Smart move by Laine, I expect him to be moved at the deadline if CBJ isnt in a playoff spot

Nice hunk of coal

I don't think that will be the decider. More if they can jump start his corpse and capitulate to his demands. I think if he's *happy* he'll want to stay.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Will he still be an RFA after his deal is up?

Will he still be an RFA after his deal is up?

One year left after this one.

Jets will happily undo the Laine trade with CBJ at the deadline, and give them back the 3rd rounder they paid for him. Maybe even a 2024 2nd with retention!

 

[JKG33]

No shit he did. He's worth about half that at this point

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I swear this offseason I always forget he even exists.. major lack of talk about him

 

[CatchyTune]

So he's a UFA next year?

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

He's gonna get moved as a pure rental probably in 1.5 years. Can't see someone trading for and extending him at what he's gonna want.

 

[CBJ goalie]

Awww yeaaa, now earn that money!!!!

@MMC got beat boys

Still RFA next year. Needs to play 7 seasons to qualify for UFA before age 27.

 

[Viqsi]

Will he still be an RFA after his deal is up?

I believe so but am not certain. (This coming season would be his sixth under contract.)

 

[Freedom]

I think that is not good for a caliber player like Laine. His persona is shown here

nah, we're keeping Roz.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Hopefully Columbus can get him going. They need him something fierce.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

nah, we're keeping Roz.

Roz was traded for PLD. You can keep Roz, we'll keep PLD.
Laine was traded for a 3rd. We'll give you your 3rd back for Laine at the deadline

Haven't you heard that she is paint cannon?

 

[trellaine201]

So he's a UFA next year?

“Should Laine sign the qualifying offer, he will have one additional year left of restricted free agency and could eventually become an unrestricted free agent at 25, a remarkably young age to hit the NHL’s open market. ”

7.5 for hot garbage

I find myself quite impressed with your generosity but disinclined to accept. I'm sure you understand.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Man that’s a waste of money but they didn’t have much choice. They couldn’t let him walk

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

What a disaster.

 

[Forge]

I feel like Columbus should just start shopping him. Feels like a situation where he's just going to take his QO each year and then bounce. I think he's a guy that just wants to hit the market.
