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

[Heldig]

Can anybody explain to me why this is the narrative? I would have thought Winnipeg got a lot better today.

Winnipeg maybe will be a better team but it is hard to say they got good value in the trade. Many Jets fan felt 1 for 1 was ok value. The Jets retained salary and added a decent roster player and only got a 3rd back.

Kekalainen wins another trade.

 

[ffh]

Not a lot of love in here for a 6'3 22 year old play driving centre who outscored Laine at 5v5.

Who is also about to aquire either Kyle Connor or Nik Ehlers as his left winger.

I think the Jets did well. Traded from a position of excess (talented winger) for a position of need (long term 2C - actually acquiring a 1B)

Exact opposite of CBJ

And his other winger in a year or so will be perfetti

 

[InfinityIggy]

Kinda happy habs did not overpay.
I find it funny that Columbus GM still got that value for a guy publicly wanting out

I mean, he got it because he agreed to take another guy who also wanted out.

 

[DFF]

You think $5mil is too much

No but he wants more if you want to keep him

That's how this mess started

 

[DFF]

And his other winger in a year or so will be perfetti

That's a downgrade

Continue

seems like a lot for PLD. Good trade for CBJ.

 

[ffh]

That's a downgrade

Ehlers and perfetti are not downgrades to what dubois has as wingers now in columbus

 

[robertocarlos]

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

PLD has family in Winnipeg. Even if he leaves for the Habs he's here for 4 years which is enough or he is traded.
Laine will be fine in Columbus and he also will be going to California in 4 years or sooner if he is traded.

Both teams lost nothing and both players lost nothing. The fans lost but will get over it.

 

[tellermine]

Laine wants to be in Columbus?

Yeah. According to Kekäläinen (in Finnish media) Laine talked with him and Torts before trade.
They have talked about long deal in phone so yeah. It seems well planned deal.

 

[MoeBartoli]

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

Did you mean Bemstrom for Pool Party?

 

[TMLeafs18]

Everyone saying PLD or Laine are likely to leave in a year or two really don't understand RFA rules. This type of situation really does not happen often. I imagine both are going to have to prove their worth and will both have to play out a new contract before moving somewhere else. Both teams will have these players for 2+ years at least

 

[Dynamite Time]

Holy shit!

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I mean, he got it because he agreed to take another guy who also wanted out.

Still Laine could have fetched more in my opinion (Dubois is amazing tho)

But there is more chance for Dubois to stay at Winnipeg with his dad being close than Laine signing longterm with Columbus you are 100% right

 

[robertocarlos]

No. Kekäläinen has already said they will be working on an extention pronto.

Yes they probably talked about it. Even if Laine is set on California, careful what you wish for, he is a valuable asset who can easily be traded for equal assets.

 

[JetFan4Ever]

Pre trade - "Laine is a lazy one dimensional player who is a an overall detriment to his team. Only cares about playing Fortnight"
Post trade - "Amazing generational talent, how could Winnipeg let him go for that?"

You just cant win on social media. looool

 

[gwh]

Holy hell Winnipeg got murdered. RIP

 

[SRHRangers]

People are now saying that Winnipeg lost the deal.

If you followed the PLD trade thread the last week, those CBJ fans are not happy about this trade.

If both sides aren't happy, prolly means it was a good deal for both.

 

[Xoggz22]

Winnipeg retained on only one year, and the retention was so the Jackets could use that retention money to sign Roslovic. It’s not as bad as people are making it out to be.

They actually didn't need the retention to sign Roslovic. They have $11M on LTIR. The retention helps as I'm sure Columbus wants to save any money possible.

 

[McRpro]

Torts will love the intensity and work ethic that Laine brings.

 

[King Woodballs]

I am still giddy with joy. Great day to be a Jets fan!

 

[Dynamite Time]

I hate Laine; no he’s awesome and has scored easily against my Stars.

Once again we get to challenge him.

 

[ThisIsMyAlibi]

Is Laine willing to be coached?

 

[gwh]

Yes they probably talked about it. Even if Laine is set on California, careful what you wish for, he is a valuable asset who can easily be traded for equal assets.

I think he might go to Florida or Colorado. His training buddies in Finland are Barkov and Rantanen.

 

[robertocarlos]

Kekäläinen delivers once again. Not sure how well Laine and Torts will mesh, though.
It's fun to see a blockbuster trade, hasn't happened in a while.

They'll be fine. Better than Laine and Maurice. I like Torts and Laine. They'll both prosper from the relationship.

 

[Volica]

Torts will love the intensity and work ethic that Laine brings.
