Friedman's off-hand comment that FLA might be calling CBJ about acquiring Laine has sparked some trade discussion despite there being no real evidence that Jarmo is actively shopping Laine. As has been reported, Laine will not be moved unless Jarmo is given an offer he can't refuse, this trade proposal is meant to show what it would take to acquire Laine this offseason. I strongly doubt this trade happens unless Florida REALLY wants to get Laine on Barkov's wing to try and make a deep run in the playoffs over the next few seasons. You can also switch out Domi and Bennet for Jones and Nutivaara.

I'm posting this trade to temper any expectations of Laine being moved, Jarmo considers him to be a key piece of our rebuild and will not move him unless the return gets us a better piece to build around.

Honestly, Bennett looked great in FLA and will come cheaper than Laine. I'd stick with what I got and keep the pick and Lundell, and resign Bennett at a much more reasonable cost than a one dimensional player like Laine.

This is ridiculous lol
In no world is this a fair trade or anywhere remotely close to fair
Florida is shafted big time

Yeah, which is why Laine isn't going to be traded to Florida this offseason and likely ever. I made this in response to people extrapolating Friedman's comment that "Florida might ask about Laine" into CBJ currently working on a trade with Florida. This is what Florida would have to offer, and they're not going to do that, for good reason.
