This article lists us as the 3rd best option for a team to acquire the winger, which IMO would bring a very intriguing scorer into the lineup, but the trade to get him would be… not ideal. I don’t believe we’re in a position that can realistically acquire Laine, but what do y’all think?

He hasn’t been a goal scorer for a few years now, just flashes of it. He has an 8 mil cap hit. The only way it would be even remotely worth it is if we give up nothing and get him at 25% retained. It’s just not gonna happen. Hes not leaving Colombus. No one is taking that contract
Doesn’t fit our current situation at an $8mil aav. A few players going back to Colombus doesn’t solve things, but makes our depth situation much worse. Pass
I haven’t followed closely since Laine played for Winnipeg, but I don’t remember him being the most defensive oriented forward.
