Yet another Laine trade idea sorry

Winnipeg declines but if not then I’d def do it

Jets decline

There might be concerns about Laine but he's still a former #2 overall pick who has surpassed expectations. Bailey is a nice player to move in a deal like this, but its gotta be defense centered. Mayfield is pretty far away from a Trouba replacement so if something like this comes to fruition it would need to involve Dobson or Pulock. Pulock is off limits so essentially, you gotta drop Bailey and the picks from the equation and ask yourself, would I rather have Laine or Dobson for the next five seasons. Tough call there.

There won't be so many bad contracts held by the Isles if Laine isn't signed. IMO paying Laine more than 9m is really iffy, and to give up assets too.
Good points by linehan10 above. Are the Isles better with Bailey and cap space than a high priced Laine?

Add Perrault from Wpg and switch Mayfield for Pulock. Then you have a deal.
