I wouldn’t blink at offering up Drouin + Suzuki + Juulsen - not sure Jets go for it though.
I think you would need to offer up 1-2 first rounders as well

Except he would cost assets to acquire, like I said, he would cost the farm.

I think the GMs are in full collusion mode - the pitch will be Mathews is a goal scoring C and that merits high value, wingers don’t, and be prepared to sit out the season if you don’t sign in the $9M range.I can see Marner getting more than that for sure.
Laine as well.
Point will probably take a discount because that is what Tampa does.
Yeah, who wants a one dimensional 4O GOAL SCORER? After all, they're a dime a dozen.

A 40 goal scorer who scored 30g 50p in a full 82 games last year and brought absolutely nothing else to the table. He's going to cost $9m+ and take a shitload in assets too.
Scandinavians a generally low key & maintenance thus better suited for a market like Mtl.plus this town would just destroy him
That assumes a 21-year old has stagnated on his development curve....Floaters who get paid big money tend to get shredded.

Stevie Y was nearly 30 when he changed his entire game approach after Scotty ripped him a new one.
If Laine was a Ruskie I’d say he’s cooked but he isn’t...
Why do you keep calling him a floater. I’ve seen him play a dozen games last year, not sure I noticed him floating. He was usually intense, not a defensive whiz, but not a floater either.
You watched Laine play a dozen intense games? Seriously? I've never seen him be intense in the slightest. He has a great shot.... he floats around waiting for someone to get him the puck. Being from Winnipeg, I have a lot of Jet fan friends and every single one of them hates Laine.
I don't even have a big problem with a player like that. Scoring goals is what it's all about. I just don't want to pay a player like that $9m+ and give up a bunch of good assets for it.
It's pretty damning that he had less points last year than our very own floater. Plus all the other horrible possession and defensive metrics.
