Re: laine value
I'm a Laine owner who recently traded for him. This is what I paid for him in a 16 team Dynasty league this past January:
Rantanen, Fiala, Pulock, 1st rounder (15th overall) for Laine and Shesterkin (I have no farm goalies besides Gillies).
3C, 6W, 1F, 4D, 1G daily H2H (points); G (5) A (3), STP (+2), +/- (1), SOG (0.3), Hits (0.2)
I am a huge Jets fan (born & raised in the Peg) so I was willing to overpay (I felt it was anyway) and did so willingly, as I have a pretty deep team (and it's not a money league so what the hey).
It would take a lot more than what I paid (obviously) to pry him out of me, I doubt you could even with McDavid (heart over head in this case).
Would be curious to hear people's thoughts on what I paid - I never posted it anywhere, just decided I would throw a big offer at him and just get Laine. That was his counter on my first out-of-the-blue offer, the only change being he subbed Pulock for Kapanen. I hit accept immediately - like lightning quick .
