I get where CBJ is coming from here, they don’t want to lose much from acquiring Laine in the first place. I get that. But both Wahlstrom and Dobson look like great long term assets and while Laine would be intriguing to acquire, he has question marks. Not sure any team will give up good futures for such a risky player.
If your response to this is “we’re not going to give up Laine for any less than 2 A Prospects and a high pick, so we’ll just keep him until we get the offer we want”, well fine, but if he has a bad season, his market value will drop even more. It might be a good idea for you guys to cut your losses and get while you can while he still has value.
