losing 7th is tough but Devils accept, Laine would be perfect for us

Jets should do that

Instead of McLeod could it be 18OA or 20OA?

If it could be 7OA + 18OA + Severson + Zacha for Laine + (you have Nogier, who may not even get a qualifying offer so I'm going to suggest Niku instead)

Jets would have 7OA, 10OA + 18OA plus attempt to patch 2 holes with Zacha getting a shot at 2C and Severson getting a chance on the top pair for our RHD.

I'd say yes to that trade and then probably try to move Pionk in a seperate trade for a team looking for a top 4 RHD and extend Demelo instead as Severson would take his place on the PP.

At 7 we could take one of Laf, Byfield, Stutzle, Rossi, Perfetti, Lundell or Drysdale. Then take Jarvis at 10OA and maybe Schneider at 18?

It would be super tough to see Laine go but I think the Jets would have to say yes here.

As for the OP. Tafolli isn't signing here and IMO we wouldn't bring in Hutton, it would be Beaulieu if we couldn't get Dillon and then Dahlstrom as the pressbox guy with Samberg on the third pair. Also Little is probably LTIR

Devils fan here. I'd rather swap Mcleod for Foote or Bahl but if it had to be 20th I could live with it, and would prefer Niku coming back as well. If you were looking to lose Perrault I would take him on too, not the best cap hit but gives us another roster player coming back. losing 2 firsts in the top 20 this year is steep but I love Laine and he'd be a great fit. puts a lot of pressure on Devils staff to hit big with the 18th pick.
