I'm mad that I don't even know what to be mad about anymore.
Adam Fantilli is not owed a new contract until after Laine's contract was already going to expire.fantilli deal.
We're just flippin' Pattys. (His name's NOT RICK!)what killed us is Pat saying he would never play for the blue jackets again, if he came back and played two months and showed he still has all the talent in the world we would have got a nice package. we have a good prospect pool. im okay with this deal. Patty was never Patty in Columbus he was always Pat here.
I cannot imagine any scenario in which that cap space gets used anytime within the next year.
fantilli's ELC expires the same summer laine's current contract does, so it wouldn't impact it.fantilli deal.
better trade provorov just to be safe!Harris had some choice comments about Provorov in the past, trading one locker room headache for another?
/s
By making it clear he didn't want to be here. It's exactly what Carter did. If anything Carter had more of a reason to want out than Laine.Can you explain me how? He worked his contract honestly (I don't count last season, concussions don't help anyone), he improved a lot in all ways the season before last.
Who also forced his way out of town, multiple towns actually.What stings the most now is we completely lost our 3rd overall pick track. The pick that was our best 1st round pick in years, likely only behind Werenski pick
Until we know what happened last season, we can't comment on anything. Besides, Carter should have played better.By making it clear he didn't want to be here. It's exactly what Carter did. If anything Carter had more of a reason to want out than Laine.
Laine extended here knowing what he was doing.
Carter had just signed long term in Philly to a contending team and then was blindsided by his trade.
Obviously we don't know everything about what's happening with Laine, but this is a trade that reeks of "whatever, just get him outta the organization so we can move on"
You sure about that? [insert meme here]$8 million off the books ? We are talking an elite 26 years old forward we just lost for nothing and we even had to add a pick like we were in a cap crunch
You’re getting it now!Surely I didn’t expect us to get an elite level player in return but I was hoping we can get a slightly overpaid but true top 4 d man in return even if he was 30-32 year old like Matheson, in this case Laine is nothing but a cap dump as we could probably get Harris for a 2nd pick
Draft wizard Jarmo’s 2nd best pick is a locker room cancer, that doesn’t fit the narrative lmaoWhat stings the most now is we completely lost our 3rd overall pick track. The pick that was our best 1st round pick in years, likely only behind Werenski pick
It sure gives them plenty of room to sign Sillinger. LolI cannot imagine any scenario in which that cap space gets used anytime within the next year.
I agree that there will be no use of cap space "next year" to the extent that term means acquiring roster players during the 2024-25 season.I cannot imagine any scenario in which that cap space gets used anytime within the next year.
It's not. Broken clock.The craziest part in all of this is that now I’m even more confused on if this account is credible or not lmao
The two situations aren’t even comparable. You need to stay out of that Florida sun - it’s getting to you.Man, Laine really screwed this team over. Jeff-Carter-esque.
