Description

How much is enough to trade away for a bonafide Top6 forward who put himself in the assistance program?
Seems like Laine needs a reset - Jarmo, who signed him, is no longer there, so bring him in for a fresh start.
Package:
NHL Winger, NHL-Ready Prospect, a college prospect (RD with an NHL pedigree) and a 1st round pick. Maybe too much risk - but really want the guy.

Skinner buyout is a needed culture reset.

Focus on speed and agitation.
Rebuild your 3rd line.
Tell Krebs to be an asshole like he can and play agitating 4th line minutes.

Ya, that's an easy no for the Sabres. He hasn't played 60 games in a season since 19/20 where he only played 68. He's also just not worth all that.

This is a mess.
Laine wouldn't fetch a 1st, let alone all of that value.

Laine is a .80ppg guy on a bad CBJ team, and has been a victim of bad hits, fluky injuries, and (oh yeah!) NHLPA assistance. Put him on BUF's offense, and he'd light **** up.

That being said, CBJ would love this, but I'd have a hell of a team convicning BUF this was the right move for them right now.

2019-2020? You mean the season that only had 68 games? A whole lot of guys only played like 60 games that year. The argument against the Sabres making this deal is plenty strong without using misleading numbers.
