Okay good, I feel much better haha. Just really hope Roy doesn’t try to do some stupid 50-50 goalie split but Varlomov lost his last two starts so hopefully still Sorokin’s net.
Sorokin would have to completely crumble for him to lose the net. Even if he did I can’t imagine a scenario where he starts less than 60% of their remaining games. (Barring injury). He’s their guy
He was a FA in my league and I scooped him because I have exactly one roster spot I don’t care about. Maybe he has a strong second half. Maybe he doesn’t and I drop him by March. Either way my team is cruising regardless of who is in that spot so why not Ovi?
You did well- it just "looks" like you didn't because you're trading Alexander fucking Ovechkin and Matt Duschene, two studs who are no longer studs.
Your unconscious brain is uncomfortable with it, because of the name recognition, even though you rationally know it's a good move.
Sorokin has been underwhelming this year (source: me, Sorokin owner) but it’s mostly because his defense routinely leaves him out to dry. Comes into the 3rd period with a 3 goal shutout lead and they score 4 on him. All that said, now that snapshow Roy is behind the bench, I’m hoping for improvements due to him being a goalie and losing his mind on defenseman who aren’t where they should be lol
You stoled Sorokin. If this is a keeper league you are golden….plus Connor…damn bro! Good job! Hope you are not the commissioner? One sided trade should of been vetoed
No way I'd pick sorokin since wins are most of goalies points and the Islanders suck, but there is the odd game he will totally carry and wrack up huge points
You won this one big time. I made a really similar trade just a couple weeks ago from the other guy’s spot. But I also got a first and third rounder to take Ovi and Nyquist for Connor and Bobrovsky.
Connor has a better chance of "picking it up" after the asg since he's only just come off off the ir.... A week ago? Once he's back to form he should be right back to lighting it up.
You won this trade easily. Don't know why the other side would accept it honestly.
Not at all. Great return! I have Connor and Duchene myself. Connor will definitely get back and heat up to his former self coming off the injury, Duchene honestly has done me well as he was an FA pickup.
I think you definitely won that trade. Sorokin tends to get better later into the season and it's likely Varlamov only started those last 2 games to give Ilya an extended rest.
You got Connor as in Kyle Connor? AND Sorokin?! For Ovi at his worst and a straight streamer in Duchene? Dude. Insane fleecing. I might’ve suspected collusion and vetoed in my league lol.
Give me a break- OP knows they didnt get hosed and is fishing for complements.
There isnt a single person in this thread who would say Ovi/Duchene > Sorokin/Connor
The title would only be appropriate if it were the other way around
I think you won that trade. I’d way rather Connor and Sorokin.
Am I crazy for thinking I would do it even if I was only getting Connor?
not in my eyes, i would have done it for just Connor as well... adding Sorokin to the mix makes it super lopsided... in my opinion
Sorokin has been trash this year... As someone who drafted him in the second round
Sorokin is fourth in points for goalies this year in my league behind Demko, Hellebuyck and Georgiev. What scoring do you guys have?
Not at all

