Confirmed Trade: [CBJ/WPG] P-L Dubois and '22 3rd for P. Laine (26% retained) and J. Roslovic [PART II] (MOD WARNING)

[JT Kreider]

I feel like neither player is going to enjoy the change of scenery they were after lmao

This is about the biggest lose lose lose lose trade I've ever seen

 

[frederixx]

Let's be realistic here. I hate torts with a passion and think he should be gone but Laine will get every opportunity to look good. It's either that or he's gone (torts). If it doesn't work out and Jarmo doesn't fire torts, he'll get canned for sure.

At this point Columbus has to win with Laine or big changes are coming. But honestly I don't see them making any noise with that lineup. They badly need a quality center and for Atkinson to get back to the player he was a few years ago

 

[Ciao]

Roslovic was born and raised in Columbus.

Dubois' father, Eric, is an assist coach with the Manitoba Moose.

Nice landing spots for those two players.

Maybe Laine and his new GM can talk turkey in Finnish and come up with a new deal.

Huge loss for the Jets, but you have to give to get, and if PLD can repeat his playoff performance against the Leafs they will be fine.

Garbage return for the best sniper under 24

Auston Matthews is 23.

 

[Murky]

Laine will be an absolute demolisher in CBJ.

Massive loss for Jets, in value.

 

[kyne]

Columbus totally hosed Winnipeg. That said, I don't see either Laine or Dubois staying where they are for more than year of two, if that.

Dubois is two years away from going where he wants (likely Montreal, imo) and he gets away from Torts. I can't imagine a flaky player like Laine doing well with Torts long term so Jarmo will score flipping him at some point to a team willing to overpay like Winnipeg did for Dubois.

Prediction:
Columbus trades Elvis merzlikins for Jesse puljujarvi. They end up with laine and pulju

I get you. I just think it’s a big Win for CBJ and for Dubois and a Loss for WPG and Laine

 

[Fisticuffer]

Very good deal for Columbus.
It will be tough to replace Dubois In the middle but you can’t turn down a deal like that for a guy that has no interest in sticking around.

 

[Accelleratii]

Lololol! Both hate their markets. This trade is hilarious.

 

[chethejet]

Getting a 22 year old promising center man is a win if his head is on straight. Jets really didn't want to extend Laine to a big contract with his only offense game. If Dubois turns out to be good as promised, then Jets will have the best center play in the NHL.

 

[Saitama]

I hate this trade so much.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

I will eat my words here. Columbus got the haul their fans wanted. Good on Jarmo

 

[Accelleratii]

Lololol! Both hate their markets. This trade is hilarious.

So pretty much both teams really would have just been better off keeping their original players and doing whatever it took to make it work.

Jarmo made a massive mistake playing hardball with Dubois on his contract.

 

[CrosbyMalkin]

Winnipeg did better then people will say. Their 1-2-3 punch down the middle is going to be hard to line up against.

I agree, Jets got better and Jackets got worse with this trade. Jets now have one of the better Center groups in the NHL and the Jackets have the worst in the NHL. That is a pretty important position. Wing comes in last as far as importance of building a team and is far behind the positions of Center, Defense, and Goalie. Most Cup winners are good at those positions. Pens won Cups with wingers Kunitz and a mid 30's Guerin on the top line and Fedotenko and Talbot on the 2nd line in 2009 Cup Champs. In 2016 Pens won the Cup with Sheary and mid 30's Kunitz on the top line and Hornqvist and a rookie Rust on the second line. Both those teams had maybe the worst top 2 lines at wing in the playoffs. The opposite would never happen with a team having the worst Center group and winning a Cup.

So while I agree that Jets gave up more they got better and Jackets got worse. I also don't see Laine working out with Torts long term. Jackets need to make another deal to make this deal work out for them.

Exactly. CBJ having the worst centers in the league is going to be exposed even more when they return back to the Metro and take a look at their schedule and see a blitz of Hughes, Zibanejad, Barzal, Crosby, Malkin, Aho, Backstrom, Kuznetsov and Couturier.... Jarmo does know he will be back in that division next year right?? Because ATM it seems like he is just making moves by the seat of his pants with no long term planning.

 

[Whalers Fan]

Put Laine on Domi's line and watch Torts head explode.

 

[Allan92]

What a trade from Jarmo

The guy's highs as GM of the Jackets is insane

What a great haul

Laine has been only offense two years ago. Get your facts to 2021. Or even 2020 first.

This is probably one of the best quality for quality returns Winnipeg could have received.

 

[hockeeyyy]

Guess Laine will never hit 80 goals and 150 points now.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Another 14 day quarantine

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Max domi first center.

Domi with Laine and tortorella lmao

 

[sufferer]

This is exactly what I thought would happen, at least as far as the players who were exchanged. I feel good about myself.
