@22. Btw Any Kane > Manthaand the last 2 years he's basically identical statistically to Evander Kane
You also said Yzerman will be pretty much the same as Holland. Trust me Yzerman will at least "kick the tires" on Laine. This team is desperate for HIGH END TALENT! And all those hypothetical offers with these prospects (whom which almost never pan out the way we hope) can always be counter offered.I am just saying if we are going to pay the price for Laine, let’s actually go super aggressive and try to get a guy like Barkov who is a truly elite C. Instead of picking a sniper wing for a high price, why shouldn’t we look for a top C at a crazy price? If we want to throw a bunch of assets at acquiring a young, elite piece, let’s get one that actually addresses the crazy dearth of talent at important places.
Two of our three best prospects are high end wingers. Shouldn’t you hope/think that Raymond and Zadina will hit? Do we have a true 1c? If you consider Larkin to be one... do we have a true 2C? Veleno and Rasmussen might have promise, but them hitting that level is pretty damn optimistic.
Oh Lawt Hammercy. Did you actually read the Dobber link?Yes you are.
So on one hand you guys want to say Laine is littered with flaws then on the other his asking price is through the roof. Which one is it again?You can’t force Winnipeg to trade him to you. For the same reasons you want Laine, they want to keep him. Or they want to get a f***ing haul for him.
You aren’t going to get Patrik Laine at 22 for Mantha + other assets that won’t hurt the rebuild.
Hell, I don’t even think Winnipeg would be interested in Mantha. Would you want a package centered on Seider, the 2021 1st, or Larkin +? Because that’s a far more realistic price than Mantha + a GR C (Veleno, Ras, etc) + a 2nd.
Yzerman is a good GM, he’s not a miracle worker.
I mean, fine, ask the price. Don’t be surprised if it’s too damn high. Teams don’t tend to trade a Laine for a cheap price even if that player wants off the roster.
TLDR. Was it a virus?Oh Lawt Hammercy. Did you actually read the Dobber link?
WTH? A Virus? I hope you're kidding.TLDR. Was it a virus?
That was a joke dude chill out. Anyway I don't trust Mantha to stay healthyWTH? A Virus? I hope you're kidding.
It's from DobberHockey.com. An article on Mantha & his "injury label" from Oct.18th. You can hover over any link & it'll tell you the URL.

You just need the proper reward, based on his mood:I am not sure it has been mentioned yet I just thought I would add this to the discussion.
Laine's UFA age is only 5 years away. It's going to take at least 5 years to make up the assets we would lose trading for him making the wings a train wreck for most if not all of Laine's pre UFA status. So what's to stop Laine from getting to 2026 and being like so long and thanks for all the fish. Hi scontract is still 1 more year there is no garuntee we can keep him signed past UFA
