I think a trade could become a possibility if he continues to hold out, which looks like he will do. Now I wouldn't go by anything the main board says for his value, but wouldn't really know what would be the asking price for him. He is a 55 point player and only 22. He holds a good amount of value but with the holdout you think it would be deminished some. Also we would need to make sure we can fit him under the cap with his contract demands. I know we all like our shiny new toy in Scott Laughton, but if he was the center piece going back to Colorado for him you have to make that deal. Of course Colorado fans will say schenn or couts like everyone else does these days, but they won't get them
Edit: also does he fit into our plans going forward. We know we need to get a big time defender at some point, would ror contract hurt us in doing so.
