Way too Much for Podkholzin. Could get him for that third alone I'm sure.

Columbus isn't taking back Josh Anderson, And way too much for Laine the dude can't even stay healthy for more than 65% of the season.

You'd have to imagine it costs far more than than that to dump 3 years of dead cap in Anderson.

Columbus doesn't touch that with a 10-foot pole, and Anderson's NTC probably ends the discussion quickly.

Columbus isn't taking back a worse/longer-term contract than Laine, full stop. Option A) is keep him and hope for a rebound, option B) is trade him if we get some assets we like. If there's strings/an anchor attached...option A) it is.

Canucks aren't trading him for a 3rd. He's defensively responsible and cheap so it's worth it just to keep him and hope he breaks through next season. He's looked good since being called up and I could see him taking a step like Hoglander did this year.
