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

[Empoleon8771]

I think Laine's going to be a really good addition for Columbus. He isn't a center obviously, but I think he definitely has the potential to replace the star power that Panarin had. Honestly, I think Laine's upside is a good bit higher than PLD's.

I think this is a good deal for both sides. Both teams get great young assets for players who didn't want to be there, I consider that a win-win.

Congrats to a number of you guys; called it.

Is Laine willing to be coached?

Laine versus Torts will be in the news this year. :-D

Torts loses if that happens

This might be a bigger trade than Cole for Pateryn

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

I instantly envision Laine floundering under Torts. Guys like Gaborik have done phenomenally well. But Gaborik had a much more complete game than he got credit for (Really solid defensive acumen using his speed to pressure guys and force turnovers) and the work ethic to go with it. I don't get this trade for Cbs. Think they got tantalized by the name

3 unhappy players. Makes sense. Jets must really hate laine

I think it will be a non issue. Laine isn't a two-way powerhouse but he competes and throws his body around a bit. As a winger the expectations will be less. He just needs to shoot the puck.

Legit a very bizarre trade. The one thing to the people thinking Winnipeg got hosed, seriously consider the fact that they wanted to trade Laine. No team let's go of players with Laines ability so quickly.

There must be something with Laine.

Ha, no he doesn’t.

PLD just lost. Laine would be no different.

Jarmo is program over player at this point.

If by something you mean faking a back injury until he gets traded because he doesn’t want to be there, you would be correct.

Gaborik and Torts relationship was a ticking time bomb and was only held together in 2011-12 by a solid locker room

 

[Osprey]

I've seen this script before. Laine will be unhappy and unproductive in Columbus because he wants to be on the beach in Southern California, eventually causing LA to trade for him and go on to win the Cup.

 

[DFF]

Ha, no he doesn’t.

PLD just lost. Laine would be no different.

He has one free play...next one he is out, guarantee

Nobody is dumb enough to keep choosing a coach over star players.

I thought this too. Laine and Maurice are at loggerheads. What better way to leave than score 3 points the first game and then say "screw you".

PLD is the first player to put the organization in this situation. All others left as UFAs and didn’t cite Torts as an issue.

 

[robertocarlos]

I apologise for mis-spelling Auston. If I didn't know for sure I should have looked it up.

AM is the best player under 24 years old.

Yes, that's why torts survived...but if it keeps happening he is gone.

Also the Dubois thing wasn't really caused by torts anyway.

No way.. Really?

 

[robertocarlos]

CBJ already looks more relaxed.

 

[DangeRouss]

So PLD for Danault and a bag of pucks...? habs fans forums were totally crazy all day long

Not a CBJ fan but they win this one IMO
Making a good deal happen in crisis like this doesn't happen often

 

[Dynamite Time]

COLUMBUS WINS THIS!

 

[Xoggz22]

Does Laine have to quarantine too or is he good to go

Needs to clear covid and get Visa. Also on IR so unlikely to be impacted by the move. PLD will have a 14 day quarantine...

We don't know what the offer really was, but it was considered in the top 3 final offers... But random hfboards posters know better right?
