Pile of garbage for good players. Classic Montreal trade. This must be an upgraded version of the Ryder, Halak and a 2nd trade.
Blue Jackets interested in getting younger with more futures? Or is this trade idea not something you are interested in?

Torts offers a cautionary tale. I was a big fan of Laine as a goal scorer but this year he is showing what a liability he is when the team does not have the puck.I just think Laine is a bad fit for Torts. I’d offer a lot for him to be honest.

The guy did not like it when Maurice did not play him with Scheifele, he does not like it with Torts, he does not want to play defense, not the best advertising right now.
That wasn't an exaggeration, that was a flat out statement.
Suzuki, Romanov, Caufield, 16th overall pick from last year big 2 way LH dman played in OHL/Team Canada at world juniors forget his name and 1st 2021 for laine 50% retained, Nick Foligno 50% retained, David Savard 50% retained and Werenski ( if the jackets have already retained on someone this wouldn’t work. )
Laine is already being retained on. They wouldn’t be able to retain another 50%Blue Jackets interested in getting younger with more futures? Or is this trade idea not something you are interested in?

That doesn't get you Zach Werenski let alone Laine at 50% retention, And tell me how Montreal with a flat cap for the foreseeable future can afford to give both Laine and Werenski $18+ million combined long term?Blue Jackets interested in getting younger with more futures?

No from Columbus as well, Not getting both Laine and Werenski without Suzuki being part of it.No from Montreal.

if laine's trade value is declining, so is the value of his next contract. no need to pay him 8m/yr, if the return in a trade is below a 1st, 2nd and 3rd.There is no way to spin it. Laine's trade value is less now than it was when the Jets traded him. His next contract is scary and the Blue Jackets know it but some fans on HF boards won't admit it.
I like your idea.
She describes the exchange at 75%.
This is a good result. I understand why you suggested this. There are pluses for both teams here.
I will express my opinion. Of course, I could be wrong.
You write:
“Not sure what other Habs fans say about Suzuki vs KK but I'd consider it. I have them close but they bring different things to the table as centers. "
Then I will include Suzuki in the exchange.
Not sure if CBJs are needed: Armia, 2021 3rd, and prospect B (C).
Remember: Savard (@ 50% Ret) and Foligno (@ 50% Ret).
CBJ
- Suzuki
- Romanov
- 2021 1st
- Guhle (Caufield)
MTL
- Laine (@ 50% Ret) (RFA 2021)
- Werenski (RFA 2022)
CBJ is willing to take Armia for free if MTL wants it.
This is a deal template. CBJ might add.
If in exchange Kotkaniemi - Montreal adds.
Good luck.

You're literally trying to poach two of the youngest players we have - at 22 and 23, the only guys on the roster who're younger are Texier and Bemstrom - and trying to spin it as "move to more youth"?It's workable if the Blue Jackets decide to move to more youth

Holy f***, hon. Quit while you're ahead.
KK has more Value than Laine. So there's that.Pile of garbage for good players. Classic Montreal trade. This must be an upgraded version of the Ryder, Halak and a 2nd trade.
You want controllable top tier assets you gotta give up top tier players.
Guess thats a bit of a problem for Montreal though.
