ATD#10 Trade Talk thread

[VanIslander]

We've never had one but we should. This is a place to state one's trade interest. It could make it easier for others to see who's thinking of maybe trading what when.

e.g. My team has 7th overall and while I'd trade down in the round if the deal is sweeter later, you won't believe I received an offer of a 4th and 6th rounder for my 5th rounder AND FIRST ROUNDER (7TH OVERALL). Would anybody in their right mind make such a trade? It must be a joke.

We would definetly like to move down a few spots possibly. We currently have #21 pick.

 

[arrbez]

The #5 pick is on the block, for anyone interested. PM myself or Rick Middleton. We do accept sexual favours.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

The Marlies have #8 and are willing to move up or down if the offer is right, so feel to PM any time.

 

[Sturminator]

Seems that trading down is all the rage these days. No surprise, three of the four teams to make the ATD#9 semis (the Bisons, Falcons and Isotopes) traded down quite a bit and were able to leverage better overall draft position because of it. Hopefully most of the board has gotten wise to the fact that trading up is generally a waste of assets, as we'll see less of that this time around.

To be honest, one of the things that almost kept me from coming back was the fact that it was becoming too much work to keep up with the guys who were making obviously profitable trades by moving down. After Eagle's ridiculously sweet deal to move down in the first of the last draft, I felt like I was behind the 8-ball from square one. Of course, I can't stop anyone from making dumb trades with my rivals, but I can hope.

 

[God Bless Canada]

raleh and I made one legitimate trade up in the last draft, to acquire a player we thought we unquestionably the most valuable one available at that point in the draft. We traded up once (at the request of another team) and I think we made one other move.

We actually didn't make a move in ATD 8. We're in a similar draft position in ATD 10 as 8, so I'd be surprised if we make a move this time.

We're certainly thrilled to be picking at No. 17.

I'm not a big fan of trading in this thing. The only time I'll usually do it is if I have a specific player in mind, one I'm a big fan of, or that I haven't had before. Outside of that, I don't see the point. It just over-complicates something that should be just for fun.

Incidentally, I don't think it was Eagle's trade down that was his biggest move. He fleeced one former GM on one trade that really cemented his team's skill level and identity.

As for pappy, there's only one trade down that really stands out, but with the assets he gained, I thought it was the trade that really set him apart, and made him the guy to beat from about the fourth round on.

 

[Leaf Lander]

ahh a thread i dont gott to post in

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

I want to either trade down, or, trade up in the 2nd...

The #5 pick is on the block, for anyone interested. PM myself or Rick Middleton. We do accept sexual favours.

5th for 18th and a promise to never sleep with you?

 

[shawnmullin]

I'm not huge on trading either. The one time my team made a lot of trades (Van and I together) we had terrific top guys and our depth suffered as a result. The only time I really get into trading is when I have someone very specific in mind and it's a small move.

 

[BM67]

As always, I'm willing to trade up or down, as long as the deal is of decent value. I have 23 and 34 in the first two rounds. I'd be willing to move right out of the first round for good value.

 

[VanIslander]

You're not kidding BM67, you sure did.

The New Jersey Devils trade their 1st, 11th and 15th round picks to the Kenora Thistles for their 2nd, 8th and 9th round picks.

dropping from the middle of the 1st round (where plenty of guys could go anyways) to the middle of the second round in order to get TWO additional top-250 picks... nice BM67 nice, especially since some 220th overallish picks can be seen as better than some 150th overallish picks

 

[Murphy]

Anyone interested in the 14th overall pick?

 

[shawnmullin]

I'm picking next but I'm willing to drop down 3-5 spots if someone really wants someone now.

 

[EagleBelfour]

I do need to trade the pick NOW, but I'm just letting know that I will probably trade my 2nd round pick, 36th overall. I'm looking to trade down in the 40's (even though I can look at any option). I'll be looking to move up in the 3rd round that's for sure.

Keep that in mind.

 

[pitseleh]

Just to throw this out there, if anyone is looking to move up in the second, depending on what happens between now and my pick, I might be willing to to move down.

I'd be looking basically for a swap of second and third rounders if I do. I know things don't quite work out evenly because of the trade I made, so I'd be willing to give a little bit up in a later round if just a second and third swap works out to be lopsided in my favour.

 

[seventieslord]

I have the 47th and 74th picks. I'd like to move down from 47th but up from 74th. Does anyone in the opposite situation with two picks in between those, want to swing a deal? Depending what the picks are, we will adjust the deal accordingly with a couple of 5ths or 6ths to keep it commensurate with the values being exchanged.

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

Open to offers on the 66th overall pick. There are a few players I would rather not trade away if I can get, but, I'm listening...

 

[seventieslord]

I think I have to keep 56 & 57 to get the players I want (and even then, I might not get them) but my next pick is 103rd. I would have to trade up to get my preferred next player because he won't last till 103rd. I have some depth in the 11th-14th rounds. Any offers?

 

[chaosrevolver]

We are looking to move up in the 3rd round. We hold pick 81.

 

[Diving Pokecheck*]

I am going to make a pick. I am interested in acquiring the very next pick. (kruezer). I just want to trade a bit up from #59 to #55.

 

[MXD]

We are looking to move up in the 3rd round. We hold pick 81.

We might be interested, depending what's going on at that time.

Otherwise, the Victoria Secrets are interesting making a slight trade down. If you have pick 62,63,64 or 65, PM

 

[Pwnasaurus]

I am going to make a pick. I am interested in acquiring the very next pick. (kruezer). I just want to trade a bit up from #59 to #55.

I can't envision him dealing the next pick given the way the board has played out but I could be wrong of course.

 

[VanIslander]

am willing to trade down the 63rd overall pick

 

[Pwnasaurus]

I can't envision him dealing the next pick given the way the board has played out but I could be wrong of course.

Of course I'm incorrect.

 

[kruezer]

Of course I'm incorrect.

I just did it because of what you said, ha

Naw, there is an obvious choice here, but he's not the one I want.
