Idk which is worse…giving up that entire package for Marner as a rental, or giving up that entire package so we get the privilege of paying him $13M until he’s 36.
EDIT: And knowing his production will be halved because he doesn't have Matthews or Tavares passing him the puck.

Again, you're cutting the 18 not just against injury, but against NHLPA-PAP. I'd give a bit more credit to that than just categorizing it in the same way as if it was an injury.

Young Talent That Hughes Could Target
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Andy_Dick</b></div><div>Doesn’t matter the new circumstances for CBJ. There isn’t a world where Texier gets a top40 pick with better forwards available on the market. The market dictates the price not Columbus salary structure either good or bad at any point in time. they’ll be a half dozen teams with cap problems such as CBJ at the time of the Bjorkstrand deal and why I mentioned Boeser whom the Canucks must dump if they want to resign Hronek.</div></div>
Which is why I even said this leans overpay for Tex?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Viqsi</b></div><div>This is inherently self-contradictory, because Columbus's salary structure dictates a significant portion of how the market responds w/r/t Columbus assets.

Exactly. Thinking otherwise is a very linear way of viewing the trade market.
"Bjorkstrand was worth a 3rd and 4th in 2022" should very much not be viewed as a baseline for measuring a player's value in 2024/25.
It's the exact same reason at damn-near every trade deadline some team overpays for a B6 F/B4.
I mean (and not a 1-to-1 comparison per se), would any of us really say that <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/814626">Bjorkstrand's value is near Andrew Peeke's?</a>

Laine is a .80ppg guy on a bad CBJ team, and has been a victim of bad hits, fluky injuries, and (oh yeah!) NHLPA assistance. Put him on BUF's offense, and he'd light **** up.
That being said, CBJ would love this, but I'd have a hell of a team convicning BUF this was the right move for them right now.

CBJ hard pass on that Laine trade. No need to move him now, so no need to sell low.

Yeah, this trade is...lets say optimistic.
FWIW, my hope is whoever the new GM is would be willing to trade him with retention. Definitely doesn't pull in a 1st+ like this, but hopefully could do something.

Works for CBJ.<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Andy_Dick</b></div><div>Hell, Bjorkstrand went for less and he's a much better player than Texier. The cap exists and the market dictates the price.</div></div>
He is! Difference is, that trade was made with CBJ under cap duress, and Texier is (being generous) going to make 1/4 as much as Bjorkstrand. CBJ *needed* to make a move and probably made the wrong one, since they were also betting that a younger Texier would have a higher ceiling.
This probably leans slight overpay for Tex, but I'd just be cautious about making a comparison to the Bjorky trade, given the cirumstances.

huge change
I’d rather not deal with Norris’ term;
Pass on all those UFA signings, except maybe Grizz;
Accept DAL trade, though Dellandrea (and Nylander) are only getting QOs;
I’d take that Elvis trade. Hell, I’d retain half if it could get us a real asset, even if it’s just a mid-rounder or two;
Doesn’t feel like the Laine trade moves the needle. No real need to move him, so I got no problem waiting for a rebound and getting the right package;
Unless we are getting an asset for taking on cap (retention, taking on bad cap, etc.), this team shouldn’t be near capped-out considering where it is.

Draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Montreal1st</b></div><div>Oh, so you can agree that Laine is extremely over-paid, useless outside of PP time and even though big, he has a FRACTION of Anderson's hits. Actual money owed at this point is less for Anderson, Anderson is a power forward and not a "scorer". Few teams have the cap to roll the dice on Laine at this point. I could care less if Montreal gets Laine, it is a huge gamble to get a guy paid 9 million and can only get 15 minutes of ice time in Columbus</div></div>
For someone who could care less, you seem to be very invested on the dunking ratio from everyone posting here.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Anderson vs. Laine isn't even the crux of the argument. Jiricek has 1st-pair potential, and is the only RD in the system like that. If that pick is 6OA, the only RD with similar potential in this draft (Levshunov) is already gone. Honestly I don't think Columbus could trade him for 6OA straight up.
So the rest is Barron and Harris to dump Anderson. Anderson isn't waiving his NTC to go back to Columbus, which given how he left, is definitely one of his 5-8 teams depending on when the trade is proposed. Barron and Harris isn't enough to dump him, they're redundant and not an improvement on the plethora of D we already have.
And then you want us to add Laine, who aside from this year where he was taken out by headhunting and a slewfoot, has been near ppg for Columbus and is a previous 40-goal scorer. On a team with no cap crunch, no desire to move him, and a severe lack of star players.
I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but come on...this isn't it.</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SydBarrett</b></div><div>😂😂😂😂 man this is so funny. I forgot goals don’t win games . Hits do. My bad I must have been thinking of a different sport .
If you think Laine is so terrible and Anderson is so good then why the hell did you put them in the trade</div></div>
Seriously. I’m certain there are a ton of teams that would love to trade for $16.5M worth of hits over the next three years.
CBJ just aren’t one of them.

I get it - the '24 1st (particularly if unprotected) is pretty nice. But Jiricek isn't being moved, and I'm not really here to just buy-out Andy who, again, isn't waiving that NTC.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Montreal1st</b></div><div>What?? He is getting less $$ than Laine even with an extra year.</div></div>
And also much less production. Say what you want about Laine, he's a .80ppg surrounded by rookies on a rebuilding CBJ team who has been knocked around by fluke injuries and dirty hits.

No, no...you're going to have to pay to dump Anderson (who is certain to have CBJ on his NTC), then pay for Laine, then pay for Jiricek, two players who aren't even available.
There needs to be a lot more quality going to CBJ in this.

Yeah, I imagine Eller is in there for cap-balance; but, you're still talking a B6 F, which CBJ are already flush with, and doesn't add anything for CBJ. We'd probably just buy him out.
I know nothing about those prospects; but, I do know PIT's system is considered pretty weak, so can't say that really is a needle-mover.
The first is the get here, particularly if we are betting on PIT's decline to continue, and that '26 pick being top-half of the draft (or the '27 one being even higher). It's a better asset the more I think about it, but it's all based around a gamble.
