Speculation: Laine Mega Thread V2

[HarryLime]

He's more into Fortnite than playing

Schieffele is the true face of the team

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Honest question, who has the cap space and assets to make the deal and sign him long term?

Detroit and Ottawa, Just doubt either would move the assets out to acquire him.

 

[spockBokk]

Oof, can’t wait to see all the horrible CAR proposals get brought up again...

 

[TheKingPin]

Ghost + Laughton + 1st seems more likely

 

[gojetsgo]

great here comes all the low ball offers...

 

[Lukin1978]

Hopefully he goes somewhere with a better coach

 

[violaswallet]

My guess: this thread devolves to quality for quantity offers that make Winnipeg fans unhappy and then ask for insanely large 1:1 returns that won’t happen.

Laine is a great piece who had a couple of down years. Unless Laine literally forced his way out I don’t think it makes sense for them to trade him: his potential is higher than his performance but teams won’t pay for it given some of the concerns.

Is he Hoffman or is Ovechkin is the question I have: will he average 30 goals for the next five years or 50?

If you look at Kane and Trouba it was a similar situation. The players wanted to leave but Chevy never moves quickly. He waits until he really likes the deal.

with those players it ultimately meant he didn't want to overpay for a player, and that would seem to fit Laine as well

Tkachuk.

Zero chance Tkachuk would be traded for PL

Seems like that is whats happening....

Seems like that is whats happening....

he didn't ask for a trade...
said he will be at camp...

 

[RealityHurts]

How did Jets manage to do this? Laine is a talent that could go 1st OA in a given year or at least be in discussions for it.

He's still young, he has produced. Why can't they just give him his minutes? Wheeler is still better, probably, but age will undeniably catch up..

how often do situations like this end up in the player staying long term?

 

[nickdawg95]

Schieffele is the true face of the team

guy has 3 30+ goal seasons and 1 40+ goal, in his first 4 years.

wtf are you talking about? do you think before you post

 

[Giggli G]

Come on down to the Oilers!

 

[kilowatt]

Well the Kings just brought in Lias Andersson, let's keep the entitlement momentum going with Laine. I wouldn't give up Byfield, Turcotte, or Vilardi though, so I'd imagine it would be a tough sell for Winnipeg.

Carlo and Debrusk

For

Laine and a 3rd round pick

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

great here comes all the low ball offers...

Whats a fair offer for somebody who wants out? Usually the return is disappointing.

 

[Buffdog]

Would something around Danault + Caufield + 1st work?

Our C and RW are set for the future and those are parts that could be had.

Jets fans after having a nice little break from this offer:

 

[violaswallet]

Seems like that is whats happening....

As someone else said, he is still showing up: he could literally say nah I’m hanging out in Finland. I do agree that it is going that direction.

probably the dream for a Winnipeg is finding a similarly discontent center or D but can’t think of one...

And Scheifele can continue be the face of the Jets once Laine is gone.

He gets his minutes. Please pay attention.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Idk why but I can just see Laine in a Hurricanes jersey. It just fits imo

Gotta ask for that 3rd just to make the deal extra shitty

Well then you wouldn't get him.... Why even post this?
