Sportsnet: Short term deal for Laine? Not in Winnipeg much longer?

[Celtic Note]

Was a hack as a player and the same as a media personality.

 

[NiL8r87]

Offer sheet from Tappara guaranteed.

 

[Takasugi]

Fortnite is a hell of a drug.

It's bell lets talk day. Laine should talk about his fortnite problem. It would help the other addicts out there.

 

[NextYear67]

In fairness, I think Kypreos knows a thing or two about slumps, his entire NHL career was pretty much one big slump after all.

Is that supposed to be a chirp?

 

[John Agar]

Kyp'erd brain...

Never was that smart...

Laine isn't going anywhere...

I will not play Fortnite. I know absolutely nothing about the gameplay, but it seems really addictive and I've heard a lot of horror stories about it negatively affecting young men.

I am usually really good with video games. I can play, shut them off - but I am afraid if I even play a minute of Fortnite that it will interfere with my HFBoards posting career.

Listening to Kypreos makes me miss Healy. I always change channels for Healy and his crap.

 

[crowi]

Kypreos makes his living talking about things he doesn't understand. Why would this be any different.

 

[Jets]

IF and it's a big IF Chevy was even considering trading him, Carolina is a great landing spot.

1) Aho - Laine combo
2) Canes need scoring and have too many good young D
3) Jets could use a D for a winger swap
4) Canes owner wants scoring at the cost of Defence

 

[Leaf Fans]

I don't think Kypreos has any facts. he gives his opinion. I think Laine stays with the Jets. He is too good of a player to lose.

 

[PromisedLand]

What a JOKE!!! How did I never see this before?

LOL holy hell LOL

Bahahahaahahahhaahahahaahahaha

 

[jgimp]

If someone wanted to pay up for him, Chevvy should listen. Some red flags on and off the ice and he's a guy that's always going to be overpaid for goalscoring. That said, I'll take him in Boston thank you very much.

Laine for McAvoy?

I think I do that!
I am in the camp that we keep Laine. It’s just a slump, he’s only 20 and still developing.
That said, no one (except for a select obvious few) is immovable. If the right offer is proposed, it is in Winnipeg’s best interest to listen

 

[tntkid]

Kypreos is a moron and Sportsnet is an amateur garbage run station with National Enquirer quality reporting.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

If by some chance he became available I'd hope that the Oilers would come calling with a solid offer.

What could the Oilers offer? They really only have 3 desirable players.

 

[Cellee]

lol

Will Kypreos quit his job if he is wrong?

If not, shut your f***ing mouth

 

[Flair Hay]

Without a good playoffs:

A) yes
B) no
C) if dubas was our GM he may have got his huge deal anyway

I keed I keed

 

[Flair Hay]

What a lot of fans don't realize or want to admit is that, your in a salary cap era and today's salaries are different than 5 years ago. Teams can no longer afford to pay all their players .
That means tough decisions as to who is considered a core player and the rest are moved .

It's called parity. The NHL in its next CBA agreement will have to address the salary cap and how it is way behind and a significant raise in the cap is needed. Until then

The tough decision is, which bottom six winger to trade and or not resign?

Keeping the lottery gift from the heavens, that is still a project, on a bridge deal is the easy part

 

[Fogelhund]

Kypreos is terrible, but he is probably accurate in stating that Laine won't be signing a long-term contract at this point.... Now if his production picks back up, sure. He's a quality player, and even the best have slumps. He's just a kid, and figuring things out, including whether video games affect his on ice play.

 

[Gargyn]

A lot of people saying Kypreos is an idiot. I think Cheveldayoff is the idiot if he signs Laine to big money. The guy is a power play specialist. He could care less about defence and his skating and iq are horrible. Big mistake signing him to a big deal. Trade him to a team that thinks he can do more than take a slap shot from the half wall.

Agreed

Dont see it. What would you suggest is fair?

 

[Lunatik]

This place is so f***ing ridiculous that it even makes Kypreos look smart. Everyone is jumping on Kypreos because it's what they do and it's like no one actually understood what he was saying, or even listened to it.

All he is saying is because of his recent usage, Laine might not want to stay in Winnipeg long-term.

Players have wanted out for worse reasons than that, so why is this such a crazy or stupid thing to say?

 

[Kotkaniemi15]

Speculation from Kypreos lol. This has less value than Milan Lucic does in a trade
