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

[archanfelnsx]

They will get more then that pathetic offer.

Strome is a decent 2C or great 3C
Kreider played well under Torts and is ok on the 2nd line
3rd rounder is a 3rd rounder

Fine you drive a hard bargain, throw in a 4th as well.

Kreider-Strome-Atkinson

Think of the ratings!

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 ?

Laine wouldnt even get half of that

hes a one dimensional player with attitude/coaching issues

 

[Hunter368]

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

Two years via CBA and arb rights. He in theory could force UFA route in two years and CBJ couldn’t stop him. Not saying he would but he could in theory.

Laine minimum will get a 1st round pick. Any team would start with that.

So essentially the only "safe" bridge would be 1 year? If they sign him for 2 he could find a way to walk? That kind of sucks. Just trying to see what the alternative would be to trading him or locking him up long-term. I think if he's on a bridge and struggles next year he'll still have pretty high value I would think. If he struggles during year 1 of a 5+ year deal at $8M+ though, then yeah that changes a lot.

Start with, fine. But go far past? Not likely

a first and a middling prospect

To f***ing Montreal. Do it Marc The Garbage Man.

Jarmo is a wizard he got 2 first round picks for Savard and foligno who are clunkers at the end. Laine hes gonna get a lot.

Let me take a stab with the Rangers . Laine for kappo straight up. No picks in this deal.

 

[Whitsmith803]

Thomas, Robert
Dunn, Vince
Sanford, Zachary

Laine, Patrik
Kukan, Dean

 

[cupcrazyman]

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

No Thank You.

 

[CBJx614]

You want Laine?

Take what you consider a fair offer and add a 1st +top prospect.

CBJ are in no rush to trade him, doesn't matter what the perception is, or whats fair trade value.. We are in no rush to move him. The only way Jarmo is going to trade him is if he gets an offer he cannot turn down. Anything else will get a "no thanks we'll keep what we have"

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

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

So basically 4 years of Laine for 1 year of Gaudreau, There's noway Gaudreau would sign long term with Columbus i see him going home to Philly next year. So that 2nd needs to be a lot more then that.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Jarmo is a wizard he got 2 first round picks for Savard and foligno who are clunkers at the end. Laine hes gonna get a lot.

Not with a $7,500,000 qualifying offer in a flat cap world he wont, Name me a lot of potential contenders that can afford a $7,500,000 qualifying offer?

You can keep both of those fine players. Thanks.

I’d rather keep Laine. Kakko is trending closer to a bust than to a high ceiling player

 

[The don godfather]

Yep rangers aren't a fit in my opinion.

 

[Boxscore]

How about...

TO PHI:
Laine

TO CLB:
JVR
Frost
1st

 

[Fazkovsky]

Is he rly available?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I’d rather keep Laine. Kakko is trending closer to a bust than to a high ceiling player

Wrong, like usual when you post about Ranger players.

They'll keep Kakk instead of the sub .5 PPG dude with the 8M QO.

Just trying to see what the alternative would be to trading him or locking him up long-term. I think if he's on a bridge and struggles next year he'll still have pretty high value I would think. If he struggles during year 1 of a 5+ year deal at $8M+ though, then yeah that changes a lot.

If the player files for arb then the team determine the term. If the team files for arb rights the player determines the term. IIRC

So in theory Laine could file for arb, CBJ cannot stop that and the team would then set 1 or 2 year term. Two years walks him to UFA. If they file for a one year term, Laine just files for arb rights again and off he goes to UFA again in two years from now.

So the risk for CBJ is, why would Laine sign long term in CBJ if he has any worries about the roster/future (true 1C to support him) unless CBJ overpays him to stay. Again I’m not saying this is how it will happen, I’m just explaining the CBA rules and Laine/CBJ options.....I have no idea how it will unfold. Maybe Laine signs an 8 year deal for 8 million this summer.....I have no idea. CBJ has begone rebuilding/restructuring which they needed to do and maybe Laine likes what he sees and stays long term.

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

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

2 years.

 

[Lebowski]

I’m thinking his value has dropped a bit over the last couple months. Hard to say what would be a fair return for him at this point.

 

[VT]

Don't forget the Seattle factor.

CBJ would probably defend:

forwards: Atkinson, Roslovic, Domi, Bjorkstrand, Nyquist/Robinson, Jenner and Laine
defensmen: Jones, Werenski, Gavrikov
goalies: Korpisalo

Seattle can`t take Texier, Bemstrom, Peeke, Merzlikins.

So if players, only one forward. And sorry but draft pics or not TOP prospects... .
