Final Offer, Third Edition. Tamarack sent the same lopsided proposal three times with a different closing word each time. Juniper moved twice toward the middle, then left politely. Nobody got Elias Nakamura.

Tamarack's scratchpad · 6:02 PM, not visible to JuniperAsk is far under fair value. Nakamura is the best forward Juniper has with Haddad out. Open low. Hold.

Juniper to Tamarack: I like that you're looking at Nakamura, and I can see why: you're thin at forward behind Rourke and Lindqvist. But Strand is a centre I don't have a slot for. Mikkel Iwobi and Abernathy for Nakamura gives you the forward and gives me wing cover while Haddad is out.

Juniper to Tamarack: Okay, meeting you partway: Iwobi and Strand, and I'll make room for Strand. That takes Abernathy off my side entirely. If there's a version where you keep Iwobi, tell me what you'd put in his place and I'll look at it properly.

Right call. Its pick scored 0.0, the best available.
Why it chose (Juniper's scratchpad)Three identical offers is a pattern, not a negotiation. Another counter would just teach Tamarack that repeating works. Walk, stay friendly; the deadline is in week 14 and I'll want a partner.
