No one makes this comparison...

I actually think his best comparable is Jeff Skinner. Not a great 2 way game shoot first player who can score a lot. Yes their styles are different but production is very similar.

Adjust for capflation 6.5 -7m x 5.

 

[jrs]

that's right Marner, Laine is catching up.

 

[JetFan4Ever]

After reading through numerous posts, one thing is clear; Laine is a very polarizing player. His skill and goal scoring ability versus other aspects of his game has clearly divided the fan base wrt his value. What are some other comparables? Would be interesting to hear what other players had this effect on the fan base.

Laine should sign a 3 year deal at $7-7-10 for a cap hit of $8 million.

Trade him to the Habs for Petry + Poehling + 1st 2021.

 

[Snowman]

Trade him to the Habs for Petry + Poehling + 1st 2021.

Take out Petry and replace him with Domi or Kotkaniemi and you might get a call back.

Didn’t Poehling just get concussed last week? Isn’t he out indefinitely?
How about NO!

shhh, no WiFi in Winnipeg

Yes. For what it's worth, it looked pretty minor and nobody suspected it was a concussion at the time, though it's true that there's no easy prognosis with concussions. However, there's no reason to think that he won't recover and be fine. The kid had a beautiful goal setup in that game.

Nice assist in the preseason and probably not THAT concussed. Sounds like a deal to me!

lol damn

 

[Not Sure]

Dont know if it's already been posted or not, I just saw it shared on facebook. Rumor: Buffalo sends mega-offer to Winnipeg for Patrik Laine

So Laine for Risto, Sheary, and 2 firsts contingent on resigning. What's the thought from Winnipeg fans?

No thanks. The 2 firsts are nice, but Sheary and Risto need to be dropped and more quality needs to be added.

Why is Laine giving up fortnite or something?

Player looks more interested in gaming than an NHL game.

 

[Not Sure]

I get this would be contingent on re-signing, but hes still an unsigned player returning a huge haul. Not exactly a sign and trade, if he refuses to extend and those first end up turning into 7th's you still get a signed Risto and Sheary for Laines rights.

I dont exactly think Winnipeg jumps at that offer, but with the possibility of losing Buff they need to look long and hard at who is going to take over that spot. Not that Risto should ever be a 1D again, but who else is available for the right side?

It doesn't really matter who is available on the right side if Buff retires. With him gone the Jets would be in tough to do much if they make the playoffs. So, they're better off letting the young kids play and seeing what they have rather than trading an excellent young winger for a marginal defenseman a couple picks (which are nice) and a winger we have no need for.

The Jets have no reason to move Laine and are under no pressure to do so. Therefore, unless a trade fills holes for the Jets and makes us better in the short and long term, there's no reason to trade him.

This deal doesn't offer the Jets enough improvement to make it our worth their while.

Fair enough. I'm not familiar enough with the situation so I didnt know if there was some reason he keeps coming up in discussion. Thought he wanted out or the team wanted him out, I'd agree that you dont give up on a young player that has shown the skills he has, so I understand the reluctance.

Well... you could also add his hat-trick in the last regular season game, but then Jets would have add Laine+. Seriously, Poehling's a top-rated prospect and very valuable asset. A concussion is something he'll recover from and move on, just like the many players who've had them.

Nobody wants the habs scraps

I hope your joking

First round picks are nice but not specifically what the Jets would want. Risto & Sheary aren’t very interesting.

 

[tntkid]

Montreal should trade Domi and a 1st round draft pick for Roslovic and Perrealt.

We will keep Laine Thank you.

Sheary is a 3rd liner that's a UFA next year. Risto isn't good.

The two 1sts are nice, but they'll need to add some of more value to them.

You're joking, right? He's an RFA with 4 more years of team control. You don't trade for contingent picks in that scenario.
