Thread: Laine
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>You're missing a bunch of firsts

Go check out what one of the greatest goal scoring wingers and flames of all times did between 18-21. Iginla

Now check out what Laine did.

Now appreciate how special he is</div></div>

No doubt Laine is special and very gifted offensively.

Jarome played on a way worst team during his first four years compared to Laine.

The league was also much different. If Laine played mid 90's with the clutch and grab he does not produce like he has. Put Jarome on the current Jets team and I think he would have been way more productive.

I agree I don't think the proposed package gets Laine, but I do think Hanafin is a good starting point the deal is just to light for the Jets. I think its Hanafin, a 1 rd and a solid prospect at least. Jets also need to dump some cap so there is that to consider. They have 15.6 m in space with needing to fill four forward positions, three D position and one Goalie. that makes things tight may not be Laine but someone is going. Its going to be one of the big money players. Don't forget a flat cap projection and Laine's raise after the next season. That's going it make it worse

Thread: Big change
I would say this:
You are much closer on the Qualifying offers than a lot of people. A touch high but not bad.
For the Mangiapane I think you are close Time will tell.
I think Gustafsson is way to high for what he offers. I feel you can get better value from other D men at that price.
Personally I would pass on MAF as he is getting old and I think there are younger and or cheaper options.

My question on your trades are you going for a one to two year on the fly rebuild? I think the Flames are wanting to complete now and I an not sure the proposed trades do that. Basically you are trading Johnny for Glass as Vegas needs a cap dump with MAF.

For the Monahan trade, I think its a down grade for Calgary up front losing Monahan with the proposal right now. If your looking to the future perhaps not. They do improve the back end with the current players being UFA if they don;t resign. Not sure Monahan is going anywhere right now. I think Calgary will look for a bigger body to play up front on the UFA market and Johnny is the odd man out.
