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

[rubikscube]

Love it. Elite center depth is how you win in the NHL

Scheifele
PLD
Stas
Lowry

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

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

26% of which player?

 

[AKAChip]

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...

Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.

 

[hockey20000]

wow bad trade for jets.. Laine is a proven 30 goal scorer who can hit 40... should be dubois plus 1st minamum... and not even roslovic involved

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

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

Yes. He's not good. Way overhyped here.

 

[Hunter368]

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

Jack is a 3rd liner and not valuable, maybe a 3rd rd pick value or a 3rd rd plus a 5th rd pick value. I can’t see anyone giving a 2nd rd pick for a soft 3rd liner.

Laine obviously is very valuable but didnt want to be here and had certain flaws.

PLD brings elite level centre ability, pest, physical, big body......plus he is known for his elite level offensive play and pushing play.....This kid is going to be fun to watch

 

[tbcwpg]

26% of which player?

The only one the Jets traded who was under contract at the time.

 

[dcypher]

Bye Laine. We hardly knew ye.

 

[Afterburner]

On the plus side, Laine Vs. Torts could be amusing

 

[KingBogo]

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.

I think we lost the better player, but have become a better team. Center depth wins championships and now we can run:

Scheifele
PLD
Stastny
Lowry

 

[Atoyot]

26% of which player?

The only one we could, Laine. Roslovic didn't have a contract.

 

[Daximus]

Going to be lots of upset fans until PLD proves himself. Hopefully that happens otherwise it's going to get messy around here.

 

[AKAChip]

No one is going to tell you that PLD isn’t great. And we all agree you have to give up talent to get talent. It doesn’t make today any less sad.

 

[tntkid]

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

This is another Selanne trade.

What a f***ing joke.

 

[Derfel]

Whatever team, either Winnipeg or Columbus, is going to lose Laine after this season. He's injured and keeps getting injured. He's not happy. So get something in return for him this year and mix it up.

Roslovic leaving is inconsequential in the long run.

I'm more upset that Winnipeg is retaining 25% salary for Laine this season.

 

[Daximus]

I think we lost the better player, but have become a better team. Center depth wins championships and now we can run:

Scheifele
PLD
Stastny
Lowry

Yeah that's some insane C depth that this team frankly has never had. We have the 1-2 center punch we have been looking for and are probably the deepest team down the middle in the division right now.

 

[tbcwpg]

This is another Selanne trade.

What a f***ing joke.

It's not. Laine is no Selanne and Dubois is no Kilger and Tverdovsky.

 

[Opado]

Guess it's a better return than Chad Kilger and Oleg Tverdovsky.

Sad sad day.

Not really..

 

[Makeshift We Are]

I think once the initial shock settles I'm going to be okay with this, especially if PLD signs long term at a reasonable AAV.... But right now, losing a player like Patty stings.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

The only one the Jets traded who was under contract at the time.

My Duh, thanks.

 

[antiqueslivers]

we got fleeced.... HARD. I doubt chevy is with the jets much longer to be honest. Maurice is the murderer of high end rookie talent. AWWWW I'm freaking out! what a nightmare!

 

[Tkachuky]

I think this will be good for you guys in the long run.

 

[PhilJets]

Time to cheer for the Jets.


But hopefully

Last year of Maurice and Chevy.

They had their 8 and 10 years....

 

[Kuznetsnow]

I really need to consider if this is an org I want to continue to invest in. PoMo and Wheeler over Laine. PLD might be great, but the way they handled Laine was really bad.

Can you or someone give me a quick rundown on the Laine - Wheeler thing?

 

[JetsFan815]

I am not emotionally attached to Laine at all. The guy publicly insulted his teammates in the past and asked to be traded. I am sure lots of players make trade requests but making them publicly? No bueno. Not upset in the slightest about moving on from him. I was more mad when we let Stempniak go than I am about trading Laine.

I hope Laine enjoys Columbus. I just hope he doesn't make comments in the public about how his linemates Bjorkstrand and Texier are not good enough for him. Torts is not gonna have the same patience with comments like this like Maurice did.

I am kinda chapped about Roslo being traded. He sucks as a player but I wanted to sit him all season just to make a point.
