Re: Stone vs. Laine
Would Laine be a keeper for him? I always ask this when trading a player like Laine in a limited keeper. Obviously right now Stone is a far more valuable asset. If you send him Laine what are the chances he’s available again in the draft? That will depend on Laine but also on the other GM’s roster. Seems likely Laine does not go off this year or perhaps ever while in Columbus. I’d feel safe trading him knowing he will then be available again if you really like the player. If you really like Laine and are comfortably in 1st you could just sit to tight. But then you’re throwing Laine back into the draft yourself. I’d probably take the higher value asset in Stone and see what happens. He may well represent a true keeper upgrade for a fellow GM later in the season that you can turn into a draft pick upgrade or possible keeper upgrade for you at another position. I’d probably take this trade.
