Hamonic is probably 3rd in their list of Dmen they would want for Laine. Hanifin makes the most sense as he is 22 and signed to a great long term contract. Andersson fits their need on the right side and while less proven he is also an intriguing piece.
I could see them wanting Hanifin+Bennett+1st and likely more.
It is tough for the Jets to move him because his potential is a generational goal scorer. Based on his current play though I don’t think the Jets get that. They need him to sign a 2 year deal and see if he either fits in or tell him to play well and they will trade him.
Carolina with Svechnikov and Pesce would be an intriguing offer.
