I wouldn’t trade Lindholm for Laine. Monahan I would. Johnny I definitely would. I like Johnny and all, but Laine’s potential to be Kovalchukesque is real. He is younger and controlled. If we don’t like his contract demands in a year, you can trade him for a lot. Johnny can walk. Other than attitude, which I hope being traded helps humble Laine a bit, both are 1 dimensional, except if you were to be 1-dimensional, it’s nice to be the 1 dimension that matters most - scoring. Laine is also big. He won’t be bullied once he starts to actually work out. The potential is there!
