Confirmed Trade: [CBJ/WPG] Pierre-Luc Dubois and 2022 3rd round for Patrik Laine (26% retained) and Jack Roslovic

[bleedgreen]

Maybe I'm not getting it, but I think Laine is a better player than PLD. Why would Winnipeg do this considering the leverage against Columbus?

Because there is no leverage against Columbus.

 

[Go Wings]

I'll miss Laine but 22 year old 6'3 #1 centres don't grow on trees.

Schiefele/PLD/stats/lowry puts us right up there in terms of centre depth.

Neither do 22 year old 6'5 40 goal wingers.

Jets don't get a defenseman back?

 

[Fro]

WHAT? Jets add a pick?

Believe CBJ did

 

[Seachd]

WHAT? Jets add a pick?

No...

 

[MMC]

HF told me there was no way Laine would ever be included. What do you mean he’s part of the deal?

 

[Atoyot]

Better be more than just a third

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Title is wrong. Winnipeg gets 3rd

He is not a #1 Centre.

 

[MrNasty]

the 3rd is from Columbus

 

[Brobust]

Big L for Winnipeg.

 

[sansabri]

well that's done

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Overpayment

 

[Michoulicious]

What a coup by Jarmo.

Chevy gets ****.

 

[serp]

Its pretty much a trade between two players who doesnt want to be with there current team anymore.

More like 3 since Roslovic didn't want to stay with the Jets either and is still unsigned.

 

[East Coast Icestyle]

Made Winnipeg scary IMO. Think Dubois has a supreme amount of potential as a power forward in this league and will play a more consistently heavy game for the jets. Interested to see if Laine takes this as an opportunity to explode or falls off under the defensive based system.

 

[DXStriker]

I Can't wait for Torts vs Laine now

 

[Fro]

HF told me there was no way Laine would ever be included. What do you mean he’s part of the deal?

One day ppl will say, wow, those CBJ fans have their finger on the pulse of the team

 

[MMANumminen]

Holy cow, do I need to watch Columbus play now?

 

[Bedards Dad]

Oh boy. I wonder if all the Finnish "Jets" fans make the move to Columbus as well?

 

[the paisanos guy]

Happy Bergevin managed to stayed away from the Francophone allure on this one.

Seems like a fair deal??

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Because there is no leverage against Columbus.

I mean most people would consider a star player effectively refusing to play anymore to be leverage against.

But cool to hear you don't.

[FinnishDevil]

I dont like trading young center for young winger, but I think this is one of the rare examples I'd be fine doing it.

 

[Neuf]

Oh no. Oh nooooo

 

[Matt24]

I think Laine is one of the most overrated players in the league and still think this is a massive win for the Jackets.
