Who’s going to trade for him? What appeal does Laine bring to a team right now?
Don't you hate a player (in this case Laine)? Let's say due his health/mental issues... would be a better trade.Assuming we're talking about a summer trade, if Carolina flames out of the playoffs again after not scoring enough goals, they might start to think about it. They like buy low opportunities, like the Burns and Pacioretty acquisitions. They're willing to use their cap that way for veteran players as long as they don't have to spend assets to get them. Pacioretty was a risky acquisition that didn't work out for them. I see Laine as another risky add, but with potentially bigger payoff, and they're in a position where they have to start taking more risks.
I say the odds of a deal like this are pretty good if Laine can come back and play a few decent games. If he doesn't come back this year then it will be hard to trade him over the summer.

I don’t think it works quite that way. From both the mental mindset as well as Florida buying on him.Florida is obvious buyer, his mental problems are gone at the moment joining with his mate sasha
It's actually referencing this article:Could the Finns explain the text? I doubt that the translation using DeepL is accurate. Btw, the words of Davidson and now Ehler that they hope he will want to return ...

Yes, I've noticed him before. But I don't see any reason to subscribe to articles because of one article.It's actually referencing this article:
Blue Jackets‘ Patrik Laine in players assistance, still feeling the love from former teammates
COLUMBUS — There is a large mural of Patrik Laine painted on the side of Nationwide Arena that greets visitors who come to watch the Columbus Blue Jackets. Unfortunately, that’s the only way to see on...www.winnipegfreepress.com
Yeah, it was confirmed in the local Columbus paper, too.Dont know if mentioned here but in finnish news they said Laine has put him downtown home up for sale
The reason is questionable. It could be because of a possible trade, but he can end his career too.Yeah, it was confirmed in the local Columbus paper, too.
Or, as someone in the other thread said, he's just moving into a different place.The reason is questionable. It could be because of a possible trade, but he can end his career too.
That is why I asked for an explanation of those words and also the Finnish translation. Unfortunately, I did not receive a reply.The nonsense with him quitting hockey needs to stop. He’s not going to walk away from what he loves and gets paid very well to do .. he’s taking care of his mental health.. all the speculation stems from a vague statement or 2, and then You have translation issues . I’d put money that we see him in the NHL to start next year.. Davidson is making a comment trying to convey that it’s a serious situation for him .
Well, Laine is the wrong guy. He doesn't want to score anymore and would rather focus on being a below average C than using his shot.Carolina flames out of the playoffs again after not scoring enough goals, they might start to think about it
Here's my translation. It seems like the Finnish article is just a translation and shortening of the original English article:Could the Finns explain the text? I doubt that the translation using DeepL is accurate. Btw, the words of Davidson and now Ehler that they hope he will want to return ...

And that’s it , same with JD and what he was trying to convey.. we’re not thinking about hockey right now , we are focusing on his health … from that people take and run with a notion he may walk away .. like he’s in a mindset to make permanent decisions …Here's my translation. It seems like the Finnish article is just a translation and shortening of the original English article:
A close friend says: This is how Patrik Laine is feeling
Columbus shared some sad news on 29 Jan. Patrik Laine enrolled in the NHLPA assistance program. In North America, it has been widely reported that it is due to mental health problems.
There has been very little news after his enrollment. Now Laine's former team mate from Winnipeg Jets, Nikolaj Ehlers, has commented on the Finn's state in an interview with the Winnipeg Free Press.
"We spent almost every day together in Winnipeg. It's hard to hear that he isn't playing, when you know how much he loves playing.", says Ehlers.
Ehlers told what Laine's state is right now.
"He feels quite well. Mental health is more important than anything else. It's crazy how things work. Some days you are perfectly fine, the others you aren't. In his case, it's about being away from the ice, having people to talk with, and recovering.", the Danish forward says.
During his NHL career, Laine has been criticizing himself harshly in the media. In Winnipeg, people got used to him telling himself off after weaker games.
"A big part of that was him being himself. He was making jokes at his own expense. I mocked him as well and he mocked me. That's just how it worked. I think everyone in this league is very demanding of himself. You have to, in order to stay in the league. But perhaps he was more harsh on himself than some others.", Ehlers evaluates.
There is currently no info on Laine's potential return.
"It's bigger than hockey. I really hope he will return."

There's also a newer article in that site, but it is also just a translation of the original article in the Columbus Dispatch (about selling his house).

For the sake of discussion only, let me play the cynic (even though it's not what I actually believe). Laine quitting Columbus is what needs to stop.The nonsense with him quitting hockey needs to stop. He’s not going to walk away from what he loves and gets paid very well to do .. he’s taking care of his mental health.. all the speculation stems from a vague statement or 2, and then You have translation issues . I’d put money that we see him in the NHL to start next year.. Davidson is making a comment trying to convey that it’s a serious situation for him .
Not sure I understand this.… from that people take and run with a notion he may walk away .. like he’s in a mindset to make permanent decisions …
The thing that I'm curious about is during his time away, does he miss being on the ice, competing, being part of a team? Or does the thought of it make him feel like some people do on Sunday night, dreading going back to work on Monday?
i mean, this is just an egregiously bullshit narrative that entirely falls apart when you compare the power plays he was featured on in winnipeg versus the ones in columbusWell, Laine is the wrong guy. He doesn't want to score anymore and would rather focus on being a below average C than using his shot.
