they have that in spades now.
these package deals don't work because often, teams have limited spots available anyways. And some GMs actually believe in the philosophy that the team that gets the best player wins that trade.
If Laine is good enough to command a king's ransom, why would Winnipeg make that trade when their prospect base is better than ours? your "shiny new" toy can be applied to Calgary's management as much as Winnipeg's based on the offer being suggested.

Not talking about Winnipeg this time, That's a different beast.
They were talking about the CBJ and the 3rd pick.
