Sujet: Jets less Laine
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Welcome to CapFriendly and try not to take anything personally. Of course Detroit accepts this. I still don't think Detroit wants to trade Mantha but this is that HUGE over payment you can't turn down. I imagine there will be a bunch of Winnipeg fans angry with this trade since it is quite lopsided in Detroit's favor.</div></div>

Thank you. I don’t think it is an overpayment. Cap space is worth something. Laine can score lots of goals, but Jets need money for defence. It’s about winning a cup with the best team. Mantha is a solid player that is in his prime and will make his line mates better.

Detroit is also taking a bad contract off the Jets hands. That is worth a pick. That’s why I didn’t add anything else from the Detroit side.

Sure, throw in a pick to make it happen if necessary, but the Jets are a better team with Mantha than Laine and there would be a chance to improve the d and have cost certainty for years on a Mantha contract extension. We could ask for Zadina a 1st and something else, but that doesn’t help the Jets now. They have to move forward as Wheeler isn’t getting younger.

Just my view..... and I am from Winnipeg!
