If Bernier plays 60 games next year the Leafs will be bottom 5 team. And I don't have a problem with that. Tank for another year. Offer sheet McJesus in summer of 2019 with 10 mill per year. Rebuild done.

Spatso credits Laine with the assists on Matthews SO goal

Spatso thinks drafting Matthews is like losing a wallet.

i think the Laine value meter for people is on the insane side currently
- senstroll

The way I looked at was, the 2 2nds going in each direction are a wash, B prospect for a late 1st is a wash. It can be tough to find a B prospect in the late first.

Then you're left with Kap, JVR, and Gardiner for Laine. I wouldn't do that from a quality perspective and definitely not from a contract standpoint.

No way Jets do that trade.
Put it this way - in order to get it done, it would have to be painful. Losing Gards, JVR and the pics would suck but not painful.

Think more along the lines of losing Rielly or Nylander or Marner + something else of significance + picks......that's painful.

That's why there will be no trade.

JVR alone is the equivalent value of a high 1st.
he is a known asset.

Laine is the current magic box everyone has a boner over currently ..he is Ovechkin and Selanne in 1

He's Kovalchuk without the speed. Ovie without the physicality or speed. Did I mention his skating is only ok?

Yeah, I would agree that JVR is the value of a relatively high first rounder, but I wouldn't do it.

To say Laine is not proven (I'm inferring this, not your words) is somewhat untrue. Unproven in the NHL, but he's done very well in an professional league. I guess we'll find out in a couple years

Why, do you think the Leafs will be bottom of the barrel again?

What if they signed Stammer. That pick becomes immediately less valuable.

- RickJames77

I think the pick will be ~9.
