No. Too much ego, expensive in trade cost, and too much of a problem. Much easier to go after other trade targets or ufa like Marchessault. I would think Bylsma would rather have the young prospect players he knows working into the lineup over moving them out for a real streaky offense only player with problems.

Interesting is the word they've talked moving Tirbo which would be a huge move out of a fan favorite. That said his bang crash style is taking a toll injury wise and he is prone to bad penalties.

Actually I think Konecny would be a nice fit in Seattle, it would probably cost more than Laine, but you get more consistency and less baggage.

Doubt Laine would cost much at all in acquisition cost. Especially if SEA takes the full cap hit.

Agreed, I stated a 4th round Pick and a 6th could get it done! I feel like a team with space should take a flyer, he could reinvent himself and flourish, he has the size and skill to be very successful.

I know Laine doesn't have much value, but that seems to be lowballing. Obviously that involves taking all the cap hit, but I still think Columbus wants to get something out of it, maybe a mid pick and a B/C prospect.

Unless it’s Mr. Future Considerations, or some kind of salary dump no thanks. I wouldn’t send any draft picks, or players on deals that expire at the end of the 24/25 season, they’ll be worth way more at the next deadline.

He’d be a good fit in Toronto, especially after they dump those bums Tavares and Marner.

Bears even things up once again. 3-2 final.

Plus note Wright and Evans with goals and Studenick a pair of assists.

Bears take a 3-2 series lead with a win by the sane score. Firebirds got goals from Lind and Winterton.

Laine’s cap hit & flakey attitude makes him cheaper than before.

Worth taking a flyer on if can grind out a cheap offer. Change of scenery & losing in CBJ could reinvent him in Seattle. Injuries & missed games oughta be considered & keep the price down.

Season done. Hershey again beats Coachella for the Calder 5-4 in OT. Ouch.

Winterton with a pair, Studenic, and Cale Fleury scored but back to back bridesmaids
