Aside from seeing how both teams look with their new shiny toys.. what I also really want to know is if Avgard "the hockey professor" has made his appearance yet on the Columbus board yet
Hattrick Laine with a stellar incoming debut no doubt. Always has the Stars numberNo games for Laine or Dubois yet.
Laine will likely debut on Tuesday against Dallas. Dubois later.
Roslovic made his CBJ debut yesterday. Played "ok", I guess.
Yea, I forgot he now has Dallas in the same division. Florida too, which he has 2ppg against.Hattrick Laine with a stellar incoming debut no doubt. Always has the Stars number
Did Roslovic play centre last night, or wing?I thought Roslovic looked pretty good in his first game. Showed good speed, good hands and some nice backchecking. Also better on faceoffs than I thought. First game but I prefer positive starts to clunkers. I think he's the key to the trade. If CBJ get a 40-50pt center out of the deal and 35-40 goals from Laine with an improved PP, they will be a better team because of it. No 1C any more, however, Domi, Texier and Roslovic all could be 2C or 2C+ level centers. They all appear to have the ability. Once the CBJ gets settled with Laine in the lineup we'll see what they look like 5 or so games in. I'm encouraged.

Yes. Legendary first post too.
So the actual trade was Laine, Roslovic, and Avgard for Dubois and a 3rd round pick.
Solid deal all around.

Players almost universally love himFirst time I have ever heard any one say that Maurice treats his players with respect.
Funny, the same thing is said about Torts.Players almost universally love him
there is no rationality to it at all. in no other profession do employers yell at their employees even if they deserve it. trying to humiliate someone by yelling at him doesnt work. doesnt help that he has to play mind games with his players to boot. maurice treats his players with respect cause thats what decent people do.
Laine was told everything directly in Winnipeg too.It will be great, trust me. Both Torts and Laine are straightforward guys who are and appriciate honesty above all. Torts "says" everything honestly and that is what Laine needs and wants. It will work work out alot better than some guys here seem to think.
I have no idea what this means.When the yelling makes no sense or is not coherent with the coaches it is very different. Torts isn't perfect, but if anything he has the rationality that Maurice lacks.

It's Laine fanboy drivelI have no idea what this means.
He played Center. I believe technically 3rd line with Atkinson and JennerDid Roslovic play centre last night, or wing?
Well, he was our cap dump in the deal.We'll see, Avgard can be a bit much. I think the Jackets might have to pay a good prospect to send him back to Winnipeg.
Laine arriving in Columbus today!!!
The Winnipeg Jets created a short clip thanking Laine for his time here with the team & community. Good luck Patty!
Really? He is known league wide as a ‘players coach’. I haven't heard of one player that has had a bad experience or even anything negative to say about Maurice.First time I have ever heard any one say that Maurice treats his players with respect.
