Whoa.. hold on, you seriously believe that?

If that comes to fruition.. ouch. I just don't see it, not yet.

No team in the NHL is going to give him top dollar now that we see he is nothing but a complimentary player who just wants to pad his stats and with a sour attitude.

Europe will pay him more.

I think this(or any trade) can be lose-lose only with new BAD contracts.

The difference is in when PLD and Laine aren't scoring much only one of them is still contributing a lot on the ice. Dubois has been a pretty good defensive center. It's annoying that he doesn't score more but he plays well in his own end and is one of a few Jets that hits mean. Laine would for sure look a lot better on the Jets then he does on CLB. As usual too early to tell with this trade.

I'm sure one of them will eventually get playing up to the level they should be playing at again. Which one, where, and when i have no idea.

Decent trade for Wpg, bad trade for CBJ because of their Coach.

I think Laine would do very well on a team that he had the freedom to be himself and then mature afterwards with age.

He's classic Generation Z. Torts doesn't appear to know how to coach the new generation of players.

Oh my god I’ve never wanted a thread title fixed so badly in my life lol


Loose/lose and choose/chose are the most irritatingly frequent mistakes i see:shakehead

Its funny that they both left situations best for them and didnt see it in the moment. Its also funny that to this point Roslovic has probably been the best player in this deal and hes just been ok overall

How would people know if it wasn't stated in the first place?

It is common knowledge that this is very much an international board. Has been for nearly 20 years.

If a person has somehow missed that, I don't really know what to say, except maybe that's a case of a membership in one of the following clubs: 'Flat Earth Society' or 'Search for extra-US intelligence'.The latter, also know as SETU has a branch called 'SETU at home' where you can install the software on your computer and use it to search for signals of intelligent lifeforms outside the US. Just for the brave, endeavoring souls, though.

Pshaw. Everybody knows that's an absurd myth. I mean, yeah, sometimes folks will claim that Canada is actually "outside the US" as opposed to being the Maple Leaf State we all know and tolerate, but nobody takes those weirdos seriously. Nobody worth paying attention to, anyways.

Any chance Laine moves to a new season this summer? As an RFA, there has been very little talk about his next steps. Considering his past, I would imagine he is already dreaming of greener pastures and I wouldn't blame the Jackets for hoping that happens also.

Really a bummer overall as I was a big Laine fan. Hope he finds his way in this league.... If not, will be remembered as one of the biggest falls from grace ever.

Do people understand that there are some among us whose native language is not English? The amount of gloating at spelling mistakes seems very childish.

If you want to come to an English board, and engage in English, wouldn't you want to know the rules of the language?
Plus its giving a poor example, of how to write it.

I wish you and others well in this endeavour.

As for 1 for 1? Probably didn’t work out for any party. Like both guys should be going to a new team.

when you consider that CBJ also got Roslovic? Easy win for them. He is “statistically” the best player this season and he was suppose to be 3rd guy.

Wherever I'm standing atm
I aint trying to pile on but someone needs to appreciate the comedy gold of the following:

OP makes a spelling error in the title. Then gets ribbed a little

yes defiantly a loose loose

its all water under the fridge at this point though
How do people still spell lose wrong?
He gets annoyed, corrects the title and says this
I didnt correct is just so all you 10yr olds can complete ignore what the thread is about and only focus on spelling.

Only to IMMEDIATELY follow it up with this
Puljujärvi is the huzzler on the line. .

C'mon, that's just funny as hell timing
