MTL trade is a BIG overpay by NSH. No chance NSH is packaging Carrier with a 1st for Savard and Allen. Just a brutal trade. I honestly can't even get my mind around that deal...
And when it comes to trading for a guy like Laine, I'm just not sure it fits. He's going to command at least $8m long-term. And if NSH plans on re-signing Forsberg as well, do they want so many $8m+ players on the team? The whole idea this off-season was to get younger, cheaper, faster, and tougher. Laine is still young, but I think his contract is just going to be to much for NSH. As a Forsberg replacement? Sure. But then it also depends on whether Poile wants to trade a guy he just traded up for in the draft to get-- I can't see him being too likely to move L'Heureux right now. And Tolvanen's contract is just so good that I don't see any reason to trade him. He's not producing points right now, but if you actually watch him play he is playing very solid hockey.
