I dig it

I feel like you can get a better package for Laine

It's much too much for the Flyers to give up. Couturier on his own is already probably about on par with Laine's value, if not more. He's a 76 point center the past two years, a 30 goal scorer, is absolutely unreal defensively (that's the thing Laine doesn't know how to play) and is on a ridiculously amazing contract. On top of that, you're adding a solid 3rd liner, a really exciting RHD prospect for Philly, and a 2nd. Comrie looks solid, sure, but that's maybe the 2nd at most. Flyers would never do it because Couturier is just more valuable to any team that has him than Laine would be.

For sure. It's so hard to place value on Laine right now, whereas you know what Couturier is and the value he has. I think Laine has this "generational talent" label that excites fans, as it should, but in reality I think a guy like Couturier is more valuable

Please people. Stop dumping big salaries for 7th round picks lol.

why?
If you're creating a fake trade and need to make room and teams have only a certain amount of roster spots
