They already have Cole Canfield who has been a good fit with Suzuki and Slaf. I think Laine will be on the second line with Kirby Dach as his centre.
And Newhook on the other wing, all three of Hughes acquisitions. I f you look at the net cost of those trades from when Kent took over. He turned Alex Romanov, Ben Chiarot, Jordan Harris and a 3rd round pick into Dach- Newhook- Laine.
Trades
Chiarot for a 1st, 4th and spare parts.
Trades
Romanov and a 4th for a 1st
Trades that 1st and a
3rd for Dach.
Trades the Chiarot 1st and a 2nd for Newhook.
Trades Harris for Laine and a 2nd.
The 2nds and 4ths offset. net is Chiarot, Romanov, Harris and the 3rd that went to Hawks.
I wonder if Kent will go help me negotiate the purchase of a new car, Seems pretty good at this. I'm sure he can turn a 6 year old truck and an 11 yr old civic into Lambo for me.
