Zegras for Laine

This should be good, Both players who can't even stay healthy for one another.

I don’t think this works for either side, and I say this as the idiot who posted a Zegras for CBJ’s first last night.

I agree the value swings too heavily in Ana's favor, however, is there a way to make it work by upgrading the pick to ANA 24 2nd?

I know Laine is capable of a lot, but he's got a big number for someone who's a frequent flier on IR.

Is Laine a fit for Anaheim, though? Doesn’t seem like a Verbeek player for one, and I feel like Anaheim needs solid depth more than a Laine.

I'd be curious to see what other CBJ fans think, but honestly...I'd take that, if Anaheim offers that.

We'd be getting a similar scorer with a much better contract, better age (although that's marginal), and slightly better metrics. Also wouldn't be shocked if Zegras' long-term health is better, and he fits the rest of the core slightly better.

Maybe Anaheim makes the 3rd a 2nd, but I like the idea for a reset/hockey trade.
