This. I think Laine is way too much critized about ”his wanting out”. If for some reason you don’t like your workplace then you have to resign and look for a new job. For a NHL player the route is this.Watching the interviews, Wheeler pretty clearly doesn't give a shit and Ehlers is MAD. Wheeler has glowing reviews of PLD but he's malaise as heck about Laine's performance and their relationship. Thanks, Blake.
They're pumping him up like he's a #2 C. The whole reason we got rid of him is because he's in no way a 2C lolLol, on the Tampa-Columbus game; a lot of talk on home town kid Roslovic .....
Agree.Wheeler's comments are a lot more nuanced than you are pointing them out be. He is an extremely well spoken player who gave a complex answer that touches on a lot of things that can't be summed up in two lines to paint him in an unfavorable light like you are trying to. I suggest people hear it for themselves.
I dunno. He verbatim said "In no way was I hard on Patty. If anything I coddled a teenager, young 20s something".This. I think Laine is way too much critized about ”his wanting out”.

Obviously there is something in the room. Ehlers was surprisingly unmannered when he answered NO! to the question about Patriks reasons. Probably it has something to do with Wheels/Scheif and their relationship with PoMo. Wheels seems to be a traditional ”grind your way up” guy. Who thinks that you have to grind through AHL and lower lines to become a true player. Silver plate teen stars might rub him in the wrong direction.
Garbage. Chevy didn't even get anything for avgaard.

Time will tell. He'll get more of a chance there than he ever did here.They're pumping him up like he's a #2 C. The whole reason we got rid of him is because he's in no way a 2C lol
Losing Laine definitely hurts as he was one of my favorite players. So overall I'm rather sad at the moment but business is business.
If Jack Roslovic is a #2C the team is in the lottery.He may turn out to be a 2c in their system. Don't think it's impossible.

It'll be interesting to see how Laine reacts when he finds out that his C is Jack Roslovic...They're pumping him up like he's a #2 C. The whole reason we got rid of him is because he's in no way a 2C lol

What should he have said?Watching the interviews, Chevy let it slip that he was in the market for a top center or top defenseman as a return for Laine I guess he's not happy with how things are looking with our prospects?

I don’t want to be offensive but Leafs are usually killed in the Playoffs. Happened to be Dubois this time.FWIW a Leaf fan here, and my initial response when this was announced was "Boy its going to be fun watching Winnipeg's big two against ours."
Dubois absolutely killed us in the playoffs last year. The kid is really good.
Well, their 1C is Domi, so they’re likely already heading that way...lolIf Jack Roslovic is a #2C the team is in the lottery.
Re: your intangible #1, I agree with you - I like that Laine played a great first game with 2 goals (and I think an assist?) and was physical coming to the defence of Connor. Big difference when you compare that to PLD’s now infamous 20 second shift the other night. That being said, I am willing to look past it and not judge him on that one shift.
It will be interesting to see Laine & torts together lol. Not sure that’ll end well, but we shall see.
Exactly. I think even the most positive posters have to acknowledge that on the surface this is terrible value. If PLD rounds his game out and turns into a 1C, I’ll be happy.If we don't want players like Laine, what exactly are we doing as a franchise?
What a joke
Lol, on the Tampa-Columbus game; a lot of talk on home town kid Roslovic .....
When did you think Roslo was a top 6 player?So two NHL top six for one in return and only a third round pick, anyone still think Chevy is a good GM!?
