It’s going to take a lot more than that to move Laine. SJ unlikely to be the destination. He’ll have to go to a team with a strong veteran group.

Jackets are not retaining half on laine and adding picks to move him. With half retention he should at least get a late first plus back

Laine's value is hard to determine. Sharks would accept this. Low risk high potential reward. The Sharks have plenty of cap space and would take this deal with no retention.

Based on the title, I thought you were going to ask for Logan "Culture" in exchange for Laine. 🙃

You will be sadly let down

I’m not delusional but there’s no way they have to attach a third and fourth to him half retained to get rid of him

I was referring to the 1st round pick suggestion

Buddy what are you talking about? Laine has value and yeah SJ would very much be interested to bolster their offense. With NO retention he'll still cost something

He'd still cost at least a 2nd + to get him with no retention

Ok lets sit down here and use something called critical thinking...Columbus has no cap concerns right now, Columbus appears that their goal would be to try to finish around 16-21 in the league this year...why in the world would Columbus sell off on an asset that is a PPG player, former 40 goal scorer, can finish anywhere on the ice, is heavy bodied and still relatively young when they don't have to?

I am telling you all...y'all are gonna be shocked at the return. All it takes is one desperate GM in July who missed out on their preferred Free Agents and needs more fire power is gonna call up Columbus and at this point Columbus has the leverage as they are not required by the league to honor a trade request.
