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

[Hunter368]

Stay on topic or you will be excused from this thread I don’t care what fanbase your from. Discuss potential trade offers for Laine and nothing else. My patience has run out, tired of deleting OT posts & baiting posts.

Sounds awesome. How’d that work out though?

Pretty well. Imagine how awful this season would feel for the fans if it weren't for that one.

Id love Laine on the Devils but I don't see what could be dealt that would work for both teams.
Devils have no available C.
Nico - signed for 8 years, just named captain. No way i can see the Devils offer him up.
Hughes - Has not reached potential yet. He is generating tons of offence. I cannot see the Devils moving him now. I view this as an overpayment.
Zacha - not a good enough piece as a main piece. Best C we have that we could offer.

2021 1st (Devils) , 2021 1st (islanders), Foote , Zacha ?

That’s a massive overpay. Laine having a bad year and needs a new contract at the end of it. Isles 1st, Boqvist, Foote is Max I’d go. Anything else isn’t worth it

 

[Dumais]

With CBJ not making the playoffs. There's little to no reason to move Laine.

Doesnt take a genius to figure this out, but it does take a moron to think he will be traded for low ball offers. Jarmo just got a 1st+ for Savard, Foligno got 1st+ and people think Laine is going to be traded for less? smh

 

[Kranix]

The ask must be astronomical, or he's off the table. Dubas should have picked him up to play with Am34

 

[Fainting Couch]

Laine to Toronto . He would excel in a 4th line role there and get an easy cup ring.

They give rings for the participation cup now?

 

[Springfield Isotopes]

Sure by change Foote to something else

Thats a decent offer for a 7.5million player that playes like 3million kidd

 

[Panteras]

He’s destined to play with buddy Barky. Barkov will feed him pucks he can bury them.

Thing with Laine is though that I'm nearly not ready to write him off just yet, and I think no GM is either. He is just as likely to return back to 40 goal form next season as he is to continue regressing. He is a mystery box at the moment.

 

[LoveCBJ]

Taking offers for Laine, the one trick pony.

 

[YP44]

Tortz contract is up at the end of the year. The Blue Jackets need to see how he reacts with a different system before making a decision

ya but it is a hell of a trick.
I think Laine can have a similar career to Kessel, teams just need to not expect Ovi.

That seems like kind of an overpayment for where Laine is at right now. Underpayment for what he was traded for a few weeks ago, though. I'd probably ask for Devils 2022 1st instead of Islanders pick and that would potentially be worth for two lottery picks

 

[Blindsummit]

Dallas would be dumb not to grab him.

We are slow enough as it is without adding another slow player.

no way I would be supportive of the devils essentially giving up 4 1'st round picks for a one dimensional (yes very good) sniping scorer.

2021 1st devils off the table and then a package of any 2 of the remaining assets with fringe fillers would be max I would be willing to go.

How many years does Laine have until UFA? Is the expectation that he'll get some sort of bridge this offseason?

 

[The don godfather]

Patrik Laine
Scott Harrington

For

Ryan Strome
Chris Kreider
3rd Round Pick

Thats a swing and a miss go back to dugout

2 more years of control left

Laine has an early birthday April 19th so he'll be turning 23 here. So he should've 4 more years until he's a UFA.

Fine keep him then. I’m sure Torts will unlock that potential.

 

[The don godfather]

Fine keep him then. I’m sure Torts will unlock that potential.

They will get more then that pathetic offer.

 

[Flameshomer]

Gaudreau + Flames 2nd for Laine + one of the 1sts

 

[herzausstein]

His qualifying offer is 7.5M and he hasn't been playing like that this season in Columbus. I don't think him and Torts are a good match. One should go (Torts) but if they keep Torts they should trade Laine before Torts kills his value further.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Torts is gone after this year.

He has two years left via CBA, plus he has arb rights this summer. So in theory he could force himself to UFA in two years if he choose to do it and CBJ couldnt stop him.
