As a Sens fan I'm baffled that Laine could be available (although unsure we make the best partners) so I have two questions:
1. Excluding the 3rd overall, Brady and Chabot - What is your expected or wanted Sens return?
2. Who is your best trading partner and whats the best return you're hoping to get?
(remember this is my post, so don't just jump on me saying 3rd overall has to be included or its a non-starter. I understand this, let me enjoy my cake and read the alternatives.)

I'm not sure Laine would be a good fit for the Sens, excluding his potentially massive trade cost (and if I'm Winnipeg I'm definitely grabbing Shane Pinto) he is terrible in his own end. Even on a team with a better D core than the Jets Ottawa just doesn't have that gamebreaker in net to whisk away Laine's heavy defensive faults. Picking up Laine could end up with the Senators shooting themselves in the foot (especially since he'll be costing 12m+ for the long term).
