LMAO what a horrible take.
Please.... elaborate on why you think that is? I'd love to hear it. You think the Jets should trade Laine, I think they shouldn't under any circumstance short of a clear overpayment. Anything close to "fair value" shouldn't be considered unless it's a 1 for 1 hockey trade. If you're going to 3 or more pieces that's a hard pass especially when there are question marks with all the pieces being offered.
Will Juulsen's vision ever be the same? It impacted him in the AHL. can he adjust? I don't think so and so he doesn't address our need for a future top pair RHD. If he didn't have the injury who knows but not taking the risk when we're talking about moving Laine.
Drouin failed when they played him at C so he doesn't address our need for a 1b center to play behind Scheif. At best he's a replacement winger for the top 6 but we already have guys we can play in that spot so he's not needed nor wanted at all. I get that you want to move him, but that doesn't mean that we want to take him.
Suzuki is probably who we would have drafted had we not switched spots with Vegas so they would select an expiring contract in the expansion draft. He probably will be good in a few years but our window is now and there's always risk with prospects. Since I was taking Domi I was leaving Suzuki so you still have KK, Danault, Suzuki down the middle longer term.
a 2nd round pick is going to get us a less than 30% chance at a player that plays in the NHL at all. Doesn't get me excited.
