Only scored two goals vs the Bruins. I would have guessed more as well.

Laine is not good defensively, he also gets frustrated when shadowed close. I don't consider him a premier goal scorer anymore beyond his first few seasons.
He has a cannon, but until he works on his all-around game a matures as a player he is not going anywhere.
Just my 2 cents.

Um. I wouldn't put the Bruins in a category that they are a Patrick Kane away from the cup. But that's me. To each their own.

So who is feeding him? Roslovic or Domi? He might do well with Atkinson but they have no centers to speak of that compare to what Laine came from on the Jets.
With Kane they would be a Cup contender, but still not a favorite IMO.

The Jets are the number one team in Winnipeg. The Blue Jackets are probably fighting the Cavaliers for number three behind the Browns and Buckeyes.
At least it’ll feel like a bigger market.
I guess.

Tortarella and Laine 
0.0 this works
0.0 this works
Do you think he's taking a pay cut? And Capfriendly shows the Jets retaining 1.75m so whatever happens CBJ is going to be on the hook for a high priced salary after this summer unless they flip Laine. Could happen, but Torts' act wears thin after a while and he's driven off one marquee player already. I don't see Jarno and company letting that continue.

And in the exact same place as Chicago afterwards if they don't win. Subtract the assets it would cost to acquire Kane and hey, least we can fuel the Chicago rebuild better than ours.

Really like this deal for Winnipeg:
Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler
Ehlers-Dubois-XXX
Than Stastny and Lowry as your 3-4C.

With Hellebuyck who can get hot, you could see then pushing the Avs for tops in the west

Pretty good trade. Columbus made out well. Better than I thought they would given their situation. PLD gets to play in the organization in which his dad works. Laine is a stud offensively. If he is smart he will listen to Torts and improve his overall game. He's still very young, and could really become something extra special if he becomes better at the non-scoring part of the game. It will be interesting to see who ends up getting the better end of the deal. Both teams got great talents. Fun to see a trade of this magnitude early in the season.

I do. Lost Cup Finals to Blues 2 seasons ago. Last season top team in regular season (pre covid) and lost in playoffs to eventual Cup winners Tampa.
Unless you believe the sole reason for their success was Krug? Why wouldn’t adding a guaranteed 30/40+ veteran goal scorer keep them in Cup contention?

No way. The peg has brutal defence. Just because they add a centre it doesn’t fix their brutal defence. This team can’t even compete with the maple leafs. Talking about competing with Colorado. Colorado is a team I consider one of the best.

You said “Laine is easy to shutdown if you don’t give him room to shoot”. All I said is the same logic can be applied to Pastrnak, or any sniper for that matter.
Don’t move the goal posts

He doesn’t watch the same nhl as us. But also Kane has a crippling cap hit. He will never win a cup again.
From the Blue Jackets board:
"Dubois for Laine is the funniest outcome
for two guys who wanted the hell out of
Ohio and Manitoba and wound up in
Canadian Ohio and American Manitoba"

Can’t see Columbus paying Laine next year
sounds like a DeBrusk + to Columbus for Laine deal next Fall
hopefully Laine can be what Charlie Simmer was
I believe Krejci (resigned 1 year deal) and Laine will click well
0.1 Columbus pays him and the Bruins will have the ability to bundle decent players that will work in Columbus

Yeah and I guess his dad coaches there so there's some upside. Probably not what he initially had in mind though lol

Pasternak is way better then laine over all. He is infinitely better with out the puck. He shoots just as good. But other wise Pasternak is way better. Pasta hits and plays in all three zones. He is all over the ice. Extremely high hockey iq. In fact I think Pasternak is one of the best players in the world.

There is no West this year. Next year.
They will prevent the Habs of getting out of the division tough so that’s a good thing for this year.

I've watched Laine a lot since he started. He is not the player you are making him out to be.
But time will tell which one of us is right.
