I think jackets fans are going to be disappointed in the return for Laine
Nyqvist for Laine should work well. I like rumour Nyqvist+Laine.

Just like how we were "disappointed" in the returns for Jones, PLD, Anderson, Johansen, Nash...I think jackets fans are going to be disappointed in the return for Laine
Exactly that's how bad the OP's offer was.For the record, all of the Laine proposals that have been posted in the last few weeks have been from other teams fans....NOT CBJ fans...
Columbus immediately takes this. Hell they'd take probaly it for Askarov, let alone all the extras.
It all depends on the retention...people, for some reason, think that the cap market rates for Columbus don't apply to us. Laine isn't going to be treated as a Cap Dump and most people here are assuming that because we are so used to teams being up against the cap they HAVE to make a move...with Laine we don't if it doesn't work. We are trying to be nice to him but we are not just going to give him away which I feel like alot of fans are assuming here. If no deal works for Columbus that requires retention then Laine shows up to work in about a month's time at NationwideJust like how we were "disappointed" in the returns for Jones, PLD, Anderson, Johansen, Nash...
Swear to G-d some of y'all never learn.
The Jackets can't afford to lose Jenner. But yeah, the Preds do need playmakers more IMO.Add Novak and Jenner. Laine @50% is great value but I feel like they have enough goal scorers and could use a playmaker like a Guadreau or Giroux
I never said that once. I said if the team believed he was a top four dman then why resign carrier?? Now we are in a bad cap situation because of it and the team is clearly looking to move Fabbro.Because "Carrier was extended, therefore Fabbro is awful" is such a completely and utterly pants-on-head absurd attempt at insane troll logic that addressing it directly would be like trying to explain why the sky isn't orange. Fabbro isn't suddenly worse than he actually is because of the existence of other players.
Because. You. Need. Multiple. Top-4. Defensemen. More than four, because injuries happen.I never said that once. I said if the team believed he was a top four dman then why resign carrier??
Again, cap issues make this not work. Doesn’t matter the skill level. It simply cannot work due to CAP ISSUESNyqvist can certainly reach 50+ points.
Yeah such a bad offer lolExactly that's how bad the OP's offer was.
Laine would be worth it if he could stay healthy and also be consistently great but he can't do either.
Explain to me a better way to fix the cap? Obvious only other option is glass but nobody is taking himBecause. You. Need. Multiple. Top-4. Defensemen. More than four, because injuries happen.
And there are options other than "give Fabbro away as though he's bottom pairing" to address cap concerns. Even tho the team is already under the cap.
You keep repeating this and it still isn't true. Neither Fabbro nor Carrier are "bottom pair", in much the same way that Leon Draisaitl is not a "#2C".Again, cap issues make this not work. Doesn’t matter the skill level. It simply cannot work due to CAP ISSUES
Yeah such a bad offer lol
A bottom pair dman that we need to cap dump anyway.
If you're going to give someone away, give Glass away if you must. But acting like Fabbro is a valueless bottom pairing guy is a move that makes the Tolvanen loss look like sound hockey strategy.Explain to me a better way to fix the cap? Obvious only other option is glass but nobody is taking him
Seems reasonable. Askarov and Laine both need a change of scenery.
You still aren’t getting it. I’m done explaining this. I have said this many times now. You refuse to acknowledge.If you're going to give someone away, give Glass away if you must. But acting like Fabbro is a valueless bottom pairing guy is a move that makes the Tolvanen loss look like sound hockey strategy.
You are forgetting that Nashville will be getting a guy who is expensive and can't stay healthy and has never lived up to his promise.Again, cap issues make this not work. Doesn’t matter the skill level. It simply cannot work due to CAP ISSUES
Yeah such a bad offer lol

A low first round pick
A 35 year old Swede who overachieved last season and almost certainly won’t repeat that point total.
Askarov is the main piece. Nyquist and fabbro are cap dumps essentially in this trade to make room for Laine who is also being retained at 50% so it is another huge bonus for Nashville.
Again, fabbro is a cap casualty for us anyways and Tampa first is probably never an nhl player if you base it on odds.
Worse proposal ever
You are forgetting that Nashville will be getting a guy who is expensive and can't stay healthy and has never lived up to his promise.
Nyquist could very well fetch a secondounder rounder at the deadline for the argument of value.
Fabbro is also a solid defender and will stay in the NHL for a while.
Indeed.Take out Askarov, then it’s closer
So you are saying a guy that has 117 points in his last 129 games on a bad team and is still only 26 years old with 50% retention could be had for a late first that probably never plays in the nhl, a bottom pair dman (Fabbro I feel could be more than that but press resigning carrier and putting us in bad cap situation speaks volumes the other way) and a 35 year old overachieving winger?Indeed.
The more you take out the closer it gets.
This is exactly the hyperbole that the OP expects us to think about Laine.Gus and Patty have played in the same line, we have seen them on the ice extensively, together.
There's no question who is league elite and who's a dependable NHL roster player when you watch these people play
Their argument is one of depth. Nashville isn't exactly deep on the right side. Therefore, regardless of whether or not Fabbro ends up playing bottom pairing, a trade involving another player, like Glass, would make more sense. That's all they are saying. Whether or not you think Glass is untradeable, an assumption not everyone is going to make, is irrelevant to that point. Nashville quite simply needs right side defenders more than it needs bottom six forwards at the moment.You still aren’t getting it. I’m done explaining this. I have said this many times now. You refuse to acknowledge.
Fabbro was fine in the top 4. But we signed carrier to extension knocking Fabbro down to bottom pair or a cap casualty. Therefore making him expandable in a Laine trade proposal because he has to go now because we signed carrier back. I don’t see what’s so hard to grasp here. Or you refuse to acknowledge because you are clearly incorrect here.
Nobody wants glass. Not gonna happen. It sucks but now Fabbro has to go because of cap. I am legit not explaining this a fourth time to you for you to dance around the facts and talk other nonsense.
Have a good day sir.
Then you waive Glass and send him back to the minors, he costs you next to nothing in that case. Trotz has way more options for cap movement than needing to trade Fabbro if he doesn't want too.You still aren’t getting it. I’m done explaining this. I have said this many times now. You refuse to acknowledge.

I was going to reply but you pretty much covered it for me.Their argument is one of depth. Nashville isn't exactly deep on the right side.

Also, hopefully I'm not being presumptious when I say that the correct title is ma'am, not sir. "That chick from Ohio"
Way too much from NasvilleTo Columbus:
Askarov, Nyquist, Fabbro, TB 2025 1st
To Nashville:
Laine 50% retained
