Exactly. By making that offer sheet, Bergevin clearly stated to other GM's he is willing to pay the compensation. So another GM in a cap bind could just as well call up Bergevin and make a trade.

it be a smart IF Laine is indeed to be traded and MTL works a deal...give him 10.5 x 7 yrs ...get it over with,lock him long term...NO 4 -5 YR DEAL ETC..
Jets got 21 million free cap after letting all those guys walk...
Kyle Conner? gotta be 8-9 million long term ....
Laine? gotta be 10m+....
Jets still in cap trouble...with no D...
Interesting time in the PEG

I prefer Connor to Laine. More complete player who is also capable of 40 goals.
We’re not Getting Laine or Connor. Make any offer you want. Never happening

I was looking at Detroit's roster, not only do they have an aging Defense but also they've got some mileage between the pipes.
Mantha is still RFA next season. Detroit has a plethora of UFA D's and RFA F's to sign with - currently - only 5M in the bank.
How about:
Drouin + Juulsen + Alzner (50%) + Lindgren
for
Mantha + [ need to add because as-is clear overpayment ]

Drouin, Lindgren and a 2nd is the new Ryder, Halak and a 2nd.
Everything old is new again.

I'm just not a stoked Laine fan. I'd take him on my team but he is a complementary player and not a win-driver in my opinion. Marner is way ahead of him in my books.

Those who think Domi as C is expendable should look to trade him instead of Drouin, because the club will get a much bigger return from teams that will fight each other to take Montreal's unneeded star off its hands.
Any guy who scores 15-20 goals a yr on the PP is not a win driver?
Just trying to imagine....If we had Laine last year and he scored 15-20 pp goals on the powerplay...would we made the playoffs...hmmm
Laine got lots of guys around him with Jets....if he is the "main guy" as he would be in Mtl..be a different story.
In Montreal it would be Laine's team...he'd be our Crosby..he'd be our McDavid..etc

Personally my first choice as a RFA was AHO (considering the price to pay), then I would target Tkachuk before Laine. If we want to build around speed and grit he would provide all of that and scoring.
Aho is gonbe ?9but not fogotten..lol)
Tkachuk....i really do like ...welcome him on my team anyday....BUT,,this kid is goona be a 50 goal man ...i can't pass that...

Domi is not going anywhere. He's a productive player at a premium position and fan favorite. Fans wouldn't forgive the move even if it's not something a lot of posters look at when they're concocting fake trades. He's got to stay for the long haul. We've got ourselves a keeper.

Domi is built for Montreal... he must stay
If you got this core locked long term(7 yr deals)
Domi KK and Laine.....you're set...
McDavid 287 games 128 goals
Laine 237 games 110 goals
Don't get me wrong. I don't want our best center in a decade or more traded on the outside, nor traded on the inside into another small winger, like we didn't have enough of them.
Definetly not. And i don't why people are including Lindgren in packages as if he adds value. The guy will be paid 750k per year for the next two years in the Ahl and he isn't even strarter material there. Terrible contract.
From what I heard, he was injured last year. The year before, he was driving the team.
Jeezus.
Yes, Laine is a strong PP threat. Now for the rest of the truth.
Laine had 15 even strength goals in 82 games.
Andrew Shaw had 16 even strength goals in 63 games.
Laine was a friggin' MINUS-24 on a good team!!!
He's moody and apparently greedy, and coming off his worst season. He had a total of 9 goals in 58 games after November 29th, and was a DETRIMENT to the team as they went down the stretch to try to win the division. After February 28th, he had 1 goal in 19 games, and zero at ES. He had a far worse stretch from December onwards than Jonathan Drouin, whom everyone is dumping on here.
Please do not mention him in the same sentence as McDavid.

Laine had an absolute train wreck of a season and managed to score 30. Fortnite gossips aside, there were reports that he played with a back injury.
I'm not saying that Bergevin should sell the farm for him (although I imagine his price is very high) but I feel like a lot are downplaying Laine. He's only 21 and will way more than likely bounce back.
Also he's been good in his 2 playoffs appeareances so far, as well as in the Liiga playoffs. I wouldn't question his competitiveness when it truly counts.
