Thread: how will this team win next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>$3.7M retained over (approximately) 3 seasons is $11.1M, or more than one John Tavares. That's an extra Boone Jenner per year. Do people realize how insane that is? Columbus doesn't even entertain retaining that much, regardless of the package. We don't need to trade Laine, he's 25. If you want the player, take the whole contract. If you don't want the whole contact, don't take the player. Makes no difference to us, I don't see any universe where Toronto even enters the Laine conversation.</div></div>

Laine makes $8.7M. That's a huge amount for a 1 dimensional player whose attitude gets him healthy scratched. For the Leafs to take Laine they have to evaluate Laine's value t9 them, not what some other team is paying him. Personally at 1/2 retention I.e $4.35M he's a good deal. At full $8.7M you'd need to pay a healthy amount to dump him.
