Not if, when.Yeah tbh sounds like Canadian hockey media with new toy syndrome. Just wait for the stories if they ever do a 180![]()

If they even asked him. We’ve seen the type of due diligence NHL teams are capable of.Just realized Vincent went to Habs AHL, so they had basically witness information of what happened in that room
I’m sure that Boston College law grad. Kent Hughes did some due diligence.If they even asked him. We’ve seen the type of due diligence NHL teams are capable of.
Do you really think Hughes didn't vet a player like Laine, who has a reputation for being a cancer on the team?If they even asked him. We’ve seen the type of due diligence NHL teams are capable of.
Stojí za vypočutie
Porty si pomýlil rok, ale okolo 4:45 vo videu to začína byť zaujímavé
When teams don’t properly vet Mike Babcock nothing surprises me.Do you really think Hughes didn't vet a player like Laine, who has a reputation for being a cancer on the team?
Worth the listen
Porty got the year wrong, but around 4:45 in the video it gets interesting
Until such time as the full story is told by those who lived it, it's all editorializing. There may have been a stark "get rid of Laine and Elvis" statement much as Portzline is saying, or it may have been more along the line of what you're suggesting - we don't know.jones + atkinson were basically saying "get rid of the star you just traded for and build around us" – but atkinson's game cratered without panarin, and jones wasn't willing to even talk about a long-term deal with the jackets.
there is no way that those guys got moved because they told jarmo to get rid of laine, as portzline surmises.

Foligno was UFA after that season.Wow that is "chilling" where the players said get rid of Elvis and Laine and instead they get rid of the leadership team who said that.
We dodged the PLDonkey bullet. Blake blew his brains out on the trade and didn't have to. Local rumours were the Habs were offering a late first and a B prospect. A fraction of what Blake offered.4. Said it when it happened, I'll say it again: if you had a plan to take the knees out from under a team, you couldn't do much better than what PLD did and the way he did it. 4 dimensional chess - do not mess with him, he'll make you cry in front of Radiohead.
.
since the beginning that acquiring Laine marked the end of the high accountability team-focused club that we had.

Okay, now look at the facts:
Jones wanted to play in a big market. Anyway, we can be glad he left, seeing his play in Chicago.
Everyone saw the reason for the Atkinson trade, we needed a playmaker and Cam wasn't that player for a long time, besides he had a long contract, btw look at his play in Philly. He seems to have a good relationship with Laine as well.
Gus wasn't traded until two years after the events and he played great on the line with .. Laine in the 2021/22 season.
Werenski told Finnish reporters that Patrik is a top NHL player when healthy and hopes to return for this year's World Championships in the Czech Republic. Although he didn't have to say that. And he seems to have a good relationship with him as well.
For Foligno, in addition to Nick's expiring contract, he was actually just loaned to Toronto. We're past the first round.
And if there was a problem with Laine in future seasons, one of the reporters would surely find out.
Some player would have told him. And if he was worried during the Jarmo time, he wouldn't have had a problem after he left.
jones + atkinson were basically saying "get rid of the star you just traded for and build around us" – but atkinson's game cratered without panarin, and jones wasn't willing to even talk about a long-term deal with the jackets.
there is no way that those guys got moved because they told jarmo to get rid of laine, as portzline surmises. they got moved because 1) cam was clearly not the same player anymore and 2) the roster still wouldn't be good had jones stayed, but would've been a disaster had they lost him for nothing.
they had to do a tear-down. laine stayed for the same reason werenski did – because they were impact players in their early-20s who could've become building blocks. one did, one didn't.
laine was apparently never a fit in the room, and the laine experiment didn't work out, but portzline's framing of this is journalistic malpractice.
Well hopefully you're wrong... Our FA acquisition this year is dependant on staying healthy despite getting older and having injury concerns in the past. He also went through something similar by taking some time off and healing properlyHe escaped CBJ but I doubt he can run from an injury prone body. Sure doesn't get better with age son...
Turn the page. Camp is looming now with one less distraction.

Nope sold his condo and said under no circumstance will he play on this team again.Harris bottom pairing. Signed cheap with some upside.
Why Jackets dump Laine for nil? Was it just the money?
It was addition by subtraction on multiple levels - money being one of them.Harris bottom pairing. Signed cheap with some upside.
