Depends on the teams direction and feelings about Parssinen and Tomasimo (is he a winger now or would he get looks at center?).

That said, Garland makes the most sense looking at those top 6 wingers. He also won't cost an arm and a leg like Laf would. Canucks would be eyeing picks or a combination of Fabbro or Foote +.

none. laf is intriguing, but I'm not sold on his game at the moment.

aside form that, I'd rather take Olofsson. our issue is scoring, and adding a 25-30 goal scoring PP merchant couldn't hurt.

if we're dumping assets into the pot, maybe there's a younger, better LW we could snag somewhere

Do any of these guys move the needle that much?

I wonder what WPG does in the off-season. The Jets have some interesting forwards, if they decide to sell off some players.

Quoting: PhilsWeiner

My concern with Laf is that Hynes will play him on the 4th line or sit him in the press box like he did with Tolvy.
