To Raiders:
Mark Stone
Matthew Tkachuk
Mackenzie Weegar
Ivan Chekhovich
Cayden Primeau
To Redhawks:
Johnny Gaudreau
Zach Werenski
Jusso Valimaki
Cody Glass
Igor Shesterkin
Rationale: I've come to the realization that I can't simply score my way to a championship, even in a fantasy league where points count for the most. How weird is that. My Achilles heel this year has been goaltending and defense. With this trade and the previous trade for Markstrom, I hope to have addressed that. I give up two of my relatively high scoring forwards in return for some balance in my lineup. I'm most excited about Shesterkin, who along with Markstrom and one of Korpisalo or Khudobin, will hopefully stabilize my situation in net. I'm also happy to acquire two young stud defensemen in Werenski and Valimaki so I no longer need to play the Mayfields and Yandles of the world. Full disclosure to all GMs....I don't really like Werenski that much so if there's a similar defenseman you can offer for him, I'm all ears. Gaudreau is cool too.
I think I take a bit of a hit this year in terms of points, and in a shortened season, I dont think I can catch the Seals anymore. I make this trade as more of a long term investment and hopefully I can challenge for the top again soon.
Thanks Ford. Always a pleasure.
