Speculation: Frank Servalli says Laine/Ehlers could be trade bait for Winnipeg

[McVespa99]

I would doubt everyone wants him then too, what about if he gets 6 mil?

Then there would be a lot of teams in on him.

 

[Hunter368]

Why won't they play Laine with scheifele?

They have, a lot this past year.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

How many Jets games did you actually watch?

I watch a ton of Jets games. I like a lot of the players. Laine had optimum conditions this year. He had a good, not great year. What's the deal?

 

[ole ole]

Again don't know if this is a reliable source.

Rumor: Winnipeg submit an offer for Wild D, Matt Dumba

 

[Rabid Ranger]

???

Laine had a better 5v5 P/60, better 5v5 total counts, and 2 less points in 3 less games played than Wheeler.

He also had 63 points in 68 games, you're acting like he scored 40 points this year.

Lol. That's the best your so-called best player (your words) could do this year despite optimum conditions? He was behind a broken down, obsolete Blake Wheeler! Lol. What more does Laine need to perform as a generational goal scorer?

I can tell by this comment that you haven’t watched Laine much. What a joke of a take

 

[MardyBum]

Hmmm?

Our best player currently is either Ehlers or Scheifele, Ehlers pretty easily if you discount for position. What the hell are you babbling about?

"Lol."

If this is actually true:

Seems pretty fair as an outside: ~60 pts winger (given historical average) for top 4 defenseman; both with upwards potential? Given that wingers are generally less valuable than defensemen, it seems like a hockey trade.

Not sure if Minnesota would do this given their need for C.

 

[Dache]

Then there would be a lot of teams in on him.

Excellent.

It's really not. Dumba could have been good this last year (which he wasn't) and Ehlers would still be better.

People keep sleeping on the year Ehlers had on a garbage Jets team and how good he has been over the last few years.

I mostly agree. Ehlers is more valuable, but I don’t hate Dumba as a base, but I do think there should be a plus, even if just because of the difference in contract length.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

There's absolutely no reason for the Jets to move him this year. He has one more year on his contract then he's still under their control as a RFA. Next summer he's 2 seasons away from UFA, but they can still sign him for 1 more year. Summer of 2022, it's either sign him, trade him or let him walk for nothing as UFA. The Tavares, Petro special.

Still they have time and zero pressure to do anything this year.

The Jets can’t afford to trade Ehlers. He’s basically the only guy on the team that can carry the puck into the offensive zone. If they trade him, Scheifele is the only line driver left on the team.

 

[hmc1987]

The rumor that has swirled around Winnipeg is that Laine wants a big 2nd contract. Think Marner big. The Jets are really unsure if they want to spend that on him

Flyguys start w Sanheim and Frost

 

[ole ole]

Well the Jets can use a D
The Habs can use a winger
The Wild can use a C
SO
To MTL: Ehlers
TO MIN: Danault
TO WPG: Dumba

Jets are the losers on that

Ok so the Jets have no interest in trading Ehlers for Dumbo fine.

You have UFA Danault returning Ehlers

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Terrible value for Winnipeg. Pretty bad for Minnesota too unless they get to agree on a contract with Danault before. Pretty clear what fan base would be proposing this one

No just make it Dumba for Ehler.

We'll take it from there.

Actually some Minny fans love the ideal of getting Danault.
A lot revolved around Dumba and Brodin.
Many Minny fans make it clear that Brodin was a no and the talked switch to Dumba.
Some are opposed to it from both sides but i have seen quite a few that this was interesting right up to doable.
Also
So now your saying Dumba is the worst asset in the deal?
I mean they come out the worst as you claim.
