Patrik Laine III: We’ve got questions, he’s got answers

[Youngguns80]

Boone is still here FWIW and if we're trying to predict what Jarmo is going to do then we're playing a fool's game.

Trade Boone, Korpi, Benstrom and 2022 1st for Jack Eichel - not advocating just saying I think everything is open

 

[jonlin]

I assume the Voracek trade is Laine-related. Voracek is a playmaker and a good one. I expect to see an extension with Laine released pretty soon

Supposedly the price for Eichel is astronomical. That's not an astronomical price. That price is solidly planted on Earth if not a few feet below.

Yes, exactly

Just trying to be provocative - but it wouldn’t surprise me for anything now

Yes, hopefully.

Rather trade Korpi for a 22 2nd. Jenner at the deadline for a first and let Bemmer get a bigger role this year and walk into 22 with 3 1sts and multiple seconds.

Everyone wants to bitch about not having a contender. Well it's gonna take some heartache and some patience. But 6 1sts in two years is definitely one way to build a legitimate perennial playoff team that could grow into a contender depending on development and the right moves down the line.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Thought this was funny irony

Portzline: members of the leadership group want Laine traded

Jarmo: *trades leadership group*

As I’ve said a million times, people can be part of the problem or part of the solution.

Time will tell which part this “leadership group” was. One of the leaders who had already been traded prior to this meeting is the one who talked Torts into staying and that was just part of the train wreck this past season.

Gonna ink a one-dimensional winger who doesn’t drive play to 1C money. Amazing.

I suppose management can look at a long term bad contract with Laine as good luck. They could have Bob, Seth and Laine on 8 year deals at huge money. So don't be sad. So missing out of two of three horrid contracts ain't bad.

If you throw in Duchene it could be 3 out of 4, but that doesn't fit with the song.

See what happens when you badmouth Patrik.

I think if we were going to get Eichel, it would have been yesterday when we had 5 upcoming 1st round picks to throw at them, and not now when we have 8-million-dollars-worth of Jake Voracek.

Busy Draft could lead to busy week — The Fourth Period

The Columbus Blue Jackets, also very active, will start contract talks with pending restricted free agent Patrik Laine.
As I reported last week, Columbus started doing its due diligence over what the market could look like if Laine were up for grabs, again, in case contract negotiations go sideways. There will be a lot of interest in him if he’s available. It all comes down to the type of contract he wants and if Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen is willing to accept a big number.
The Blue Jackets surprised a lot of people, including the player himself, by moving Cam Atkinson, but it’s clear what direction the team is going in. If Laine’s contract demands are too much for Jarmo’s liking, he’ll take offers.

Maybe interest yes but offers.... . Everything can happen I won`t be suprised if he is traded. Although I wouldn`t want it.

EDIT: And I think it may be a reaction to recent events, Jarmo wants to be ready for everything. Although, I don't need to be David Pagnotta for that, we all know that.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

If we end up trading him, I’m targeting Edmonton. Broberg/Bouchard+Neal+1st would keep the rebuild full steam ahead.

I think Edmonton fans would storm Hollands office and drag him out onto the streets if he trades more defense for offense . Be losing games 6-4 for the rest of McDavids career

[Kevo22363]

With the Voracek trade, I would have to think Laine is coming back. Unless there is a primo trade offer.

If they're offering Holloway I'd hope we jump on that deal.

Do anybody this guy? Although it isn`t nothing tragical because he only turns down only QO what is normal. We see then... .

He has joined on July 2021. He`s probably NHL reporter. That's why I asked.

Thank you, at least I will know how to treat his insides (all of them). I will be glad if you tell me which insiders are serious.

Always start with followers...number or who....can have small followers but are they respected ppl...this guy has neither

Most of what I read is that he's taking the QO. Is that about right?
