Value of: Laine + 1st

[north49er]

Laine for RNH

Just what the Oilers need....another forward with no defensive game.

 

[DavidBL]

Not having to play with a legit setup man isn’t helping his case. If there’s a team that’s on the lookout for a big scoring winger to pair with a playmaking center, those #’s will rise back up to what they were when he was playing in Winnipeg (because of Scheiffle, not Little).

Isn't Voracek a pretty good play maker?

 

[GOilers88]

I feel like you're looking for a Laine for Holloway type of deal.

If his cap hit and QO wasn't so exceedingly high and Edmonton so cap crunched I might propose it, but Holloway is looking like a real good player and his value on an ELC is too good for the Oilers.

I've wanted him alongside JP in Edmonton for a while now, but I don't think Bourgault will be as attractive and I don't see anything else there. But am I close in my guess?

 

[Marioesque]

Isn't Voracek a pretty good play maker?

He is but his instinct is to play the puck to the front of the net and go for tip ins and such. Laine isn't a tipper so much, he plays further out to find open ice for a shot. So most of the passes from Jake go to Jenner or who ever is the net front man.

 

[Cotton]

I don't know how many elite snipers you would count on for a shutdown role, but what can I say...

ya got me!

He has 16 goals in his last 66 games, that doesn’t sound very elite.

 

[Kurrilino]

Dear OP can we clarify what you are looking for exactly?

You state that you are looking for prospects while some folks here talk about established veteran centers.

I would really be interested in offering something from the Kings treasures but i don't know what

 

[WhoTagz]

First, Laine is 23 and a top line sniper, something every team needs.
Second, the 1st is this years and can be Chicago's or CBJs since they are so close in the standings.
Third, the other 1st could be included as well.

CBJ needs listed in order of importance's:
Centers. (prospects)
Stay at home Dmen. (under 30)
Prospects. (center/dmen)
Picks. (1st/2nd)

Other assests likely available:
Domi
Korpi
Nyquist
Kukan
Cap Space

what would it take to get him on the rangers?

 

[Dumais]

Had no one to feed him, look at CBJs center depth. It was only this year that he's had a natural playmaker to play with, Nyquist and Voracek. And keep in mind, he got traded last year in-season to a new team and with his injury keeping him out all of December this season, I don't see how you can use his last 66 games against him or a predicator of what type of player he is. He's got one of the best (if not the best ie Elite) one-timers currently in the game. He reads the play well enough to put himself in position to score and despite public opinion; he isn't as bad on D as some people like to claim. I've seen far worst defense in my time and again...he's a LW sniper! And you are talking about his D! WTF?!?

 

[Dumais]

what would it take to get him on the rangers?

We need Center prospects, got lots of 2nd/3rd line centers (ruling out Strome) already, so if you got one of them in the pipeline then maybe something there.
Don't really see any D men that could fit CBJs current needs...
And why is the Rangers trying to acquire another winger again?...

 

[BatVader]

Pierre Luc Dubois?

Nope. He’s not going anywhere.

 

[SUX2BU]

Pierre Luc Dubois?

 

[Buck Dancer]

what would it take to get him on the rangers?

Cap space, which the Rangers don't have

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

Provorov for Laine?

 

[General Disarray]

Laine + 1st for PLD

 

[BatVader]

Laine + 1st for PLD

Not a chance

 

[KniespassZegras]

played through alot of injuries as well.

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

played through alot of injuries as well.

As I suggested in the thread earlier. Laine for Boeser switch up the scenery for both players. Both are young and proven goal scorers who have 40 goal potential. Laine has more baggage but it’s hard to find similar players in almost the same situation with cap working out.

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

I don't see how you can use his last 66 games against him or a predicator of what type of player he is.

Can we use his last few seasons in Winnipeg? Because those were really underwhelming as well.

 

[Hunter368]

Not a chance

The correct answer is “hell no” from Winnipeg. Winnipeg needs to make PLD a very rich young man, 5-8 years contract sign him soon please bc his price keeps going up due to his great play.

[Just A Bit Outside]

Laine for Turcotte +

 

[TaketheCannoli]

I can see that, but pair him with a #1 Center and you get a serious scoring threat.

I don't follow all the teams and know who is coming up in their systems. Maybe a team in the top 8 of their division needs more scoring for a cup run and has a young center that could be traded. Or a center that needs a change of scenery and still has the potential for top line.

IDK, just checking.

PS, still need a good young stay at home dman, someone that can help with the rebuild.

How many teams have two young franchise/superstar centers so the deal could make sense for them?

 

[Necrobutcher]

He had the best PPG of his career in his last season in Winnipeg.

 

[Sniped90]

Not really the type of center we need.

really dont have a choice, if you get a #1,2 center then you take it for a one dimensional player. not only that RNH would be amazing team morale wise and over all good player. also hes the kind of center that youd get in return for laine plus a 1st because hes on such a great contract. but oilers still would say no more than likely as laine is purely a rental unless he takes a hit on his next contract.

 

[Easternbull]

New Jersey would be a good fit and they have the assets to get the deal done.

Carolina has the capspace but would Jarmo settle for Kotkaniemi and or Jarvis?

Lou tried last summer so maybe Patrik is headed to long Island?

Any real news or rumors regarding an extension for PLD?

Dubois is a stud and hope coach Lowry is giving him enough icetime compared to 55, IMHO Mcdavid and Scheiffele lack in leaderhip and D-game to be elite nr 1 on wining teams.
