Savard is a rental and 30. Winnipeg would not consider him as a main piece in a Laine trade.

Texier and Foudy are the main pieces in this trade, honestly Savard is the least valuable.

Actually they're all main pieces. Foudy and Texier aren't enough with the first to get it done and Savard doesn't add enough value to make it worthwhile for the Jets.

Plus center isn't as big a need for the Jets after the draft. I think they would want a young defenseman.

With an underwhelming return for Laine and 1/3 of the team being UFAs next year this Agm seems to leave Winnipeg with a rather sketchy future all told

I think Texier will be an NHLer for about a decade

Foudy less so, with Laine the CBJ pick ends up ~25
