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

[Sol]

Wouldn't it be funny if Laines reaction to the trade was "No more lag!"

 

[snowkiddin]

Congratulations, Columbus. Laine is a special player. Y’all easily won the trade.

Uhhh yeah NJ suburbs are some of the wealthiest in the country with the best public school districts. But sure if you want to take the 5 mile stretch from the Meadowlands into Penn Station and think that is what the rest of NJ is like.

ooooooooo

so exciting!

 

[robertocarlos]

CBJ is Laine like now. Four shots, two goals.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Jarmo Kekäläinen drafted 2nd overall in 2016 and got an extra NHL forward.

 

[Djp]

Lol,

I called this trade at the beginning of the month and was told that Laine and Roslovic wouldn't get PLD

LOL

that’s fair baseoutside of some fringe things with cap space or small picks

 

[Aoko]

Pretty big trade. Hope it works out for both players.

 

[joplin]

Winnipeg wins this IMO. Get a proper 1st line center for the future and gets rid of player who can score, but otherwise disappears for 80 percent of the season. Laine is a limited player and those who think Columbus wins the trade, well they are wrong
They waited for a 1st line center for some time after losing Johansen, then got him, but they messed up again. Getting a center in return would make more sense for them

 

[PensandCaps]

Uh...so what centers does Laine have to play with in Columbus...yikes.

 

[Djp]

Let's be realistic here. I hate torts with a passion and think he should be gone but Laine will get every opportunity to look good. It's either that or he's gone (torts). If it doesn't work out and Jarmo doesn't fire torts, he'll get canned for sure.

At this point Columbus has to win with Laine or big changes are coming. But honestly I don't see them making any noise with that lineup. They badly need a quality center and for Atkinson to get back to the player he was a few years ago

I don’t see Laine fitting Torts system.

I do think Columbus will regret this in 4 yrs.

I'd agree if Winnipeg wasn't retaining on Laine. Clear win for Columbus.

I see you're trying to be witty, but in the process you just confused yourself.

better luck next time.

Are you new to HF? This joke has been reported on these boards thousands of times.

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

Same is true on the PLD front. Lazy, attitude and no chance Columbus gets any value for him (insert 2nd rd pick and low prospect/player here). It just goes to show that we're not GMs for a reason. Now it's just a bitch session and try to downgrade either team. It's a good trade for different reasons. Period. Who wins? We'll know later in their careers.

 

[The Kingslayer]

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

First thought that came to mind. I would be shocked if both guys stay with these teams when they are FA's

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.

Not sure if this comment is tongue in cheek but I thought this too.

Sad to see him go because Laine is an amazing player. Columbus will love him but he is pretty immature still and it shows in his attitude.

 

[HotDish]

Uh...so what centers does Laine have to play with in Columbus...yikes.

Mikko Koivu, for that sweet Finnish synergy.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Winnipeg center depth is pretty good now.

 

[Little Psycho]

No offense to either teams but these guys are going to ask for trades in another year.

 

[c9777666]

Awful trade for the Jets. WPG got fleeced

 

[bur and 666 others]

I think both teams win this trade. Both got good value for their "damaged" assets, though I'm impressed by Kekäläinen ability to make out from a really bad situation a really good. in 2016 he got 3rd overall and could have drafted Puljujärvi. Instead e got a good center who he later traded for #2 pick + roster player.

 

[ffh]

Jarmo Kekäläinen drafted 2nd overall in 2016 and got an extra NHL forward.

And still not as good as the 3 rd oa

 

[HanSolo]

What the f*** Winnipeg

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

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

I really can’t see PLD any happier in the peg to be honest

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

Oddly enough sounds like the CBJ locker room. One of the best in the league. And this is not directed at you but saves me another post... People with the old narrative about Torts are simply not up to date. Del Zotto was crushed by Torts. Funny thing, he's now playing for him again and has nothing but praise. Yeah, I know, what else would a player say. But he's performing and for a minimum salary he could have tried a PTO anywhere. Players know where they stand with Torts and many in Columbus (including Seth Jones and Nick Foligno - go look at his time becoming captain and run ins with Torts - among others). You play hard, you'll play minutes and he won't both you. Don't play hard and he'll bench you.
