So youre saying mackinnon rantanen landy makar and laine on the pp? That would be far and away the best in the league

avs decline, they cant afford Laine and his contract.

Girard is worth far more than Laine, who needs another contract. This is an easy no.

not enough

This trade doesn't make sense for either team. I think Columbus would look for a player + prospect + pick for Laine and Colorado doesn't have the cap space to re-sign him unless he takes a team friendly deal.

Also Colorado can't move on from Girard until they know Byram is able to return long term. This kind of guts their defensive depth right in the middle of a cup run.

Colorado can't really fit Laine in long-term. Even if they could find a way it's not really smart to spend so much of your cap on wingers.
