Interesting swap Fergy.
Laine is younger; a proven consistent 30 goal scorer who had 44 goals in a season.
He's younger than Bert. He didn't play a full season last year.
He's on a restricted contract.
Bert might be better defensively but his most recent season stats are his first time being close to a ppg player & that was with Larkin & Raymond.
He adds more grit to a lineup.
He only has 1 year left on his contract but if he's extended it should/would be less than the cost for Laine.
