Speculation: Frank Servalli says Laine/Ehlers could be trade bait for Winnipeg

[A Loyal Dog]

I wish there was a way for the Habs to get Laine. He’s exactly the missing piece on our team.

I’m glad.

Same. No reason to trade him but for a massive overpay.

There is a potential trade with the Habs, but it could be at too high a cost and too many small steps back.

Domi and our first. Fine.

Domi, our first and Chiarot. Leaves a big hole on defense.

Domi and Romanov? No. I think that's another Sergachev disaster.

So there is something that can be done....but not at any cost.

Chevy better not trade Laine (barring a large overpay).
He's the kind of guy to become a superstar the second you turn your back.

TBH I'd add a 6th or something from the Jets just to not get Chiarot back.

Which is why I’m glad the Canes don’t think there is a fit. A) he’ll cost too much to acquire b) he’ll cost too much to keep, messing up Carolina’s long term salary structure.

I'm not sure why the hate. For us, he's a serviceable and tough top 6. Note...top 6. He's playing on the top 2 because we don't have better. But he's can still play top 6 on any team.

I agree.

My comment was partially tongue-in-cheek because he's an alright player, but at the same time he's not what we need.

This is the winner if you are trading to actually get Winnipeg to accept your offer.

I would say yes.

As a habs fan I'd like to have an extension in place for laine just like the jets would for domi . Laine is going into the last year of his deal so he can be extended right now to could he not .

 

[glenbuis]

Domi + (16th or Caufield) + Mete + St Louis 2nd

Sign Laine to 7 x 10

We can't do ten years 8 is the max

This is my attempt at humour
