With Patrick Laine requesting a trade or of Columbus, wondering if there will make be any appetite for a Nurse / Laine swap. Cap hit is almost identical, the main difference being 2 years left on Laine's contract vs. 6 for Nurse. Columbus could flip Provorov for help up front. Change of scenery might be good for Nurse. His spot filled by Broberg. Columbus has lots of good young pieces and adding Nurse would give them veteran leadership.Could be a win-win, most likely a pipe dream. Thoughts?

Pipe dream. Columbus could simply buy out Laine if they had no bites. They are likely actively shopping him right now and a healthy Nurse is a hard sale, but with potentially a re-injured hip, a buyout proof contract and a NMC …. the math don’t math.
LTIR and a trip to Robidas island is the greatest hope.

One ray of hope though! Ken Holland is rumored to potentially be the next Columbus GM, and we all know you definitely could not get a player for free. Nurse + Campbell for Laine (2M retained) + 2nd. The very definition of not free. I mean, the exact same guy that gave Nurse elite #1D money must really want him right?
