Help! Laine + player for Galchenyuk and my 5th overall pick?
I might have the opportunity to trade up from 5th overall to 2nd overall. The GM with the 1st overall pick has already said she will take Auston Matthews so I'm confident I could land Laine with the 2nd overall pick.
Basically it would be my Galchenyuk (or Voracek) and 5th overall pick for his Laine and a player yet to be suggested.
His players that I think he would consider are: Ryan O'Reilly, Rick Nash, Nazem Kadri, Loui Eriksson
His players that I would like are: Dylan Larkin, David Pastrnak and William Nylander
At this point he's getting more and more excited about Laine, so I want to tempt him without overpaying. I'm thinking something like Voracek and 5th overall pick for 2nd overall pick (Laine) and Kadri?
Also, last bit of context is that last year I traded him Jonathan Quick + 9th overall pick (he got Pastrnak) for Connor McDavid, which I think was a bit of a steal in terms of our league's value of players (especially beyond the next 2-3 years when Quick starts fading some more).