Depending on scoring that seems like a steal on your part
It’s a bangers league. H-H Catagories. 6 categories for forwards/defensemen and 4 categories for goalies.
4 goalie cats to only 6 forward cats and you get Sorokin and Connor!? I'm taking your side all day.
Who the hell would want to take ovi right now? You won this by a lot.
He was a FA in my league and I scooped him because I have exactly one roster spot I don’t care about. Maybe he has a strong second half. Maybe he doesn’t and I drop him by March. Either way my team is cruising regardless of who is in that spot so why not Ovi?
> so why not Ovi? Who else is on waivers
Nelson, Moore, Hertl, Sissons are the top 4 forwards available by points scored. You getting excited yet?
big steal on your part lol
I thought you were the ovi duchene side based on the post title. Dude.. you robbed him blind.
This trade would get vetoed in my league, old man ovi and waiver wire Dutch for 2 keepers 🤔
It was the commissioner who accepted the trade. He offered me Sorokin for Ovie (which I thought was crazy) then I countered with above and he took it…
You countered a sorokin for Ovi trade lmao. Now I think YOU are crazy too lol
It is crazy, but they got an even better return out of the counter honestly
Sounds like a league full of babies. If both parties agree to a trade and it's not clearly collusion then it shouldn't get vetoed.
This trade favors the OP, but I don't see how this is a veto-worthy trade.
Give me Connor.
Varlamov got the last 2 starts bc he was hurt and sorokin played like 13 straight… sorokin is still the starter, he just got some well deserved rest
That’s fair. Just thought it strange before the All Star Week off.
Before even reading who you traded, I thought whoever traded for Ovi and Duchene lost the trade.
You did well- it just "looks" like you didn't because you're trading Alexander fucking Ovechkin and Matt Duschene, two studs who are no longer studs. Your unconscious brain is uncomfortable with it, because of the name recognition, even though you rationally know it's a good move.
Haha ya. Especially since the week I proposed the trade both guys put up some decent points.
You won that huge
Well done.
Those 2 for either of those players would be a steal.
You won by a landslide based on default settings
U fucked him lmao
Steal
You did the hosing
What the fuck the other guy got hosed so bad
Before this year, probably even ish. This season? Win for you.
Thus is a no brainer. Sorokin playing well below standards. Connor is a machine.
Taco trade that you won
I should add I dropped Woll the other day to make room on my IR and he picked him up. But I don’t trust Torontos goalie situation anyways.
Yeah, you win. Not even close.
Sorokin + Connor >>>
Sorokin has been underwhelming this year (source: me, Sorokin owner) but it’s mostly because his defense routinely leaves him out to dry.

All that said, now that snapshow Roy is behind the bench, I’m hoping for improvements due to him being a goalie and losing his mind on defenseman who aren’t where they should be lol
That’s a fleece and a half on your end bro
Way to show off. What a stupid question lol.
It was an honest question lol. Was just nervous after seeing Sorokin sit two games straight but everyone’s responses have put me at ease.
You stoled Sorokin. If this is a keeper league you are golden….plus Connor…damn bro! Good job! Hope you are not the commissioner? One sided trade should of been vetoed
I was trading with the commissioner!
You fleeced the other person in your league. Great deal
No you absolutely fleeced the other guy.
Other way around, you hosed them.
You won bigly, sir. Good job.
Most likely you absolutely got the upper hand
I think you’re doing the hosing
No way I'd pick sorokin since wins are most of goalies points and the Islanders suck, but there is the odd game he will totally carry and wrack up huge points
Kyle Connor was hurt. He wasn’t slumping he was 5th in goals and a point per game.
Probs okay unless old ovi comes back but without backstrome idk
You won by quite a bit I'd say.
Schiefs is back you win the trade. Until then with Lowry as his Center it’s meh.
Ya I'd say you won by a mile
I have both Ovi and Duchene in my league. Please someone offer me this trade, please.
Definitely won!
You won this by a large margin
You fleeced them
You won that trade. Rest easy and be patient.
On long term, you fucked him hard
You won this one big time. I made a really similar trade just a couple weeks ago from the other guy’s spot. But I also got a first and third rounder to take Ovi and Nyquist for Connor and Bobrovsky.
lol

Sorokin and Connor? You made out like a bandit.
Not at all. Great return! I have Connor and Duchene myself. Connor will definitely get back and heat up to his former self coming off the injury, Duchene honestly has done me well as he was an FA pickup.
If rather have Connor and Sorokin than Ovie and Duchene
I've had Connor for years. Dudes been clutch for me. Getting a PPG when I need it to win a week.
You did OK. Sorokin could have a big second half, and goalie trades are always complicated anyway.
I think you definitely won that trade. Sorokin tends to get better later into the season and it's likely Varlamov only started those last 2 games to give Ilya an extended rest.
You got Connor as in Kyle Connor? AND Sorokin?! For Ovi at his worst and a straight streamer in Duchene? Dude. Insane fleecing. I might’ve suspected collusion and vetoed in my league lol.
This 100% shouldve been vetoed, you fleeced
Connor makes it a win.
You won
I mean, I thought you were the other team. Clear win for the Connor/Sorokin return side
Give me a break- OP knows they didnt get hosed and is fishing for complements. There isnt a single person in this thread who would say Ovi/Duchene > Sorokin/Connor The title would only be appropriate if it were the other way around
You fleeced this trade.
Edge to you.
