So if that's what Liane is what does that make Ghost, who has been far more streaky and spent far more time being invisible?

Honestly I think it's a pretty fair hypothetical move.

That makes Ghost a defenseman and Laine a streaky winger.

Dude, Winnipeg would take this deal in a New York second, and Fletcher should be fired.

Its bad enough giving up a d-man and a good winger, but throwing in a first round pick is just insanity. Especially for no real net gain in goals scored as I would bet Ghost and Konecny together equal or surpass what Laine scores.

Fair enough. I think you're overvaluing our assets a bit and undervaluing Liane a bit tbh tho. Liane has hit 30 goals every year so far, even in a "down" year. If he gets moved don't be surprised when Winnipeg gets a haul for him.

I imagine they would get a good haul. I would want a guarantee he signs first, and know what his cap hit would be.

I just think Ghost, a top 6 wing AND a 1st is way too much.

Don't even need to bring Gardiner into the equation. I'd trade that package straight up for Liane (assuming the 1st is lotto protected).

Drastic over payment.

He's not doing either. You have a history of proposing bad trades. Recently suggestions to acquire Puljujarvi and now Laine.
