<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Something along those lines could work with some more tweaking, maybe putting a higher tier in as well where there would be a greater return past the first of he plays 110+ games or something as well. But if he's playing 1/3 of the games through the rest of his contract he's pretty underwater as far as contract to team value goes.



There's a lot more reasons and potential benefit to moving on than just the return, and frankly, I was generous in the return by only requiring Laine to play half of the games left on his contract to get a first. Good, bad, or indifferent, his value has nose dives in CBJ, and either he or management may be looking to cut ties with the fact that he listed his Condo today.</div></div>

Well I can tell you the jackets would not be interested in your proposal. He’s also moving in with his girlfriend so that’s nothing

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Unavailable is unavailable, not saying some of his absences weren't worthy of taking, but the overall amount of man games missed is staggering. Yeah, he could be worth more if he can manage to play a season with 75% + attendance AND perform up to his abilities. Or he could have another 50 game or less season, at which point you would potentially have to pay to unload his contract in order to move him, or buy him out. His overall value has been trending down for years, i don't think he's turning it around in Columbus with all the upheaval.

And that's not begging to discuss whether the new GM wants him there or not, and whether he wants to be there under the new coach/GM as they go through a regime change.</div></div>

Jackets don’t need to pay to get rid of his contract. They could simply let him expire. Strome is at best neutral value to the jackets so at best they are getting a not top 10 pick 2 years from now. There’s not much upside there for the jackets. I will also note the time he missed this year was from a 4 game suspension worthy dirty elbow and a slew foot. Both injuries could’ve easily happened to anyone. I think the jackets could take a 2026 first top 10 protected without conditions or strome. Otherwise it’s not close to worth it for the jackets

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>His health is too large of a concern not to have those protections in place for the weight of his contract. By the time this season is over he will have averaged in the low 40s each season for the last 4 seasons. You're going to have very little interest for teams.to acquire a nearly 9 million cap hit who misses half the season. The risk is you hang onto him and he continues to drop in value, at a certain point he's no longer a bounce back candidate, he's a sunk cost.</div></div>

I mean you are protecting for his downsides so it’s basically a no risk trade for the ducks. If he meets the conditions for a first then he will be easily worth the first. You are also including the shortened Covid year, him missing time from the death of his father, and the player assistance program in your calculations. Not all the missed games are injury related (although he is injury prone). Jackets are better off hoping he bounces back and getting better value for him either next offseason or the deadline before he expires. He’s been almost a PPG when healthy with the jackets and is still young. Not worth giving him up for a player/cap hit the jackets don’t need and a mid-late first 2-3 years from now best case scenario. If he stays on the jackets and meets your conditions then he will be worth a lot more than that 1-1.5 years from now
