That said, I can't help feeling that Laine is such a long shot to come back as an effective player, he's probably not worth taking on as a project.
He's making $18.2 million in actual cash over the next two years, and what are you getting for that? Maybe a 1st-round pick if he recovers fully and you retain half. Just as likely you get nothing.
That's assuming he would even waive to come here, which I think is a fairly large assumption.
