I can appreciate the opinion that the Flames wouldn't want to do it either. I think that's entirely possible.

I don't think that the Jets will be looking for a Brouwer-type player at 4.5M to provide cover for Laine to play.
Laine survived Perry's dirt at the World as a 17 year old and ended the MVP of the tournament. Gaudreau was benched in the 1st playoff game for safety reasons against the Ducks in game #1 of the playoff series.
PS Sorry for following this thread away from just taking about Trouba...... along with the last 10 or so posters.
