Easy no. Little in LTIR will not effect their cap and Laine is much, much more valuable than what's portrayed here...

Do we know what Little's long term status is?

NJD probably has to include their next 1st as the pick.

not probably; definitely. also, no way WPG does that lmao

Wow Jets fans are going to be very disappointed with their return if this thread is in an indication.

I don’t think the Devils pursue Laine unless the majority of the value comes from taking on the 5/26 left on Littles contract. To take on that kind of contract with the injury risk associated to a 31 yr old who already won’t play in 2020 is massive. The price for it in this covid market is incalculable.

Plus $2.3 for Palms who scored more than Laine the last two seasons while Laine “learned to be a more complete player” (like Palms is already) and $2 for Butcher is great value.

Maybe there’s still a team willing to take on $7 AAV AND send a giant return. With 98% of the cap used already, I doubt it. Good luck Jets, sorry he doesn’t want to stay, Devils fans know what that’s like.
