That’s just volume, which isn’t a bad way to go about it when futures are involved but if the Flames are targeting a “now” player that is young, Laf would be the pinnacle and in my eyes worth a good deal more than the quantity-focused return that San Jose received.

…I also just don’t see NYR being short sighted enough to make Laf available.
I don’t think they have any choice, due to cap issues.

Lefreniere needs a raise, so does Kakko I believe. Plus Miller needs a big one. They don’t want to trade Kakko.

So I think Lefreniere is available. I don’t think his value is as high as you think, but that ‘s just a difference of opinion.
