I just made a trade in my Yahoo! keeper league that I profiled before

other team (Players to Trade)

		Rankings		Rosters	Offense
Forwards/Defensemen	Opp: 12/31	O-Rank	Rank	% Owned	G	A	+/-	PIM	PPP	GWG	SOG	HIT
Brandon Dubinsky (NYR - C,LW)		116	143	50%	3	14	8	62	1	0	61	91

As Cam pointed out before my roster is full of skill players or as he put it "soft players" and I lacked any physical presence other than an oft injured Ryan Malone

this was the deal I offered straight up though I will miss the PPP, which the other owner really needs, and I also have Mike Green who if the reports are accurate should be back in the lineup soon, I won't miss the minus rating and figure that this deal helps in 3 cats while diminishing only the 1.

I also told the owner I would be interested in Backes and named a few players that I would consider for him and expected a counter proposal and didn't really think he would go 1 for 1

So am I missing something was this a good deal for me. Will likely only keep 2 or 3 defencemen end of season

My other D-Men are Mike Green, Anton Babchuk, Dmitry Kulikov, Kyle Quincey, Stefan Elliott, Carlo Colaiacovo, Ryan Ellis, and Braydon Coburn
