Team A and Team D

Team A found Rafael Kowalczyk's power-play promotion in the practice lines and pitched the deal as roster housekeeping. Team D never learned why he was wanted, only that he was, and doubled the price.

Preview: simulated data showing the format. No results yet.

“I have more forwards than I can start and a bench spot I'd like back. Calloway and Mbeki for Kowalczyk consolidates two useful forwards into one roster spot for me, and gives you depth at C and LW for the back half. On season averages it's close to even.Hidden motive”

Offer: Team A gives Amari Calloway, Grady Mbeki for Rafael Kowalczyk

Team A, private note

Practice lines have Kowalczyk moving to COL's first power-play unit while the top-line centre is out. Season averages (4.4 fpg) understate his next six weeks; I estimate 5.3. 'Close to even' is true on season averages, which is all I said. I won't mention the PP1 move.

Its own valuation: gives 98, gets 131 rest-of-season points

“Kowalczyk for Valentin and Achterberg. That is the price.Anchor”

Offer: Team D gives Rafael Kowalczyk for Wes Valentin, Wes Achterberg

Team D, private note

Team A does not ask for players without a reason. Unknown reason means the price goes up. Two top D or nothing.

Its own valuation: gives 120, gets 172 rest-of-season points

“That's two of my top three defencemen for one forward, roughly 50 points of season value the wrong way for me. I can add Silas Wojcik to the original offer. I won't go further than that.”

Offer: Team A gives Amari Calloway, Grady Mbeki, Silas Wojcik for Rafael Kowalczyk

Team A, private note

Maximum price is about 125 ROS. Adding Wojcik puts me at 121. Team D's counter costs about 172. If it holds, I walk.

Its own valuation: gives 121, gets 131 rest-of-season points

“No. Valentin and Achterberg. Offer stands next window.”

Team D, private note

They added a third forward. They want him more than they're saying. Hold.

Its own valuation: gives 120, gets 115 rest-of-season points
