Nice try. That is not the quote that is most recent.
So what's a more recent one?

Clinging onto a 1 game sample lol, of ALL the games he played last season he was underwhelming at absolute best majority of nights.
How is he gonna snipe if no one does the dirty work to get him the puck? Laine needs a elite C who is willing to play extra defense so Laine can "cheat a little" lol. We both saw what Scheif thought about this. You act like Laines the best goal scorer from his draft year, stop doing that, he's not close.
Seems like most of the hfb Winnipeg fans like to talk about him. It really comes out as a insecurity. ”What if he becomes that elite goal scorer and PLD stay as he was this year? Better bash the guy.” I get it, it just gives weird vibes about peg’s fans. Is it not easier to just wish him good luck and move on?
I hope Laine has a bounce back year just as i hope PLD can become that second line center winnipeg has been looking for years.
No jabs intended. Just wanted to point out my observations. I feel like your response solified my thoughts. I guess it is better to be hated or loved person and a player than a one that raises no feelings at all, but you are right, it is Laine thread. 7,5M is pretty high if you factor in just his last year. If you evaluate his career in NHL, it is about right amount in this point. No jabs intended here this time either.I don't know if its an issue with winnipeg fans being insecure, as it is we are the only fan base that has had him as a player.. so it would stand to reason the bulk of the responses (comments) would be by that fanbase? Same issue as people feeling there isn't enough talk of Dubois's poor performance last year. This is a thread about laine and not Dubois, again stands to reason the bulk if not all of the talk would be about laine specifically. There has also been plently of bashing of Dubois when he was traded, as being a poor teammate or whatever. Its just that there has been no awkward interviews done by Dubois during the off-season (that I am aware of). If there was no doubt there would be more chatter about him, but here we are. Let us be honest here though, I think your post was more about wanting to jab the winnipeg fans with this whole insecurity thing though.
LOL! The Laine mafia will never stop making excuses for their primidone's failures. His bad play is always someone else's fault and never Laine himself.
If only NHL teams let Laine do whatever he wants and never ask him to actually play hockey he would score a gazillion goals.
He's definitely getting traded at the deadline. Wouldn't surprise me if Florida got him to play with Hubs and Bennett on the second line.
I for one am very much looking forward to how he does with Voracek feeding him pucks.

you sure about that? Your 2nd sentence and then the closing one to bringing the attention back to "the no jabs intended" would speak otherwise. I think you forget that both players have been slagged by there post teams. 7.5M is pretty high if you factor in his last couple of years. Money like that usually goes to line drivers. Its Bang on if you are assuming he plays closer to what people hope is his potential. Also that 7.5 is a qualifying offer I doubt its what they wanted to pay him but had to in order to retain him. I myself am a fan of Laine and hope he becomes what we Jets fans hope he would become.. but he has earned the criticism.
