St Louis wins pretty handily here
So does Columbus i guess

yea Take away both first rounders and its alot more fair

Isles are not paying that for Tarasenko and have no room for him.

I’d be cool with this if I were CBJ. Both first rounders are likely to be late, but that’s fine. Nothing wrong with rolling the dice on Brown, who worst case scenario could be a depth C. It’d allow Jenner to move back to the wing, which is where I think he’s better off.

That being said, CBJ would probably be doing some retaining on Laine, and Mayfield, possibly more on Tarasenko.

Tarasenko doesnt get a 1st even with 50% retention (3.75). So 1.5 doesnt get a 1st 2nd and a top 4 dman on a great contract.

There is too much coming from STL in the initial swap, but I like the idea. It all hinges on how Laine bounces back this year, but if he’s playing well enough to garner that value, I think they would probably want to hang on to him.
