it's refreshing to see that throwing around long-term contracts with no-trade clauses has repercussions occasionally.

Too bad, too as the city while still having some serious problems are doing some extremely interesting/ good things.

I think either play hockey where his wife wants to practice or retire. in the meantime, he'll use the terms of his contract to his advantage.

Minnesota is paying him $1 million more than Morrissey to not play for them...that's crazy.

Rangers are still in a good enough position Cap wise to grind out another season with him, sign Lindgren, and go back to the well another time...Maybe Drury used the trade tactics as a motivator for him, to step up his game, because Schneider re-signed at $2.2 million looked better than him in the playoffs. I think Trouba's situation comes to an end next year, when the Rangers have to re-up on their star goalie and Lafreniere.

Crazy how some of the guys on that Team North America from 2016 have fallen, and some are the best in the world today (McDavid, Matthews, Mackinnon, Helle)

Laf, Stamkos, Hyman, Reinhart, Thomas....Scheifele probably better than all those.

Mark is a unique guy who likes to play the game his way. Very versatile tool kit offensively but lacks passion and consistency of effort without the puck. Mark would be a depth piece on this team so I can see why they went a different direction.

You would need them to retain some salary and probably take a contract back (Iafallo?), but a freshly engaged Laine could be a hell of a boost, and if that is enough for Ehlers to re-sign then maybe that gives us a big jump forward. I've been thinking there is something there with one of Columbus' high end D prospects and Rutger. Maybe Chevy works out something big that includes Laine?

Do you actaully like the Jets and want them to win???????? ffs move on
I don't think Laine and Ehlers help us take the next step in the playoffs.
I'm ready to try something else

"There really aren't a lot of free agents out there. If (teams) have the (salary) cap (space) today, they'll probably still have it tomorrow. I know there are teams that are still interested. Teams keep checking in to see if there's anything new. I tell them, 'You guys have to be comfortable with (Laine), and I can't help you.' I don't know the player personally. I'm not one to try and trick people either, so (we) made him available to chat (when he's cleared)."
- Don Waddell
Laine is eligible to be traded while in the program, but Columbus Blue Jackets president and general Don Waddell told The Athletic that interested parties want to speak with the player before making a move to acquire him. No team, including the Blue Jackets, is allowed to contact Laine while he remains in the program.
