Does Laine have any value at this point? 8.7 million for two more years and hasn't had a healthy year for a while plus other issues. The few teams that have space are bottom feeders, why would Laine have any more success in that kind of environment.
He needs to go to an established team with good leadership to get his career back on track. Even if CBJ retains, I don't see them getting anything substantial back in a trade.
