Gotta get this off my chest. In another league I'm in, there was a bi trade. It was approved and no one said anything about it, so I did. I made a legitimate case stating I was surprised the deal was approved. Everyone who replied including the Commisioner said I was completely wrong.
So, I wanted to ask if I was wrong, here's the deal:
Robert Lang (81 OV) and Kim Johnson (77 ov)
for
Lars Jonsson and Joe Thornton (83 OV)
Tell me if you think it's fair and that I made some trouble for nothing

I dont know about the other GM's but it would depend which side of the fence am I on. If I plan on rebuilding then getting Thornton and Jonsson is a good move to make. If it means losing 2 older players (and their contracts) then you have to make the deal.
If your going for the cup then getting Lang and Johnson would certainly help that cause. Although you were losing a stud like Thornton and assuming that Thornton wasn't the sole superstar in your lineup, getting Lang and Johnson would definitely bolster your lineup for a cup run.
Some other factors include each players contract situation and whether the league has NHL or FHL rerates.
All in all, I think its a decent deal....two cents worth...

Well I dont think Lars Jonsson is young anymore. I do believe he is an older prospect. Joe Thortnton is one of the premier players in the league but maybe something could have went with him besides Jonsson but not that big of a rip.

Well, if the rebuilding team got the two older players, that would make the deal a little lopsided....still close enough to call a deal in most leagues though.
I would like that GM to contact me for some trade talk as well.... ;D

The fact that the rebuilding team got the 2 older players doesn't mean it was a lopsided trade, it just means they made a stupid move. There is a difference between thinking a team made the wrong trade and thinking a team made an unfair trade.
Although neither player has as much value as Thornton, Lang is still a top line player who can put up just as many points as Thornton. Granted, outside of offensive output Thornton brings much more to the table than Lang, but I think Johnsson makes up the difference.
Value wise, the trade is fair enough.

I agree with Chris, I think the trade isn't that bad. Although, Thornton is a young stud, Lang came off a career year (based on the fact that there are NHL re-rates). However, I do see where you're coming from Pete...we all have our own opinions, right?
