Trade Calculator

I'd like to see some kind of tool for evaluating trades.  I love the draft pick analyzer but it would be nice to have something for trades.

The math behind the trade calculator is actually pretty straightforward.  All you would need to do is take the sum of the "+/-" value (from the Draft Pick Analyzer) from the players on your team and compare them to the sum of the "+/-" values from the players on the other team.  If you subtract your sum from their sum and have a positive number, the trade is in your favor.  The more positive the number the better the trade for you.  See the example below. 

EXAMPLE #1

THEIR OFFER
Reggie Bush (+2.42)
Todd Heap (+1.226)
TOTAL (+3.646)

YOUR TEAM
Travis Henry (+1.073)
Antonio Gates (+2.44)
TOTAL (+3.513)

THE MATH (Their Offer-Your Team) = Should I do it?

3.646-3.513=0.133

RESULT
The trade is marginally in your favor.  You could do it but it won't help that much

EXAMPLE #2

THEIR OFFER
Reggie Bush (+2.42)
Todd Heap (+1.226)
TOTAL (+3.646)

YOUR TEAM
Shaun Alexander (+3.63)
Vernon Davis (-0.894)
TOTAL (+2.736)

THE MATH (Their Offer-Your Team) = Should I do it?

3.646-2.736=0.91

RESULT
The trade is significantly in your favor.  You might want to jump on it quickly before the other owner has a chance to rethink the trade.

As of today they were...statistically, it's pretty much a wash.  Here is what I would use for a guideline for the ranges in your results:

<-1.00               You shouldn't even have to think about declining this one
-0.99 to -0.50    Clearly, the other team thinks you are a sucker
-0.49 to -0.01     Tell the other owner to come a little stronger if they are serious
0                         It is a wash, no sense in making a trade unless you are bored
0.01 to 0.49       You come out a little bit stronger...emphasis on little bit
0.50 to 0.99       The trade looks significantly in your favor
>1.00                 Hurry up and accept the trade before the other owner realizes their own stupidity
