This might ruffle some feathers, but laine is exactly what Winnipeg needs. Funny how when you fill one hole, another one pops wide open. I guess wheeler falling off a cliff also contributes to that. I’m more so just testing the waters on this idea, I have no clue what CBJ would be looking for. Laine hasn’t been amazing, but hasn’t been bad in Columbus. I basically tried to find fair value in my eyes as a jets fan, and then add more to make me extremely uncomfortable as that’s usually where the correct value lies. Heinola would be a nice piece to add to the backend for CBJ’s future. Lucius adds another skilled piece to their forward prospect pool, he’s been great in college and likely is 2 years away. The 1st is a no brainer and honestly probably falls between 17-23 so still a solid pick for Columbus in a talented 2022 draft year. Laine only has 1 year and this deal likely is made closer to the TDL so I feel like CBJ would be open to retaining to acquire more.

Let me know what you guys think. It’s probably still not enough but who knows. Do the jackets need goalie prospects? Jets have a few underrated goalie prospects in Moe and Holm, one of the two could be added as a sweetener.

Perfetti goes down after his 9th game, jets need to keep him on that ELC to compete for the next 3 years. I think people underestimate how valuable players on ELCs that contribute a lot are.

Tried to use a more balanced lineup.

More than open to constructive feedback, let me know in the comments what needs to be changed/added.
