As for all the Laine talk, no thanks. I say this as a HUGE fan of his while he was here.
Of course he still holds Winnipeg in high regard. Those we’re the best days of his career.
The Jets roster needs reconstruction, not reassembling the old band that didn’t work.
It's hard to say with the development curve...straight from draft into a starting role, you can get the Burmistrov slide, or maybe another chance somewhere else. He was 2nd in C minutes last year on the team, but so was Adam Lowry. Not my hill to die on, I just think you can't write off players too young...21 isn't a fully mature age for most hockey players...luckily Chevy is the one making deals.Would you rank someone that has averaged 28 points per season over those 220 games higher than a 3C?
I'd happily turn Rutger and Iafallo into Laine and one of Sillinger, Mateychuk or Jiricek. I'd even be willing to add to make it workWonder if we could pull something off like this, we'd only take on about 2 mil which is doable:
Rutger + Iafallo for Laine @ 6mil + Mateychuk
We have a glut of bottom 6 guys so I think we'd give up AI because of his contract (I want guys like Kupari or AJF on the 4th line with their speed and forecheck)
Little less hopeful on landing a guy like Mateychuk after hearing from our Columbus friends, seems like they'd probably counter with a guy like Sillinger
You don’t want to see how Perfetti and Laine might play together?
I don't know, all this Laine talk seems like an overreaction to our bad PP.
I think it has more to do with 3 of the beat writers saying they heard whispers of laine and the jets, I don't see how it works myself but that's why it's picked up these past daysI don't know, all this Laine talk seems like an overreaction to our bad PP.
I hope for the sake of Patrik Laine that he gets to play for Paul Maurice again. It would be good his career and Maurice is going to care about his players until he retires.I'd happily turn Rutger and Iafallo into Laine and one of Sillinger, Mateychuk or Jiricek. I'd even be willing to add to make it work
And scoring in an empty netIf there was one thing Wheeler was good at it was feeding guys on the PP.
Mason LohreiWhat do they even have to offer that we would be interested in?
He may not have signed it but he would be trading for it...
You would be okay with Scheif or Helle or KFC etc... getting pissed off because Helle is making more than any of them?
It's hard to see anyone (maybe KFC) getting more than what Scheif and Helle are making for the near future.
b)When does he get bought out?
a) two years
b) one year
c) tomorrow

If they’re not willing to meet one of our needs for a high end defense prospect then move on.Wonder if we could pull something off like this, we'd only take on about 2 mil which is doable:
