Usually ones you see on TV and have a blue check mark. This week, I would follow Bob McKenzie. He is coming out of semi-retirement to work the Free Agent Frenzy.

I don't know what he said because that troll account is now deleted.
I think Laine will sign QO of 7.5M/1 year, but maybe he prefers a bit longer contract with a bit more money as a sign of mutual trust. Seems that Jarmo is building around Laine anyway, and while the new draftees most probably will not be ready next season, things are looking already better for Laine than in the previous season.

Well, for the time being, he's staying.

Oh, of course, naturally. That completely addresses all possible contingencies.
Hi everyone,
I’m happy to read this step is done for both parties.
I personally think Patrik is one of the more misunderstood personalities in the League. I really hope that he has a redemption Season for your Team and either decides to make Columbus his Home or enables Mr. Kekalainen to acquire a load of assets toward your rebuild.
Now we can discuss if Laine is traded due to him having a contract.

He should fetch a 1st and a prospect, easily.Now we can discuss if Laine will be traded due to him having a contract.
If you trade Werenski get rid of Laine, too.

I'd probably market him a little bit differently,
but yes I'm certainly listening for offers.

Looking for a new tweet or article from Portzline
Portzline, journalist of the year or two just wrote on The Athletic:
"As expected, forward Patrik Laine ($7.5 million qualifying offer), ... were extended offers before the 5 p.m. Monday deadline."
No, Aaron, you were not expecting that you piece of journalist.
Yup. If Laine is to be traded (I don't think he is), that's the *only* sane option. That's even more true if the goal is (and I don't agree with that either) to tank for the lottery.
Even with very difficult last season, I think most people are just dead wrong about Laine. His value can only go up, unless he is injured.

This is a perfect example of an uneducated opinion. Laine’s got several skills, of which some are elite and even unique, and I’m guessing that you are thinking about his onetimer, as it is often the thing that people remember because it it’s out of this world. You may not be aware of the fact that for most of his time as a Jet, Laine was among the leaders on his team in ES scoring/60. That was on a team with offensive players like Scheifele, Connor, Ehlers and Wheeler.
Well, if he takes a step *back* to his previous form, he is the best CBJ player in the current roster, by far.
