(CBJ Retains $2.75mil per season on the last two seasons of Laine’s contract)

Columbus acquires: LD/RD Samuel Girard, RW Oscar Olausson and a conditional 2rd round pick in 2026 (COL)
(Girard waives 9 team no trade list for Columbus)
(
Condition: Laine has to play 41 games in each season for the 2nd round pick to convey to the Blue Jackets).
Colorado gets: More depth at forward with accurate scoring winger in Laine and rights to (RFA) 2-way center Sillinger.
Columbus gets: Veteran puck moving defender that can play LD or RD in Girard and 2-way shooting winger Olausson.
Both teams assume risk in this deal as Colorado would be banking on Laine to return to his old form after dealing with injuries and personal issues and Columbus would be taking on an extra year of Girard’s contract with the confidence that he could hold down a 2nd pairing spot on the Jackets blueline if Provorov is moved before the deadline.
