Big ole nope from Winnipeg

First of all that’s a awful trade. 2nd why would u sign laine right to his ufa year so he can leave?

Drouin in , Tatar out
Juulsen
1st in 2021
1st in 2022
2nd in 2020 Conditional , if MTL makes ECF the 2020 2nd becomes a 1st .
3rd in 2020

Drouin and Juulsen plus the shot at 3 firsts .
Laine's a 21 year old 40 Goal Scorer so the expectation is any team getting
him will be in the playoffs making the picks 16-31st .
Drouin and Ehlers together gives them confidence enough to move a Laine .

Connor-Schiefle-Wheeler
Drouin-Little-Ehlers

thats a pretty solid top 6

An offer sheet where you give up four 1st round picks is less expensive then the trade you listed....that's just a ridiculous overpayment

but this way , they dont match
see how that works ?

Again Twenty One Year Old FORTY G-O-A-L S-C-O-R-E-R-S Arent Cheap .
Even with Four Firsts Returned there's no upside to WPG not matching .
Unless you give them something they might Covet in a Drouin -Ehlers reunion .

MTL gets a Finnish Elite Goal Scorer to play with Kotkanemi Longterm .
We're clearly the winners in this deal going from Sergachev to Drouin to Laine
