I like it, although as someone else said Calgary doesn't need Enstrom. The way I looked at it was;
IF Gaudreau = Laine -- Obviously Johnny Hockey is the proven commodity, but is also after 8 mill per while Laine is cheap for 3 years.
and IF Tkachuk = Connor -- Tkachuk probably has the higher upside but I'm curious to see how Connor's game translates to the NHL.
Then the deal comes down to Enstrom for Kylingtom and a 1st, which is a no brainer for the Jets.
I guess it just depends on who you'd want moving forward. Gaudreau is the best player in the deal right now, so Winnipeg would be getting him and the best overall package. But I feel like Laine will probably be the best player in the deal long term.
Tough call. Good post.
