Description

For the record I'm against trading Laine but I'm about 99.9% sure he's getting moved at some point so I'm trying to get used to the idea as much as I hate it.. 😃.. He's a pretty polarizing player, don't think he'll get as good a return as Jets fans would like whether they overrate him or not, so is this fair or not enough? Would Detroit consider it?
Obviously both teams would need to have an idea of the contracts these guys are looking for before making this deal, Wings have Seider coming and some other good D prospects so maybe they'd part with Hronek, sending Gawanke along with Laine to cushion the loss of Hronek, he's an RHD prospect that had a good first pro season in the AHL.

Trading Roslovic cause he wants out, I don't think he should be traded but he seems as good as gone so trying to recoup something for him, don't give me any nonsense about Borgström being untouchable cause his AHL numbers are hardly impressive.

Bruins fans are steadily dumping Ritchie and the Jets could use some size so why not.

The Jets could add a little bit to these deals but not much, I think they're pretty fair. Winnipeg would have plenty of cap space to sign their RFAs and UFA's in the offseason and as for the expansion draft who cares, that can be figured out later.

So are these fair deals or not, is Laine worth more or not, do any of these teams consider these deals?
Let me know in the comment section but let's keep them constructive, thanks!

If Zadina pans out and Raymond comes in, does DET really need Laine? I think they would rather keep Hronek, regardless of value, since they have firepower coming to their team soon. They need a center more than a winger at this point.

If that's all Laine would return in a trade now, then Jets are just better off keeping him for 3 years and letting him walk as a UFA.

I agree with this. While I don’t think that the Jets will get the value they want, there are better deals out there. I’d rather let him walk after 3 years than take a crappy deal

I'm a Laine fan but honestly Detroit doesn't have enough pieces in place to accept a trade like this. They have what 4 good players and a bunch of promising prospects

Honestly, I think they have the pieces to replace what’s lost in this trade. But they’d say no because if Zadina works out and if Raymond pans out they have no need for laine.
