This is not a very good team.

The Winnipeg teams Laine were on had much more talent and couldn't win.
Ristolainen might be the worst defenseman in the league. He is awful. I would take Subban 100X out of 100. All he does it try to level people and he missed 80% of the time and puts hiself out of position.
You are trading a serviceable overpaid 2nd pairing Dman for a terrible overpaid 3rd pairing DMan and you are giving up a 1st and 3rd. Yuck.

Dougie hamilton needs a market that doesn't really care about hockey.

Why not sign Hoffman - who will do the same thing as Laine at half price. Score some goals and play zero defense.

Hirschier is a stud, why pair him with someone who doesn't play the game right. He production would plummet or stagnate due to having to cover for a rookie and a pigeon.

Quoting: Propeller09

You're so correct on so many things and then you have to do Dougie like that. Man, that could've been a really good comment if you didn't follow that dumb, baseless narrative. He was incredible in Boston AND Calgary - neither of those teams should've moved him
