Speculation: NBC Segment on Laine

[Coach Parker]

Roenick simply stirring the pot. Would he become available if Stone indeed was traded to Winnipeg and then signed there?

I'm with Carter and I think pursuing Duchene could be the perfect answer for Laine's woes recently if the price-tag isn't too steep for the Jets as a rental.

Chevy is always quiet with his moves.

roenick got hit in the head 1 or 50 too many times to be giving any sort of analysis on tv

 

[ffh]

according to jr not enough money to go around cause we also have to pay our goalie who signed a contract this year for 6 years and he thinks still needs to be signed.

 

[These Are The Days]

Why in God's name would Winnipeg EVER give up on Laine and who on earth even has the cap AND the assets to acquire him?

 

[JetsFan815]

This guy does not seem to understand the concept of bridge deals.

 

[Meeqs]

Laine has really struggled this year, I think its well documented, however when a player is struggling and still on pace for 35 goals, thats probably a damn good player. If he's also only 20 and has over 100 NHL goals to his name maybe you consider keeping that guy.

Don't get me wrong, WPG isn't as good as they were last year, losing Stastny really hurt and Enstroms loss is underrated as well.

I think I'm in the minority on the Jets board but I think Duchene is the answer to get him going again. Judging by all the data I have combed through. Duchene's style of play fits Laine to a T. We don't need to trade him, we need to get him the right center.

Colorado does!

 

[These Are The Days]

Colorado does!

I thought about it but who do they give to make the deal happen?

Rangers can probably give up a good return for Laine. Probably involving Hayes and Lias Andersson.

That’s why I never really understood this Stone chasing talk. You have one of the best goal scorers in the league and instead of getting him a center, they chase a winger that will command 9/10M salary? Sense, this makes none.

Id love to see this data

 

[Hobnobs]

Roenick is a shock jock and not an analyst. He's only there to make drama for views and clickbait links.

 

[torniojaws]

Still baffles me why Paul Maurice pairs him with Little despite having YEARS of evidence they simply do not mesh whatsoever. It's like he's the kind of guy who attempts to hit the lamp post with a snowball 121 times, and when he hits it on the 121st attempt goes "Ha, damn I'm so good!"

 

[BB88]

You don't trade Laine type player.

Yes his game .....s this year but you sit him down at the end of year and get him whatever he needs not trade him.

 

[Legend123]

i wish he was a Hab. God damn it

I've always thought this too with all the Stone to Winnipeg talk. Duchene makes wayyy more sense. You already have 4 very solid top 6 wingers in Wheeler, Ehlers, Connor and Laine. Little is good but he's like a Chris Tierney. Sure he could play 2C but he's ideally a 3C. A Connor-Duchene-Laine line would be a fantastic scoring line.

Imagine landing Duchene, and getting Laine going again. Stone would probably bump him down the lineup? Whereas Duchene directly helps him. And would cost less than Stone. Only thing is the chances of staying are higher with Stone.

 

[CanadienShark]

Roenick is a hack. Can't take anything he says seriously.

 

[PhilJets]

The 5th fastest player in the history to reach 100 goals before turning 21. And already being consired to be traded

16 game winning goals
Made Winnipeg pedestrian power play one of the best in 2 years.
In 2.5 years
He played with 5 centers. Produced elite numbers with 4 of them exept the center he has been playing with all year.

Lets give up on him

 

[Neuf]

NHL still denying the link between concussions and CTE?

Roenick is nothing but a load mouth attention seeker .Winnipeg aren't trading Laine .

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Laine needs his own version of Nicklas Backstrom.

Is throwing snowballs at lamp posts a Canadian pastime? I've never heard of that before.

 

[varano]

I dont disagree with him. Winnipeg has a lot of roster players. If they could turn laine into something that helps them...why not.. Laine doesn't do much aside from score..which he's not doing much of, and play on the power play. His value is basically the same of the typical lazy goal scoring winger.

I disagree with Laine asking for 10 million though. With this season, its most likely going to be a 1 or 2 year deal to figure out what his value is.

Rangers can probably give up a good return for Laine. Probably involving Hayes and Lias Andersson.

They’d want a lot better pieces than Hayes and Lias.
