even in a loss aversion trade, laine alone is worth 1st + very good / legit prospect + project prospect. NJ side is way too lean

You’re either undervaluing Severson, didn’t notice I changed to the first, or just don’t like severson

No, the value simply isn't there for Laine and Stanley lol...

And what on earth is that CBJ trade?!

plead the third. he's a 25-year-old replacement level middle-pairing defenseman. you can get one of those literally any given season in free agency. he's the worse player on a league average second pairing. he's too old to be a prospect. he's just not the kind of player that's worth giving up real assets for.

An overpayment to get us to take on a small amount of cap. But we'd still happily take it.
