EDM says no. Any interest in Texier would be for the purpose of replacing Foegele, which the team can only really afford to do if they move on from Kulak which would subsequently eliminate any interest they'd have in trading Broberg.

Still will never not be incredible to me that Laine isn't an automatic 40-50 goal scorer every season

There is no chance Detroit does that lol. Debrincat might be struggling to score right now, but atleast he's available every single game.

Detroit declines.

I remember before the 2016 NHL draft when some Leafs fans wanted Laine over Matthews. 🤣

Hasn't been the same since being bullied out of Winnipeg.

Doesn't help that he just can't stay healthy. His entire Columbus career has been one freak injury after another.

Stevie Yzerman wouldn't be adding a third in a DeBrincat - Laine swap, Columbus would be adding a first.

Super unfortunate forreal, he's still young though so hopefully he can get some luck on his side going forward.

Detroit passes big time.

At least DeBrincat always is healthy unlike Laine who misses 50% of the season in most years.

Retain 2.4m on elvis and we can talk. Bluejackets will want more tho cuz they are in the same division plus, elvis is like #5 on the devils' goalie list cuz you have Markstorm,Ullmark,Saros,Gibson then Elvis. Hell even Stolarz or Brissott could be in play for the offseason but its fitzy he is clueless. His do nothing in the offseason this season was fireable material

He still misses too much to have any value. And that's more than honest. but all teams go through that.

His metrics and overall points pace have increased since he got to Columbus. Plus he's a little more well-rounded. That's, of course, when he's in the lineup...

Like, he's still the player he was in Winnipeg, if not better. It's crazy what frequent injuries can do to your perception as a player.
