I feel like Winnipeg don't know what they want with Laine. Do they want a PF ? Sniper ? 2 way f ?

Just deal him at this point and let him play his true role, sniper.

For 2 years now, I've wanted to see Laine on the Isles beside Barzal.

I don't think Lou would want to pay the price (Dobson) though.

The issue is that most teams would want those players, few has the pieces it takes to acquire them and fewer have the pieces and want to trade them. Like with most elite players you are likely looking at quantity for quality, not sure this will be of interest for WPG. Not sure WPG will be interested in picks and prospects.

I think it would end up being something like Pulock, Wahlstrom, and maybe another smaller add. I think something with cap and value(Pulock) would have to be going back, especially if Laine is looking for a big raise.

The issue here is that so few teams, if any at all, have the depth necessary to trade a 2nd line center or a top pairing defenseman for a winger. Nothing will end up happening, imo.

That's true, I often forget NYI will be up against the cap. They may need to shed another salary too.
