Description
Laine has as bad underlying results as Kuzy but with less points, is more expensive, signed longer term, and isn't a center. This would be putting a hell of a lot of pressure on McM to be the guy and carry someone in Laine who does not drive play at all but I think it's worth it.

I can't see either team doing this. Kuzy has less money owed and a shorter contract, so what's the incentive for Washington to take on Laine, outside of he's a younger player?

Same reason I think CBJ would at least be somewhat interested -- just change things up. Caps have given Kuzy an incredibly long leash to get back to his best but he honestly looks like the teams 4th or 5th best center right now. You hope that getting Laine out of CBJ to somewhere where he can just be a secondary guy gets him back to what he was his first couple of years in the league. For CBJ, maybe getting Kuzy finally out of DC (where he supposedly has not been happy for the past ~3 years) will bring him back closer to what he was from 2018-2020.

Caps can also afford to be a little more generous with the money. Short term, Backstrom retiring gives them a ton of room to work with. Long term, they realistically have just this year and next before they really blow things up.

I can see the argument for it, I just don't know that *I* would take the offer. But then again, I'm just some schlub on the internet haha
