Not sure what his value is either, but it is definitely more than this.

I think they would want Holtz or Mercer

Two middle 6 forwards and a 1st isn’t going to get you Laine for an in division trade, if NJD is really serious about acquiring Laine Columbus is probably asking for one of Holtz, L.Hughes or Shakir (not even going to try and spell his last name) and a 1st in the trade.

Ty smith + two 2nds for Laine? Then draft Nemec with the 2022 1st.

Would the Jackets do Boqvist, Mukhamudullin, 2023 first for Laine?

Throw in Tatar as a cap balancer and maybe, I’m not Jarmo but adding a solid defensive prospect is a need for Columbus.

CLB fans want the moon but watch he gets traded for a 2nd & 3rd, lol

So we give up a handful of major pieces to acquire him, then have to pay him $10 million or see him walk after a year....all for a sniper with 4 goals.

Sign me up!
Where is the CBJ fan that wanted Hughes AND Hischier for him?

Kuokkanen and a 2nd.

Max I would do.

I wouldn't want the Devils to trade for Laine at all.
He's gonna commander a significant return involving Mercer, Holtz or L Hughes.
I'd be very hesitant to send a package involving those guys for a rather inconsistent (albeit very talented) scorer with limited years of team control.
Don't do it fitz.

I like this, especially with how badly the Jackets need defense

Honestly I think this is probably the value of laine. I like zacha and the first would be nice, If it were to be this year.

Let’s say it’s this year and 10th overall, I think cbj takes it. We send back a small addition to even things out.

Skip him
Look at Gaudreau or Forsberg in FA
I'd rather ship Smith+ or a pkg to get Chychrun
D would be done for years JC absorbs some of the Dougie money for now
stupid good top 4, minutes can be much more even throughout.
Pay for the sniper in FA and go.

I mean he has 13 points in 16 games so hes still a pretty good player but he's missing an elite center, I think if you give him Hughes he's easily a 40 goal scorer, Every game Hughes could get like 8 assist if people could finish and if you gave him someone with a shot like laine it think it would help them both
