Speculation: Laine on the move again? (Mod warning OP)

[Hi ImHFNYR]

If they actually move him, it just goes to show how much NHL GMs actually know. Everyone on here knew that Tortorella and Laine was a match made in hell except for Jarmo apparently.

It really is amazing how many blatantly terrible moves GMs and coaches make on the regular in the NHL

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

They traded with the Leafs twice in as many days.. Why not Laine to the Leafs tomorrow?

Yeah sure, Laines qualifying offer is $7,500,000 The Leafs can't afford him long term. Sure trade him to Toronto and then Toronto can re trade him this summer perhaps.

Laine to LA for Turcotte, pick + contract(s) to balance cap.

Most I’d do is Kupari.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Jarmo probably wants a first-round pick

Other than that, I see him going to LA, Florida, Colorado or Edmonton.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Isn’t he a free agent?

Not giving up assets for a non-playoff run.

No he's not a free agent? He's an RFA with a $7,500,000 qualifying offer.

Thanks for the clarification, still pass.

Colorado should swoop in, he’s great friends with Rantanen, and he and MacK could ruin their hockey careers and really commit to Fortnite

That would be such a dynamic top 6.

Well the power play could def use him right now hahaha

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Laine + Domi For Tkachuk + Bennett

True that, He'd help anyones power play right now.

 

[George Lebay]

Suzuki + Brook + Lehkonen for Laine 50% retained.

lol

Rather package those 4 1sts and go after Eichel and try to get someone who can actually draw attention away from Laine.

Seems like bad asset management unless someone massively overpays.. I mean you always listen to know what the market is like. But I highly doubt he's moved with such a young and inexperienced team. Package those firsts and make some moves to add to the team.

 

[Montecristo]

Whats columbus want? Centers? D? Picks?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

The way he's playing, That $7,500,000 is going to be hard to swallow. In a flat cap world i'm not sure that too many teams can take that salary on. Unless you're a bottom feeder.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

dylan strome for Laine

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

The need Center help, So something based around that, I'd imagine.

 

[Legend123]

To MTL!

for 50% of our profits in the playoffs

you saying Eichel+Torts = match made in heaven?

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Laine for Krejci and Frederic (2 centers)

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Laine for Zacha +

Beecher studnicka frederic steen and a 1st? That enough centers?

 

[CBJx614]

I'm saying find a new coach and go into next season with an entirely new identity.

who the heck owns cbj ? jarmo butchered the team 2 years ago when he could have got 1st for bobby and panarin , while also wasted assets for duchene and nyquist .when it was obvious trying to get out of the east that season was impossible against like tbay-wash-pitt-bos . then he blew the anderson/domi trade . the laine trade . and originallythe torts hiring . you poor cbj fans

 

[violaswallet]

I’m a Florida fan: I would love him but right now we could only do a four quarters for a dollar trade which doesn’t make sense.

I wonder if the Devils would offer up Nico/Hughes for him? That could be a decent combination actually
