We give a first and take KK? Where do we sign?!Laine and a protected 1st for Necas and Kotekneimi? I feel like Columbus declines but maybe not.

Definitely but at least the thread affords us a place to discuss Laine and his value coming out of the PAP, which is otherwise being ignored.I think we are wanting to read too much into this
Jarvis??What about Jarvis to Columbus?
All I read in the OP was they were talking trade.
Steve McCarthy, 50% retained AND Jared Boll.Jarvis??
What on Earth would be offered to entice Carolina to give up a 22 year old 30 goal scorer who wants to stay in Carolina?

KK for Laine ?
2 yrs for 4 yrs
Not sure if the math works
We live in a post-truth world baby. Looks like 4 to me!2 doesn't equal 4 in math
That’s the spirit of the Trades Board in a nutshell really. Always cracks me up how bad other fan bases want players they frame that way.Feels like most Laine topics where one team is like “let me give you my trash for your productive player that I will frame as worthless”
Not for me.CBJ fans - is there any incentive whatsoever for you guys to add KK under ANY circumstance? I’m struggling to find reason in this. I can’t find any. I guess if they did add a Necas, which I also don’t see happening.

Can the Canes fit Laine in under the cap without sending contracts back or retention by CBJ?As a neutral fan. I'd love to see Aho revive Laine's career.
No. We have somewhere between $7.5-8.5m in space left (just depending on sending 1 or 2 players down on waivers) but we need to sign RFA Jarvis and he’s basically going to take up somewhere between $6-8m depending on length of dealCan the Canes fit Laine in under the cap without sending contracts back or retention by CBJ?
he needs a fresh start somewhere else, and so too do the Jackets.

Where is there evidence that this is CAR and CBJ related? Crazy how the OP can make a guess with CBJ and everyone is going wild over it lmao
You can keep that if the Canes send you Necas or a top 4 Laine would be an add on and not the prime piece.I’d rather force Laine to play in Columbus than trade for KK. It better be Necas or a top 4 d man, don’t want no more picks or prospects
Well Laine has been underachieving for a few years, is fresh out of player assistance, and has a very ugly contract. So he does have little value. Certainly not in the same ballpark as Necas or Jarvis who are still getting better every year and don't have that bad contract or players assistance baggage hanging over them.CBJ fans - is there any incentive whatsoever for you guys to add KK under ANY circumstance?

Is he related to Jesperi? Brother, cousin?I’m not saying Columbus should acquire Kasperi Kotkaniemi but here is a little thought.
At 50% retained, his contract is good value for a fourth line centre. If he stinks up the joint, a buyout would cost just 425k per year.
Even at his current trajectory Columbus could trade him after two seasons with 50% retention leaving him available at just above league minimum with a 200k buyout penalty. That is absolutely doable for any contender needing a fourth line centre.
I don’t want to make a trade that involves acquiring him but the idea that he is untradeable doesn’t chime with me.
