TBL: Petry & 4rdp
EDM:R.Gudas & Sustr

Tampa bay needs to add depth to there D before the playoffs.

So you trade the Gudas (who will be back by playoffs and isn't close to UFA), and Sustr, who is a young, developing D-man currently on the roster for a UFA D-man (who may not even be that much better than Gudas, and certainly won't replace his toughness) and a 4th. This upgrades Tampa until they would have gotten Gudas back around playoff time, and doesn't really add depth because they are shipping a non injured NHL defenceman as part of the deal. To me this would be a no brainer for Edmonton and a very short sighted move for Tampa, which is against their philosophy.

I don't think I've ever seen a trade on here that's actually happened. Its just for fun and things you would like to see. And I've seen some of your trades. Not any better. So I would not be talking.

I'm at least considering each teams needs and I think my ability to access trade value is solid.
Your trade does completely ignore TBs needs and it's situation.
Carle and Gudas are injured. That's why they are looking to maybe add a defenseman. While Petry theoretically could be that guy, how does it make any sense when you trade away two of your own defenseman at the same time?
And as jbs said, Gudas is at least as good as Petry and definitely tougher, which is a thing TB definitely lacks.

That's why I said put a thought in your trades. Because it completely ignores TBs needs and situation. Period.
