I think GMs in general seem to overvalue the Centre position.
As a Jets fan, I did not initially like the trade as we downgraded Laine to PLD and gave away Roslovic for next to nothing.
After watching PLD highlights, I am excited to see him play like that on the ice. He seems genuinely happy to be in Wpg though.
Laine, is as advertised, big elite shot but big deficiencies concerning turnover rate and losing most puck battles.
I'm happy to see Roslovic get a chance at a higher role but I don't think he can sustain this offensive production. He does seem to be a much more assertive player now than in Wpg. (almost unrecognizable) (I think he tops out at 25G 30A/year which is awesome in exchange for a 3rd)
So overall, I don't think Wpg got great value but there were some huge underlying issues. It will look bad in CLB when Laine either wants 10M per season or pulls a Roslovic and doesn't want to sign.
