Moved b4 season starts?I say not only is Laine not moved this weekend/start of UFA, but he’s on the training camp roster in September.
Oh. I didn't think you could be. Thanks for telling me that.He can be traded while in PAP, just teams can’t talk to him directly until he is out of the program
Don Don won't trade him for a bowl of lentils or beads. Which he made pretty clear. So I won't be surprised if Patrik actually starts in Columbus next season too.I say not only is Laine not moved this weekend/start of UFA, but he’s on the training camp roster in September.

Negative. I think he starts with ColumbusMoved b4 season starts?

But what team would trade for a guy they can't talk to?Oh. I didn't think you could be. Thanks for telling me that.
Most likely nobody, but who knows if they retain or talk through the agent. He could be out of the program but not reported?? Silly season.But what team would trade for a guy they can't talk to?
True. We don't know what kinds of records they have to review prior to a trade. At least with physical injuries you can review medical reports, see x-rays, etc. before making a trade.Most likely nobody, but who knows if they retain or talk through the agent.

One would assume the agent is advising Laine the best time to get a trade is now. DW also mentioned Laine is coming out of the program in a few days in his presser 1 week ago.True.

Kings?But what team would trade for a guy they can't talk to?
I think if Don-Wad could trade him to a Western Conference team without retaining any salary he would probably let the trade partner keep their lentils.I think he would trade him for a bowl of lentils. As gross as that sounds.
But no one will trade for him until they can at least talk.
Also wanted to follow up and say this isn’t because of “because we’re Columbus and nobody wants him” type thinking. It’s more thatNegative. I think he starts with Columbus
Prepare for him to be traded at any moment now
It's cool. Us fanbases who've had to deal with PLD need to stick together, y'know.Kings?
Blake has had interest in Laine in the past & has shown he's willing to gamble on players recovering.
Cap: King's have the cap to fit him at full price.
Return: Todd hates Kaliyev, so probably stay away from him.
Right shot: Arvidsson is leaving. That leaves Fagemo, that they don't play & Laferriere, who doesn't have the greatest shot. Doughty has an ok slapper when he hits the net. King's REALLY need a right shot on the PP.
Timing is bad. King's need to make an add in free agency & fill out some depth spots. Toffoli might be brought back as a fallback plan. Adding Laine's full cap hit would effect the amount the King's have to fill out the roster. It would be nice to know ahead of free agency.
Hope Laine the best & hope CBJ has a good season! I've been critical of Todd & am still angry about the JAD thing. 1 goal, 3 assists & Todd just wouldn't stop playing him. Todd did manage to get Kempe to breakout into an actual top 6 player so there are some positives. Todd's shown the ability to get teams playing well. Hope it works out in CBJ.
Blake's on a roll! No point in stopping now.It's cool. Us fanbases who've had to deal with PLD need to stick together, y'know.
I don't disagree with most of this but my only counter point would be to point #2... We have bought out players with multi year dead money (Wennberg still on the books) so I think it would all depend on what the amount looks like and the return. I don't know that it's a dead end with ownership, but certainly not the preference.Also wanted to follow up and say this isn’t because of “because we’re Columbus and nobody wants him” type thinking. It’s more that
1. We know ownership doesn’t like to retain salary.
2. To my knowledge we have never retained any salary on a trade on anyone that wasn’t a deadline trade and expiring at the end of the year.
3. With that belief ownership won’t retain, Waddell is dealing even more shorthanded than the situation calls for.
4. Waddell may rather cut his losses and try to rectify the situation (like with elvis) and have him try to rebound under a new coach. And move him later; rather than trade him straight up for another bad contract and a draft pick or something.
Good pitch, seems like a nice fit . And judging on his wardrobe, I bet Laine would love the luxury side of LAKings?

Clearly this is a situation that would come down to the Jets speaking with Laine when he exits the PAP and Laine waiving his NTC (which I'm just guessing may have the Jets on it - who knows). I have not looked at the Jets roster, but Waddell has been very clear that he wants a hockey trade and PREFERS not having to retain, but I don't think it's out of the question if the return makes sense. As he said...everyone is playing nice in the sandbox at the moment. We really won't know what this looks like until Laine is released from the PAP. The thing with the CBJ is they are not currently pressed for CAP space and I think they would hold Laine unless it became an untenable situation like it did with PLD.FYI - we have rumors on the Jets board about potentially bringing Laine back. I came here to check what you guys think about it and was surprised about the a) apparently clear plan of Wadell to get him out ASAP and b) No mentioning yet about those rumors connected to us. 3 different Media people mentioning his name - not necessrily big time Insiders. But still.
Some users have asked "but what team would be interested?" - Not all of us on HFJets agree but I am in the camp of thinking Chevy would definitely be open to at least talk about it/talk to Patty. Problem is you would definitely need to retain salary.
