Bare in mind though, the Jets have team control over Liane for 5 more years. They are under no pressure to take pennies on the dollar anytime soon. Some GM out of the other 30 teams will likely step up and pay a steep price for a legitimate 50 goal threat who is only 22.

The Flames have Lindholm cost controlled for 4 more years at a bargain rate of $4.85M.
As for Laine, I believe he is a UFA in 3 years, not 5. And he will earn $6.75M this year, then will be looking for $9M.
Lindholm has quite a bit more value than Laine, straight-up.
