Depends on the teams direction and feelings about Parssinen and Tomasimo (is he a winger now or would he get looks at center?).

That said, Garland makes the most sense looking at those top 6 wingers. He also won't cost an arm and a leg like Laf would. Canucks would be eyeing picks or a combination of Fabbro or Foote +.

none. laf is intriguing, but I'm not sold on his game at the moment.

aside form that, I'd rather take Olofsson. our issue is scoring, and adding a 25-30 goal scoring PP merchant couldn't hurt.

if we're dumping assets into the pot, maybe there's a younger, better LW we could snag somewhere

Do any of these guys move the needle that much?

I wonder what WPG does in the off-season. The Jets have some interesting forwards, if they decide to sell off some players.

My concern with Laf is that Hynes will play him on the 4th line or sit him in the press box like he did with Tolvy.

I’ve liked Garland’s game for a while. He’s feisty enough to fit right in with this group.

Anaheim would surely give you the middle 2023 second and Henrique (with retention) for the Edmonton first.

Any interest in underrated two-way three-sided Alex Iafallo?

There’s interest from Nashville for sure, but I’m not sure it’s mutual. Plus, he’d probably cost too much to acquire.
