News: Columbus taking calls on multiple players.

[Mrfenn92]

A 9 million caphit for 2 more years. Laine not really worth much. We will roll the dice on him but not give up much.

Fair but Columbus isn’t just giving him away

 

[ViD]

Provorov with respectable 23 points in 46 games playing for a bad offensive team while munching 23 minutes a night and being paid around $4m a year ?

Yeah, right, nobody wants him

 

[JKG33]

Laine has gotta be one of the most overhyped players of all time

 

[bland]

Not that I am supporting this, but LA is already retaining part of Provorov's deal as part of that three way deal this summer.

Anybody recall a team that is already retaining money on a player trying to acquire him? Is it forbidden?

 

[ViD]

Why did they even trade for Provorov in the first place? I don't understand any of the Jackets moves like the horrendous Severson and Gaudreau contracts.

Trading for Provorov and Severson was a move to bolster team defense and attempt to contend for a play off spot.

Now that the plan has failed, it might be worth trading Provorov giving his contract and the fact that Kings retained a solid bit of his salary

I think the plan was to insulate the kids with some decent veterans to start competing for a playoff spot. Something Buffalo needs to do. It just hasn't worked out for a myriad of reasons. The kids have been their best players.

It isnt forbidden. It is forbidden for a team to re-acquire a player within a year when the other team is retaining (not the gaining team)

Laine has gotta be one of the most overhyped players of all time

Idk the fact that he slots in alright as a first liner when he is recovering from a new long term injury every time he plays lol

I think he's a guy you should root for at this point of his career for sure

 

[Leviathan]

This just in, Columbus has joined a throng of other NHL Franchises in being willing to move players no other team wants.

well, Laine and Provorov are good players and they're still relatively young. so, if there's a way to smooth over the money, there probably would be some interest. Laine is injury prone but he is 25 and his deal is only 3 years. I could still see someone taking a chance -he's far better than he's shown in Columbus this year.

Those aren't players no other team wants.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Jenner not want out at all?
Getting into his 30s now and hasn't been in a playoff game for nearly 4 years

 

[ViD]

Jenner not want out at all?
Getting into his 30s now and hasn't been in a playoff game for nearly 5 years now.

He’s the captain and the player with most games for the franchise

You don’t trade someone like that easily

 

[JKG33]

Absolutely not. His lazy ass makes him one of the more unlikable players in the league

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Of course it won't be easy but I'd be surprised if he wants to play out the final 2 years of that deal in Columbus.

It's not working there. Give the Captain a chance to win somewhere else.

 

[JKG33]

It's mindblowing that Guadreau making almost 10 bananas isn't even in the top 3 worst cap hits on that team.

Almost as mindblowing as that GM still having a job, for this long too

 

[Cypher]

Jackets move Provorov, then trades Jenner for Byram

 

[Coffee]

If you guys decide to move Jenner, please make WPG your first call

Why not Vancouver ?

 

[Richiebottles]

Laine to the Habs would be great.

We sorely lack scorers.

 

[Seanaconda]

Absolutely not. His lazy ass makes him one of the more unlikable players in the league

Is he really lazy tho ? Like he's just that talented that he can come back from getting hurt what seems like constantly and then preform to a top line level? Maybe he is naturally just amazing but it's impressive imo

i could see him putting a lot of work into his recoveries and whatever cuz if he was ltired I don't think anyone would question it but he keeps coming back and at a high level .

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

Fair but Columbus isn’t just giving him away

That's all we going. A 8 million caphit bring quite an asset.

 

[Viqsi]

Jackets move Provorov, then trades Jenner

Nope.

 

[frederixx]

I'm expecting a lot of team calling about Laine. In the right system, he' could be a great player

 

[ffh]

Laine back to Winnipeg for iafallo and Stanley.

I wouldn't trade him for either. He can't make the top 6 no chance no how. And no fit with his game on bottom 6.

 

[Nevins]

Laine to the Habs would be great.

We sorely lack scorers.

Nope don’t want him…

 

[Bone Density]

Nope.

I'd assume Voronkov is close to untouchable as well? I really like his and Marchenko's game. Probably two guys you'd continue to build around.
