EDIT: no idea why this posted twice

i might have put more value on him because i watched him on the CCM (Kyle Conor, Andrew Cop and Tyler Motte) line at michigan

Caps fan here: you're tired of Beagle already?

Seriously?

i would rather have Cholowski than him

Ya maybe they should keep their first round. Who knows they might get both of the Hughes brothers.

Looking at Winnipeg's cap issues moving forward, I wonder if there is a possibility of using that 2019 First Rounder (Especially if it is #2-#5 overall) to get Laine. Perhaps a package that includes that pick and Stetcher or Tanev. This would obviously be done at the draft as from what i understand you dont give up on the possibility of Hughes and WPG doesnt make this trade until after the play-offs.

From WPG's perspective:
* They are going to have problems signing Laine, Conners and Myers, or a suitable replacement RHD.
* This proposal gives them a genuine game breaker talent pick which could step into their line-up in 2019/2020 on an ELC.
* A cost effective RHD replacement for Myers who is already under contract and who would be a great 3D on that back-end.
* The ability to keep Connors.

From Vancouver's perspective:
* Aquaman gets to make a SPLASH at the draft held in Vancouver, and they get better quicker than if they have to wait for a player to develop. Again, this is a win for Aquaman.
* Laine is the age bracket that Vancouver wants, and they have the cap-space to make it work.

These are the sorts of trades that we see in the NFL/NBA all the time, and I wonder now with the Salary Cap being around for a while in the NHL if we will start to see more of them here too!
