IMO other teams will top that offer for Laine.

Zero chance Winnipeg considers a 30 year old rental as a main piece for Laine.

that feels way too high for Josh Anderson. Drop the 1st to a 2nd and then maybe

I think that is a fair trade for the Oilers, however I think Oilers are signing JP within a week. So he might be off the market.

Where have you heard this? The last time I heard anything was he is still very untrusting of his situation in Edmonton. Maybe a sign and trade?

Savard is a valuable piece, but in that particular package he is by far the least valuable piece that CBJ would be parting with.

That's true, but when you're offering a quantity for quality package every piece in the quantity package needs to be a desirable piece for the other team.

In a vacuum, yes. History would disagree though, or at the very least suggest that teams value players/prospects far differently than fans and writers do.

A few examples:
- the Panarin trade to CBJ
- Turris to NSH (when he was still good)
- Duchene to OTT
- Stone to VGK
- Seguin to DAL
- O'Reilly to STL
- Karlsson to SJS
- Hall to ARI

Most trades involving star players do three things for the team trading the star away:
1) Bringing back solid but not spectacular roster players to fill holes
2) Gaining salary flexibility
3) Adding future value

Laine is ridiculously good but GMs have repeatedly shown a willingness to part with star players in exchange for salary flexibility, veteran players who can fill holes and balance out their roster, and future assets. An example (and not a serious trade proposal) would be something like Murray + Anderson + Bemstrom + a mid-tier prospect (i.e. Hjorth) + 21OA for Laine. Is Laine going to provide more value than that? Probably. But look at that list above – all of those guys (save for Turris) provided more on-ice value than what their GMs got for them.

Sure, it's possible. But none of the players you listed have done what Laine's done at his age, so it is a unique situation. It's all just our opinions though, who knows what the GM's really think. I just can't see Chevy moving Laine unless he gets exactly what he wants since he has no reason to move Laine and is under no pressure to do so.

I think the closest parallel is the Seguin trade. Good team with some holes shopping a star player before they get really expensive. GMs do dumb stuff sometimes, obviously.

Chevy SHOULDN'T move Laine unless he gets an overwhelming return, but history suggests that if he does move Laine, it'll be a somewhat underwhelming package.
