I've been asked to contest the recent trade of Zdeno Chara to the Winnipeg Jets. I would like feedback from different GMs, but it MUST be respectful. The first GM to start a flame war will be banned suspended from the forums and warned.
I've not yet spoken to Boston about the trade.

without any details, just looking at the trade, I cant see how it would be passed in its current state. the players winnipeg is giving up (Schenn, Cormier, Festerling) are all fringe pro roster players to begin with. a 1st rd pick for winnipeg is anywhere from 15-25th overall so it isnt a top tier player either. a 7 or 7.5 prospect. i just dont see what boston even gets that makes it fair or close to fair. if a trade is borderline, i tend to not get too involved, because there are always reasons for two teams making trades. in this case, this trade is one sided with boston getting almost nothing in return.

I would have to agree that the Boston GM gets almost nothing in return for one of the best dmen in the league. I know I'd be willing to part with more than that to land Chara and I have a feeling most of the gms in the league would do the same provided they have the cap space. I could possibly see it if there were multiple firsts involved and at least one of the players coming back to boston was a 74-76ovr type of guy.

Reminds me of the Thornton trade Boston made with San Jose. Boston got 2 role players and a 3-4 dman. None of them we're on the team last year and the Bruins won a cup before San Jose.
That being said, I tend to agree with the Caps GM. Boston gets little to nothing of value in return for a top paring dman. Trading away Chara for youth and to save money is something I think we can all understand, but the return is too low.

What I find more interesting is that Boston has still yet to reply! That being said I also have no idea why Boston would want to do such a trade!

I actually don't think Boston is getting that bad of a deal - Schenn is a hell of a prospect, he's getting a first round pick and Cormier is no slouch. The guy has had some NHL time and will be back in the big league.
I think the way Boston's roster is that team is going to start rebuilding, hard to argue with Schenn and a first round pick to start that process.
Though I have been looking at a lot of trades in this league thinking most of you people are crazy at the prices you're paying, so maybe I'm the weird one and you guys are all right.
I'm holding back on voting as we haven't heard from BOS on the deal, nor do I think we've heard from Winnipeg since.

The flaw in your reasoning here is that both of those guys, although decent NHL prospects, are rated poorly in this sim. The sim doesnt care about names, only ratings.

I thought there was future rearates for young players?

Nope. Ratings only progress thru sim. There are no NHL rerates. That was decided awhile ago.
