If its overpay i don’t care, this is proof of concept to see if these trades are possible. Underpay? Let me know what i might have to add to get a deal done. Thanks for the feedback

JT MIller is a good player.......but........he is not worth half of Laine, let alone Carlsson AND a 1st

The Monahan trade is decent, but I don't see Jarmo parting with the CBJ 1st in this deal. Maybe the TB or Toronto 1st, but not the CBJ 1st.

Monahan has fallen off a cliff. We shouldn't be adding much to domi for him.


Also Monahan and Laine CAN NOT play together, so if the miller trade doesn't happen we would be in a jam there

By that same logic Laine has fallen off a cliff. I look at the overall lineup and how solid it looks, especially in the middle of the ice and how much more complete these lines look and think to myself, its worth it. This looks like a roster that wins, whats that worth? Laine is a paper tiger to me and if i have to overpay some superficial values to pry Miller and Monohan and get them on a CBJ roster, i’m ok with it. Plus thats the way most trades work in the real world because most GM’s will shrug and say well its fair value but all things being equal, we’ll just keep him and nothing happens. Also Monohan having a down year during covid, but look at his history of consistent production the last 5 years, I know he’ll bounce back next year when things are normal again

At first i was worried about the value of Laine. Now i realize depending on who you ask Laine is worth a lot on paper, or very little based on his current production. Let me put it to you this way. Do you care more about superficial values or do you care about winning and solidifying the middle of the ice for the first time in.....ever? I mean when i see the resulting roster we would have, don’t those previous paper values seem quite meaningless?

Monahan is one dimensional. Goal scoring
