Confirmed Signing with Link: [WPG] Patrik Laine re-signs with the Jets (2 years, $6.75M AAV)

[Pyrophorus]

He needs to pull his pants up and get to work...................................................................................................................................................... oh no, that's AM!

Wow....totally out of left field.
I don't know where Jets fans get that, AM has the same attitude?

 

[Pyrophorus]

Did you miss the news the next day where he called teammates and apologized and explained it was more of a miss understanding than anything else? If you did then have a little read....

Laine apologizes to Little for how comments to Finnish media were interpreted

There is NO doubt, he wants to be on the first line, with better players.
What about his apology to Maurice? Even if he doesn't like him, you have to
have a working relationship.

 

[Pyrophorus]

what if laine has two 50 goal seasons?

Then its Marner time...

 

[Royale With Cheese]

that he may need to play elsewhere if they dont put him on the top line for starters

Link? Nope, there isn't one.

Here’s the link:

Some guy on another forum mentioned something about this I think. Not sure really sure if it was Laine, or some other guy. May have been a different team as well.

Can buy a ton of fortnite skins with that kind of money

Technically speaking Jets really have a two year window with Laine signed to a reasonable deal; I have no doubt that Laine is going to pot at least 40 goals on average for the next two seasons

in a terrible season he still scored 30 goals; and had 3 goals in 6 games in the playoffs.

With big buff's potential retirement on a already thin blue line for the jets this 2 year bridge not sure how much its gonna help in post season success - Laine's cap hit after 2 years is going to be huge IMO

from the sounds of his interviews it seems he isnt all happy in Winnipeg... but ok... he "loves" it there if you say so

Report: Patrik Laine isn't happy with his usage, linemates

Patrik Laine uncertain about future with Jets: 'You never know'

Do you think maybe there is a difference between not being happy with usage and not being happy with a particular city? Usage and coaches can and do change. He’s only ever said positive things about Winnipeg.

 

[StumpyTown]

This contract tells me he is betting on himself to be better. That's great for the Jets. We'll see if that translates into a motivated, healthy Laine. That player is much more like the Laine we saw in November last season and most of the time the previous two seasons than the one we saw struggling last spring. That version of Laine would be incredibly entertaining, especially if he starts filling out that massive frame. I for one am very excited to see what he brings to the table this year. I think this version of the Jets, even with the depleted D core will be better than people think.

Glad to see Chevy doesn't get bent over like Dubas does.

You realize that these sentiments were expressed in the midst of a difficult contract negotiation, right? Please note his comments once he arrives...

Not something I expected but still good for Winnipeg. Have to see if Laine bounces back this yr. or not.

"When you're having contract negotiations, one thing always is who are you playing with. With the merits I have, somewhere else I'd have an opportunity to play with the best players. Everybody who understands hockey knows that,” Laine explained, as translated by Jalonen.

Let me help you. That isn’t saying he wants out. This was about contract negotiations. He is saying Chevy was offering him a contract in line with his offensive numbers. Laine is saying his numbers would be better if he was playing with top players like Marner does with Tavares, Rantenen does with McKinnon, Point with Kucherov etc.

 

[TS Quint]

Never should have given Asstin Matthews that contract.. That's what started it for him.

Nylander

 

[10Ducky10]

Nylander

Sorry, you're right.

You mean Rantenen.

 

[Gurglesons]

Yes, the second youngest team in the league is a one-and-done crew. They peaked in their early-to-mid 20s and it's nothing but lotteries from here.

I’m sure losing Trouba and Myers (not really going to matter, but still.) along with Wheeler, Little and Buff getting a year older will have no impact. Since Roslo is about to EXPLODE. Also Vesalainen is just out there “killing it”.

We heard Jets fans say similar things about Trouba...

Sure some of the older players may take small steps back, but when you’re talking about the you guys, why just mention Vesa and Roslo? No mention of Ehlers or Laine bouncing back, Conner taking another step, maybe even Scheiffle. Hellebuyck could return to Vezina form as well

 

[Pyrophorus]

You mean Rantenen.

No, I don't.

 

[crowi]

If Little is injured for a while this could force Maurice to consider other line combinations.

I don’t know about that. 6.75M is a lot for an unidimensional 50 points winger, especially when you have to qualify him for 7.5m in two years.

Good news is he will have some money to spend on new skins on Fortnite. At least he can’t let his teammates down since it’s a solo player game

What is wrong with you? Do you enjoy anything? Who are you trying to prop up by bringing Laine down, Who hurt you?

No. Just being realistic. Nothing wrong with that
