Chevy does have a penchant for big trades...
Thoughts on Laine, Belluz, Ceulemans, pick for McGro, Stan, Iafallo?
Then only issue with this is a lack of cap space. We can't fit Laine in as is even with 50% retention. They would have to take Iafallo.
I'm giving this a little more consideration. I might be undervaluing Iaffalo in this context. I think he may be the kind of player CBJ needs to help turn their collection of good young players into a team.
If we just look at Belluz + Ceulemans for McGro + Iaffalo I think we have an interesting framework. McGro's market value has been hurt by his demands. Belluz and Ceulemans are both interesting prospects but not expensive blue chippers. They match with Jets positions of need and really could be spared by CBJ.
So now we look at Laine. I think Jets would have to see him as a pretty high risk project and CBJ would need to want to get rid of at least most of his cap pretty badly. If Jets are willing to risk taking on 6 mil of his cap what would CBJ need as a return? Would Stan be enough? I think Jets could manage 6 mil with Iafallo gone.
Is there any need on the Jets part to add Laine to the Belluz + Ceulemans for McGro + Iaffalo deal? Or does Cbus require Laine added in order to do the deal?
Circling back to that 4 man package, does either side need to add? Which one? Who says no, and why?
