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.

You don’t want to see how Perfetti and Laine might play together?

Would you rank someone that has averaged 28 points per season over those 220 games higher than a 3C?
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.

Wonder 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

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

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.

Not sure that is a real thing - but if it is it should go away with the retention that would surely be part of the deal.

For all the no thanks, no Laine talk - it all depends on how much CBJ pays us to take him.

I would 100% be on board with McGroarty + Schmidt/Pionk for Laine and Jiricek, plus whatever it takes to balance it out. I miss Laine in a Jets jersey, the team immediately becomes twice as exciting if he's back and I would go to so many more games. I wouldn't mind Roslovic back at minimum wage, either.

If they’re not willing to meet one of our needs for a high end defense prospect then move on.

Personally I’d rather Jiricek but that’s not likely to happen.
