<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Is it a lazy, unrealistic Laine trade that's been done dozens of times on this site already, and makes no sense for Columbus? Yes. But...



That's just not realistic.

That said, we're not trading Laine unless it's 1) an upgrade, 2) a 1st-line winger return, or 3) a heavily-conditioned draft haul that likely upgrades to multiple 1sts. Otherwise, CBJ (a team that needs high-end talent and has zero cap crunch) just keep him and hope for a rebound.

CBJ counters with asking the price on Caulfield, Suzuki, Slafkovsky, Reinbacher, or 5OA, since those are the only pieces we'd be interested in.</div></div>

My point is we are not trading Laine and definitely not for this offer. The ++ might be a bit much…but Beck and 5OA sounds reasonable to take Anderson as a cap dump and giving them Laine. But again we are not trading Laine.
