Dark horse

As a Jets fan, I like it. I can't get a read on what value Laine actually has, but this seems alright.

This seems like a little much for Laine. I'd think Severson, Zacha, one of the prospects (and maybe a pick) would be fitting for both sides. NJD stills to add a d-man, and by trading away Severson, they will need two. Zacha gets underrated since his draft position was high, but his point totals are low...but young centers are valuable, even if they are 3rd liners. Okhotyuk is a future middle or bottom-pair but a guy NJD expects to be NHL regular. Boqvist can fly, but hasn't proven up his offensive skillset yet.

My counter: Severson, Zacha, Boqvist, 2021 1st round pick (top-3 protected)...for...Laine and Samberg or Heinola

Can't see the Jets including either Heinola or Samberg in a Laine trade.

Nor could I. I also can't see Jets trading Laine.

Oh at this point a Laine trade seems inevitable unfortunately, just a question of when, not sure what the reason is but the damage is done imo, my guess is he remains a Jet this season and is traded next offseason.
