One GM tried to use another trade to show what value he or she was expecting for their player. I can respect that, but it turned the deal sour, cause the price tag was a little too high.

Well with the deadline still like 3 weeks away there's no urgency to sell today because if they don't, they miss the boat. Anyone can ask for whatever they want for a player and it's up to other GM's to determine if the price is too high. You as a buyer right now may be facing more urgency to buy something now because you need it. The seller doesn't need to sell their asset.


The bottom line is the deal has to make sense for both sides. For the Nordique right now, moving a core guy doesn't make sense, because there's a big discrepancy between a core guy, and a non-core guy. I'm limited on the other assets I do have, but there's some stuff there that I'm willing to move to get a deal done.

Well if you can't offer the other party something they want than they're under no obigation to make a deal for the fun of it. It takes two to make a trade and everyone tends to value their current assets quite highly.

Everyone has their own view of their own team. 31 GM's will all have differing opinions on buying or selling. A lot of it has to do with everyone's varying theories on where their team is, what they need to do to make it better, and how they project the market to trend down the road. Too hard to simply define buyer and seller beyond what KG just did.
