Confirmed with Link: Laine + Roslovic (Extended) to Columbus for Dubois + 3rd (Mod Warning Post #290)

[wpgfishfan]

And we retain salary????????? f*** me Chevy

 

[Romang67]

Splitting up CSW and putting Connor with an offensive play driver could be exciting from what we've seen of Connor so far this season.

 

[Atoyot]

Jets f***ing retain 26%. We really couldn't get more than a 3rd?

 

[Finnflash]

Ah Frik..................whatever. Not a great trade in my opinion but for me its done................back to focusing on perfetti

 

[PhilJets]

Boooooohhhh


A freakin 3rd!!!

 

[bustamente]

I guess Winnipeg is not good

 

[AKAChip]

The thing is I don't see Laine signing long term in Columbus. He's not likely going to like the defensive system Torts plays. PLD has a small connection here with his dad so he might sign.

We should have signed Laine’s dad to drive our zamboni or something.

 

[Buffdog]

I like it. 1C and 2C set (assuming PLD signs here long term).

IF (big if) Samberg and heinola get integrated this year, and perfetti on the wing in the top 6 as wheeler declines, we have a young and competitive team for years.

No more trading picks at the deadline to fill holes.

 

[Jets 31]

I love it, great deal for both teams. Laine wanted out, PLD wanted out and both GM’s gave them what they wanted.

Thanks Laine & Jack, wish you guys the best.

PLD welcome to Winnipeg, we’re going to love you here.

Man i hope you are right. I don't care who is a Winnipeg Jet as long as it makes us better.

 

[Edgar Halliwax]

He wasn't going to sign here long term. That was pretty obvious. If Liane thought Mo was tough on him, wait until he takes a game off under Torts...

 

[chaos4]

This trade..... My tummy hurts.

 

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

Cheveldayoff got HOSED. Wow. Dubois and a 3rd for Laine AND Roslovic. Come on. He couldn't get a guy like David Savard or Gabriel Carlsson? Wow, that's an awful return. I'm not saying that Dubois is bad, but Cheveldayoff could have gotten more. Kekalainen fleeced him.

 

[Zub]

I have no clue what to say about this, just a sad day.

 

[Boxertim]

Watch PLD play 3rd line wing. Sheesh

 

[Zippity]

Some one refresh the Sellane deal

 

[Romang67]

Man i hope you are right. I don't care who is a Winnipeg Jet as long as it makes us better.

Same. It's been a while since I was a bigger fan of individual players than the team. If PLD makes this team better, I'm in favor of the trade, regardless if Laine is the more exciting player.

 

[BigZ65]

PLD is an RFA after the deal, so we have him for minimum 3 years.

4 seasons to UFA.

Underreported aspect here is that Laine’s QO next season is $8.25 million. We keep Laine in a flat cap and that means Connor or Ehlers go. Given Laine’s lack of commitment and the other guys having term it’s a no brainer that he is the one moved.

This swap opens up at least $5 million in cap space next season for the Jets.

Glad we got a bonafide top 6 player with control back.

Sad to lose Laine. I love unique talents and personalities. I wish him all the best.

I wish the Jets could have gotten more for Laine, but he was a bit of a difficult player to value.

I think this might improve the Jets' ability to compete for a cup because it fills a gaping hole in their roster, and PLD is still very young. The Jets are now near the top of the NHL at C. They are scary good down the middle.

The Jets are very strong in goal scoring talent with Connor, Scheifele, Ehlers, PLD and Perfetti in the pipeline. Basically, they can throw out two outstanding pairs in Scheifele-Connor and PLD-Ehlers, and supplement with Wheeler and eventually Perfetti. The Jets will miss Laine's PP contribution, but I doubt it will be a big drop-off with a new configuration.

Overall, I think this could work out very well for the Jets.

But I'm still sad to see Laine go.

Interestingly, I had a chat last evening with a couple of Jets fans that are more casual. Neither were all that concerned about losing Laine. They liked his scoring of course, but viewed him as an incomplete player.

 

[tntkid]

This franchise is done.
Good luck getting fans back in the seats after this bonehead move.

They can't keep star players that they develop and Chevy is a goof.
Fire Chevy now.

 

[PhilJets]

Not a fan of the trade but this is true.

LA won Cups with no elite wings but had Kopitar-Carter-Richards down the middle. That's basically what you have in Scheifele-PLD-Stastny

And that Dman who anchors Canadian defense when they play best on best

 

[Buffdog]

We also don't know the extent of Laine's injury, or how it may/may not relate to his previous back problems.

 

[John Agar]

You laugh but it’s legitimately not impossible.

You note the emoji I used...

I was questioning maybe you were omitting that possibility...

I wasn't laughing...

This is Paul Maurice we are talking about...

Now I'm laughing...

 

[JetsFan815]

Laine for Dubois is a far swap. But is Roslovic's value just a 3rd in this league?

WHAT A FUC___ JOKE WORST TRADE IN NHL HISTORY, FU JETS.
