Both obviously, Laf has had 3 years to prove himself and hasn't managed to do much to solidify a top 6 role. His ceiling is higher but it is also looking like he won't hit it. Slaf has had a solid rookie year a lower ceiling but Montreal management feel like he will be a top line winger here for a long long time.

I think each team is happy what they have. Slaf fits MTL time line and LAF fits NYR better.

i would say each team might be somewhat unhappy with what they have, but the timeline arguments is the reason neither makes the trade!

I think this is very accurate.

I think they are happy ish because not all first go and be mcdavid right away. Power played one full season of college hockey and I don't think BUF is upset because of it.
And LAF is .50 points per game playing 3rd (2 pp points) line min I would say it is okay, he has Panarin and Kreider a head of him and Gallant prefer veterans.

Slaf showed promise but needs to use his size better. I'm not disappointed in either.

Laf is starting to come into his own, Rangers decline
