Him becoming a great player to me is not that important. They already have gained unexpected value out of Roslovic, and if Laine goes on a hot streak and is traded at the right time, he can bring back some major assets to the team. Dubois also doesn't look too hot for the Jets, so maybe his value wasn't that high after all.

Obviously, Laine becoming great and going on to sign with Columbus for the long-term would be ideal for the franchise, but then that trade would've been a total steal for Columbus. I think you have to be realistic about such trades, the value that Columbus is getting out of Roslovic+Laine is already more than Winnipeg is getting out of Dubois.

If that's the case then it is only because Dubois has greatly disappointed. It's a steep come-down from where we were - winning series in back-to-back years.
