Then you're adding Brodie?.... Yeah, no.
I think tkachuk is much more valuable

Laine is a goal scorer and that's it, hes not a 200 foot player, and hes not even a great chance creator either. He lives and dies by shooting percentage.

Tkachuk is a complete player, with leadership qualities to boot

That's not even factoring in their off ice qualities, notice the silence from tkachuk, while laine is basically calling out his team and teammates that most of them arent worthy of playing with him

Laine will probably score 50 a few more times in his career, on years with a hot power play and when his shooting % gets around 20. But hes also gonna have years where he doesnt crack 50 points
