That may be the saddest thing I’ve ever read on this board. 
It's a tribute to the Leafs. We should be honoured.
I don't know if that could be a sensible trade.
He's developing, the Jackets are rebuilding, and he's the only player of his kind (a hard-hitting shutdown RD) in the org. It would need a 1st or something to get the Jackets receptive to trading Peeke and that would frankly be an overpayment for his overall game in the short run. He's not very good with puck movement at the moment.
I mean, they seem to be having a good time when I see them out having a good time.
A decent amount of ex-players live in Columbus, too. A ton of sports figures in general.
I know this isn't necessarily how you feel. Just adding.
It’s very possible, that was the narrative around some key UFA’s though. I’m not saying I agree with the narrative, just that’s what it was.

Yeah they're just too young to help much at this point. Boqvist, Ceulemans. And Bean tends to play RD.

And what on Mr.Laines resume suggests in anyway that he would be the 2md best goal scorer on this team. I think he has scored more goals than Tavares once and since than has looked inept.
Columbus Jack
He's from Columbus
You think Marner is putting up massive numbers on a Columbus team? Yea doubt that.
At 11Mil, I'll pass.
I absolutely shudder to think at what Laine would score playing on Matthews wing. Marner is the overall better player but Laine fills such a need for some many teams. I think tonight was the first solid one time pass Laine received off a rush in maybe ever in a CBJ uniform.
People are so eager to sell low on Laine it's just dumb, he's 23 and already scored 40 goals. Go recreate a similar situation in WPG for him to thrive. He'd 100% have that in Toronto.

Sorry qre you suggesting that Tavares being a better goal scorer than Laine is a "Hot Take" and not absolutely factual by every measurment.

My view is Columbus is a great city if you are married with kids - hence the number of retired players. It also has a huge university, so if you are 20-23 and on your first contract (so you have some money but not crazy money) looking for lots of girls your age, it is fantastic. Where it has a problem is if you are an unmarried 25-30 year old making millions of dollars and looking to have a good time. It is probably a pretty boring place compared to many NHL cities for that demographic. And that is what the free agents are.

Lol.
There isn’t an asset or combined assets on the Jackets that will get you Matthews.

Don't want Laine
Don't want Domi
Don't want to move Kampf
And Marner isn't going anywhere, though if/when the Leafs flop again in the first round he'll be on the table. But not for any package involving Laine or Domi.
Right now the Leafs are as solid up front as they have been since they drafted Auston. The real weakness remains on the blue line as Holl has been bad, Muzzin has been shaky and they are one injury among their d-men away from being run over in the first round.
(Yes, they have really solid defensive numbers so far but as any Leafs fan watching them this season will tell you, Jack is a legit MVP candidate for this team. He's bailed out the frequent turnovers and brain cramps from the starting six so many times that he's actually made non-watchers of this team believe their blueline is at the very least, solid. It's not.)

Nope, someone hurt you, who was it? Marner? did he refuse to toss you a puck during warmups one time? That bad man.
