Why not be fair and offer a fair bridge?
6 aav for 2-3 years.
No need to be a dick. I don‘t think that he doesn‘t score on purpose.

Jets Fans- Laine is great, he'll be fine....
I look at poll results....
Jets Fans- Let's lowball him for 5 million.
Best of luck.

The organization shows confidence in him with the term and makes him the highest paid player on the team, but doesn't overpay. Chevy does it again!

I think he rounds into one of the best snipers in the league.
Heck, he's already one of them.
He has some growing up to do, that's for sure.
But a lot of the young stars in todays game need to round out their play without the puck.
Very few of them walk into the NHL and become instant complete players.
He will be a 40 goal scorer for a very long time.
I would lock him up cheap during a slump.
A bridge is ideal for the Peg, but only because they are in cap trouble.
Locking him up at a lower AAV would be idea long term.

i think a bridge is the only option here. Id be weary about spending big money on someone, even though it most likely is just a slump

Got it for Bobby
Pay him $12M/year on the condition the NHL will allow the Jets to play the Blues 20x a year and watch him break Gretzky's points record. Problem solved.

Could you see him pulling a Nylander and sitting out til he gets the amount he wants?
Trade him for whoever will massively overpay for the next Dany Heatley
Even if it turns out to be an Iginla for Niewendyk trade a cup would be more than worth it. Jets could get high impact additions at high impact positions like C and LD. Imagine Jets going into the 2019 playoffs with something like Henrique and Fowler

8mx5 and hope for the best.
In a year it could be the best deal in the league.
Knowing Laine he'll finish the year with 40 goals.

If Laine is smart he signs an offer sheet. The 5 million bridge talk is bogus.
He’s one of the best snipers in the league and just saw the Matthews contract. Why on earth would you risk alienating your superstar forward with a low ball contract.
We’re already talking about a franchise with a pending question mark in the Trouba contract situation. You wish to risk another star? By all means low ball him.

that'll be a major boon of a contract
he simply isn't worth anything close to Matthews. AM34 is a superior player that plays a more-coveted position than Laine. What do you think is a fair contract for him?
Kids got 100 NHL goals as a 20 year old scoring .5 goals per game. A fan base of an undesired market is talking about low balling him. This should workout well...
Get him a proper center to play with, tell him to skate around more instead of rooting in one place waiting for a one timer, and have the Internet/wi-if disabled in all hotels during road trips.
He’s worth the Draisaitl contract maybe even a little more. Let’s be honest if Winnipeg won’t pony up. Another team will
Imagine if he had an elite center man. Laine should hardball if they low ball him.
I think my bridge example was far too low. I would think something like 8.5M x 2yr would be the type of bridge he'd get.
If he'd accept that i think the Jets would be more than ecstatic inking him to that deal (8.5M x 8). However, I think Laine would be selling himself short if he signs for that.
I think that’s the low end. People in here talking 5-6 million on a bridge for one of the best snipers in the game is ridiculous.
Well I mean I might have influenced that with that option in the poll...oops lol
