3rd party trade arbitration

[Bylanta]

To date the suitors for my trade block player, and I have yet to agree on his value. So without tainting this discussion by mentioning anyone's current valuation of him or anything else, I call upon you, the owners not in talks for him, to help grease the wheels for a trade. I am still fairly wet behind the ears to this game and can accept that I might be erring in my judgement. A majority of my peers agreeing on his value might help myself and the people interested in him agree on his value and facilitate a trade. I hope this falls within the murky ethical confines of our game and league. If you are one of the people who have been talking to me about the player, then hopefully you can see I am not trying to be stubborn and am willing to make an effort at fairness here. Thanks for reading, looking forward to hearing your opinions.

The bonus hit that you are taking on him, in my opinion, is big so I wouldn't personally be looking to move him.

However....The fact that he is quite cheap for the next three years makes him appealing along with his age and rating. I would give him value of something in the (2.5 to 2.15 range). If he is looking for more money, this could obviously drop his value.

I was tempted to put in an offer of a second round pick but his endurance put me off a bit.

thank you for chiming in Hartford, appreciated

I feel that the price that was quoted to me was very accurate. I know you asked to not have anyone who has asked about him to chime in, and I will not reveal what was discussed. But I do feel that you have a very reasonable request for said player. IMO. If I had a greater need I would have made the move.

His value is relative.
Each team has their own financial situation + multiple positional needs. It is impossible to arbitrate what is "fair" because there are far too many values to consider.
You either accept his offer or he accepts yours. If either can't give in, then no deal. Move on.
