Very easy decline for Chicago.

Flames decline. Trading a RD(which is probably our biggest need) for a LD(which we have loads of prospects that should be getting time) it doesn't make sense. Also I will keep Andersson since he has more term left on his contract than Chychrun

There’s no way you think Norris is better than Laine lol.

Yeah Laine for 3 busted shoulders Norris makes perfect sense. Since neither player plays more than 50% of the season.

2 years of Rasmus Andersson > than 1 year of Jakob Chychrun so Ottawa adds.

I don't see Ned signing with Ottawa, His wife is a nurse in Detroit. And I can't see him being that far from her.

Norris is a bigger longterm risk than Laine, in my opinion. He's had three surgeries to the same shoulder now, all on his shooting side. Laine has had a series of one-off freak injuries, the most recent two coming as a result of dirty hits by opposing players, and mental health issues. For now, I'd rather hold onto Laine to see if he can rebound mentally than take on Norris in hopes that his career isn't simply over.

Norris has way too much term and higher risk of continually being hurt. Laine is also just a better player. The swap really only make sense for OTT. You would have to add alot to Norris to even get the conversation started. Also no reason for the Jackets to include Tex.

The cost to dump korpisalo is too high for Ottawa to even consider it.

If you remove the 3rd round pick going back to Ottawa, the Hawks may consider taking Korpisalo.

Laine makes no sense for ottawa. They need 2 way players.

Talks about Chychrun for Andersson start with a Chychrun extension.

Ottawa needs 2 way players . Laine is the opposite of that
