Sujet: Not a Horrible Idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tonio</b></div><div>Maybe so but like it or not there's only a handful of teams that actually have cap space and are looking to add a player to win now. Laine had value but that all went out the window this past year and his 8.7 just brings it down even more. He's not going to bring in what most jackets fans hope</div></div>

The fact that he's on half the ACGM's here tells me there's plenty of interest around the league, even from teams like Chicago and Anaheim that could take the full cap hit. I think he's a $6-7M player, and Columbus would retain about $2M to bring him to that. Plenty of teams, even contenders, can afford a $6.7M top-6 winger, especially if we're taking $4-5M in salary back.

I'm not expecting a great return, but there will be plenty of offers. Every GM in the league should put a buy-low offer on a guy that could be a 40-50-90 guy when healthy in the right system. Columbus will pick the offer that's the best fit, and I guarantee it's not going to be a package of older players, C-level prospects, and mid-round picks.
