Disagree. 2nd+3rd for $2.175M in cap space they are not going to use is pretty incentivizing. Anaheim has over $20M in cap for this year. Over $40M next offseason.
I think it’s a waste of draft picks for Minnesota. We could fit $4.35M under our cap by other means.
It's really how you feel about Laine as a player, as to whether it's good or not for MN.
If Laine stays healthy'ish, I could see him being a good fit on a 2nd line together with Zucc and Rossi, or Zucc and JEE. Zucc is a pass first player who might be a good fit for a shooter like Laine. Getting Laine would allow MN to keep Boldy and Kaprizov together, which is a pretty elite duo.
Has to be weighed against losing a future 1st(ugh), and a late'ish 1st(Lambos). If Laine has a resurgence, as a near P/PG, then a good deal, even though he is a limited player. If he is on a downward slide, then an L for MN.
