No, you already swindled the Kings for one crappy goaltender. They're not going to take your other crappy goaltender too.

Despite what two leafs fans who think peeke is good because he's tall and they think he hits, no one is taking that awful contract for a below replacement level guy, not even for free

Wow. Every single thing you’ve done is horrible. Well done. Revenge for 2019 has been achieved.

I love the insinuation that kuraly, Peeke, Tim berni, and heavily retained Laine all have identical value. No notes!

Taking Laine's contract wouldn't be a bad gamble for CHI and could have a huge payoff if he bounces back. But even at 50%, I think CBJ would still have to pay us to take his contract off their hands.

How do you take the awful trade from the troll ACGM and make it worse? I've never been a fan of Laine as a player, but he's a steal at 4.3 mil for 2 years. Not to mention Chicago isn't even close to the cap floor for next year. This is literally a 0 risk move for Chicago with fantasy upside and you want Columbus to pay you on top of the retention?

lol. No, he isn't a steal. I was trying to be nice in my response, but if you want to go there... He's been awful and isn't even worth $4.3M, which is supported by every metric imaginable. Not to mention he is out with no indication of if and when he will be back, and he isn't really the kind of guy I would want around a young rebuilding team. So, go ahead, keep your boat anchor. We're good.

Can you please explain why a soon to be 24 year old former 6th round pick that has less than a full season of NHL experience and is playing in Switzerland is somehow worth a 3rd round pick and a 3 year deal with a $2 million AAV? Is this some sort of lame troll attempt or am I somehow missing something here?
