Yeah no thanks from Anaheim

We don’t want Elvis, rather keep Gibby

Tampa Bay declines. They can come up with much better ways to spend $6m than giving it to Laine.

Why on earth is Anaheim the one adding a pick to the better goalie?

Actually this makes a lot of sense. The Lightning need to replace Stamkos. Laine when healthy can more than do that. At a discount price it would be too enticing for TB who wants to keep their window open.
