So glad this saga is over.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen more buzz around a solid but unspectacular young player.

On the surface, great return. When you really think about it though, all CBJ did was add another star who is not going to work with torts and it’s going to want out of there ASAP.

Rangers were not interested in coming close to what Winnipeg was willing to offer. The Rangers put 4 players out of bounds and didn’t budge on them.
Having said that, I honestly don’t think this is a great deal for either team. I think this is an attempt at a job-saving deal for both GMs.

Cord cutters. It finally catches up, and there's not much of a way out. Great thing about digital is that you can sub-segment your ads to customize it to the viewer. More ad $$, newer markets, products to advertise, etc. It doesn't change much for the talent.
You have enough games where you can get on different channels. Candidly it's something that disrupts studio broadcasting, but not really something that shakes up an industry, if anything you end up expanding your reach.

Glad Anaheim didn’t cave in, Columbus likely wanted Zegras.
Have fun in Winnipeg Dubois .

Disagree, I feel like Torts may be the exact type of coach that Laine needs.

I dont like this trade for CBJ. They needed Dubois more than they needed Laine who now is a very weird fit with CBJ with no center.
I'd be shocked if he is in even still with them by the next time we play them.
They are not the same Blue Jackets that were extremely tough to play against just a few seasons ago.

They’re still way tougher to play against than Winnipeg.
Winnipeg has to find a #1 defenseman like NOW.

Wasn’t Chevy known as a really stingy GM not long ago? Seems like he’s done nothing but overpay recently.

Winnipeg just fixed their center depth and now has one of the best in the league. PLD is only signed for 2 years tho that’s dangerous when you’re Winnipeg

Am I the only one who thinks Laine is such an overrated one trick pony?

If it took Laine, we never really had a chance.
Laine low-key kinda sucks but he has a reputation.

he’s like a Brendl which worked out. Both shoot except Laine gets into position to use it.

I'm with you, pretty much the exact opposite of the identity CBJ has established the last few years.
I'd prefer the center depth Winnipeg now has considering they have spent the last few trade deadlines trading away 1st rounders trying to fill that hole.
I'd put money on Dubois being a more successful player for Winnipeg than Laine in CBJ.

I really don't get this from a Columbus perspective because Torts is only going to get angrier.
He wanted PLD to play more defense and he's getting a guy who hasn't crossed the red line in his career.

They should have done whatever it took to mend the relationship with Dubois. Fire Torts, move the team to Quebec City, at the very least give him more than the paltry $5 million contract they cornered him into signing.. I mean BRADY SKJEI even got more money on his contract, and Strome only got $500k less on his. Pandemic or not. Incredible lack of thinking big picture.

Columbus can still trade Laine for a nice haul at the deadline. Columbus is just generally f***ed it seems, because no star player wants to stay there.

I hope for PLD's sake quitting on the team was worth it since he basically got traded from Columbus to Canadian Columbus.
