Detroit Trading Block (Waiver Exempt NHLers)

[shooker]

I'd be ripped if I settled for the first offer thrown at me (unless it was exactly what I asked for) when there is multiple teams involved. At this point, you allow the teams involved to determine the price. I've got 3 teams actively involved...and all teams are given chances to up their offers if they want. When I'm at the bottom, I have to get max value especially when there is more than one team involved in the bidding.

not knocking you, i'd be doing the same thing lol

SHIT'S GOING TO GET INTENSE.

*BUMP*

If anyone is looking for a cheap defenseman, Jeff Woywitka just got claimed off waivers by the Rangers from Montreal. I waived him the other day but cleared and I won't waive him to call him back up at risk of losing him given this move by the Rangers. His cap hit is only $650K but he's not waiver exempt. I'd like around the value that I got from trading Bartulis, Ritola and Meech but I'd take a little less given he's not waiver exempt. He's nothing special but he's in the league and will probably get a chance to play with the Rangers as a 6th or be their 7th defenseman with Staal out of with injury.

I'll say minimum asking price will be a 3rd round pick (or 3rd round value)...preferrably early to middle part of the round. If offered a 2nd round pick, I'll move him no questions asked.

Ask and I shall receive...

I've been trying that for years, and all I do is get a punch in the face.

If I asked for a 1st, I'd get laughed at. I've been reasonable but I feel I've done well with flipping a few players that at one point was either a throw-in in a trade, close to being dropped outright or picked up off waivers. I'm tickled to get what I've gotten in my 4 trades involving Ritola, Bartulis, Meech, and Woywitka.

I'm not saying I've pulled a fast one on anyone but I've been able to capitalizing at having these guys at just the right time when I could get solid value for them. This is how it's going to have to be for me...I'm holding a hand of full of 3s but when 3s become wild, look out! One step at a time...
