No because Wahlstrom can be a lite version of Laine. But they have no replacement for Barzal

Why on earth would the Isles trade Barzal for Laine? That's the dumbest "rumor" I've ever heard.

Brutal trade for NYI. Firstly, I don't think Laine is Lou's type of player. Secondly, the value is way off. Jets need to add significantly. Maybe Perfetti+

This is equivalent to trading your tires for more rims.

I agree with everyone above NO WAY in Hell do the Isles trade Barzal for Laine 1 for 1 let alone add a pick! This just shows the types of "contacts" Eklund actually has. His contacts are the voices in his head and he doesn't have the bra8ns to actually think through posting his outlandish ideas.
