facts but montreal isnt moving kk suzuki caufield or romanov so....

I know, and that’s kind of the point I’m trying to make. In big deals like this, each team will have to compromise somehow. I think Caufield or KK is a realistic option but I can see Romanov and Suzuki being totally off the board.

If you took the time to watch any jets games, you would’ve seen a totally different Laine lol. He’s not a liability in his own end lol. Yes his defensive game isn’t on a selke level but he’s really improved his 200ft game. If you don’t watch a number of games you wouldn’t know that lol.

See I’m okay with you thinking this, reason being that I know it’s an overpayment. Trying to emphasize on the fact that teams would have to overpay to get him.

I get it. Based on the Canes cap situation coming up, Im only interested in Ehlers. Laine will cost too much when Dougie and Svech will as well. No Necas though.

MTL declines
CAR possible...close enough to tweak...Pesce or Necas, not both
EDM probably declines unless they think RNH is walking after season
NJD declines
NYI accepts

Laine is overrated but he will still get the biggest return if he is traded - he is a household name and teams will pay a premium for goal scorers. For the islanders, they’re better off attempting to trade for ehlers/Connor. Laine is going to want at least 9 mill on his next contract and he isn’t worth that.

isles would only accept if it was one for one with pulock. Nelson is a top 6 forward and pulock is a top 2 Dman. Both of those Laine is an overpay for sure, isles would rather ehlers or connor 1 for 1 with pulock if they did any trades

Laine and Heinola...and NYI would save $$ in Barzal year. Worth considering.

Most of his offense comes on the powerplay. His even strength offense is decent, but his even strength defense is in the 8th percentile of all NHL players. That means 92% of all NHL players are better than him at defense.

Carolina will not move both Pesce and Necas for Laine, it's likely one or the other.

Thats a fair trade, but the isles don’t need heinola. The opportunity cost to acquire Laine is too much for what they have to give up and pay him on his next contract. Laine is a 7-7.5 mill player , but he’ll get 9-9.5 on his next deal and he likely won’t live up to it. Ehlers is already providing excess value on his contract and Connors deal is fair.

Losing a 2C and 1RD for a 1RW and a LHD you don’t need doesn’t make the team better in the next 2 years.

I think NYI need to add to 1-for-1 Pulock for Laine. But this offer was Laine /Heinola for Pullock/Nelson. Its not crazy. I would do that.

NYI are deep down the middle. Adding Laine or Connor to the league's 2nd worst power play seems like a good idea.

The islanders would be a better team with pulock and Nelson in the lineup than just Laine/Connor

Seriously.... he has 16 points on the pp this year 8 goals 8 assists and 47 points even strength 20goals 27assists... hardly relying on the pp, and our defence crops were basicly nonexistent this year so all our forwards defence stats r pretty low. Have to say he is one of the better 2 ways players we got
