From the Flames' perspective, the trade makes WPG harder to play against, in the sense that their centre depth is now better. But easier to play against in the sense that they will be less dangerous offensively.

Also, Laine was always a bit of a Flame killer, and it was his presence that made their PP dangerous, IMO.

I won't miss having Laine out there against us. And I think that for this year, WPG is weaker (though long term, I think it is a good trade for them).
