4 Year Dynasty

First off you cant just randomly put healthy players on LTIR that's not how that ish works at all.

Second, PIT can't take the risk of a Mantha bounce back

Third, Columbus and Rust say no to the Laine trade.

Sorry, Columbus has exactly 0% interest in trading their 25-year-old elite scorer for an aging <.5 ppg Rust and spare parts.

I don't like the trade either but to call Poulin (22yo former 1st) and POJ (24yo NHL ready dman) "spare parts" is disenguous.

Toews has already announced he’s stepping away from hockey and may not play at all this year.
Kane will likely sign only with NYR.
Mantha is terrible.
Columbus declines.
0/4

Not really. At 22-years-old, the fact that he's a former 1st is irrelevant. It would maybe matter if he was 20.

POJ is a fine 3rd pairing dman, but 3rd pairing dmen are easily replaceable, so those are spare parts when we're comparing to the value of Laine, a top-line winger who has scored at a ppg pace and has 50 goal potential when fully healthy.
