  1. I'd love him in Seattle but I would be a little worried to take on another player who's had injury problems with how things have been going with Burakovsky.

  2. Utah Jazz have Markanen and Utah hockey club would be fun. I think Laine needs some Finnish players around him.

  3. Out of interest, why would you not put Sharks on this list? A big body sniper will be perfect to take some pressure off Celebrini / Smith / Eklund and we have the cap space! I would see the argument of ā€˜another year of sucking for another high pickā€™ to be fair but just wanted your thoughts!

  4. Lol keep him away from Vancouver! I could see him going to NYI (young, swap for a pricey vet, offers scoring which Islanders need)

  5. players like Laine are why conditional picks were invented.
    2nd round pick for a privilidge to pay 8 mil tp someone who wont play? get the hell outta here. 50% retained, conditional 3rd round if he plays …

  6. Tampa should go trade for him I think heā€™d fit in perfectly with there play style especially the power play

  7. The range in value from just YouTubers is pretty wild. In the ā€˜loose lint and a McDonaldā€™s BBQ packetā€™ to ā€˜BlueJackets fan dreamā€™ scale, this is a lot closer to the link and bbq. The real value will probably be somewhere in between, but the trades listed here are basically the Jackets loosing SOMETHING and getting nothing. Not sure thatā€™ll fly.

  8. If those are the best offers that are made for him there simply wont be a trade.

  9. A line with Tage Thompson and Laine would be scary.

    Sticks are too long and shots too hard.

    And tage is enough of a hero puck hog that laine would find a lot of quiet ice.

  10. Norris for Laine 1 for 1
    Not sure I'd like if the Sens do this but it would be interesting. With players struggle with injuries cap hits are similar could be something there and Laine on Stutzles wing could be a good combo and Norris to center Gaudreau could also be a good combo

  11. The Devils could be a good spot for him at a retained salary. He could be that young goal-scorer who can play on Jack Hughes' wing. He also comes to a team more in a win-now mode

  12. The return for Columbus definitely would not be like the return they got when they traded Dubois for him. I think the return would be either a potential high-end prospect plus some late draft picks, maybe like two 4ths or a 3rd and 6th. Or maybe two mid prospects plus a 3rd or a 2nd pick. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see just a player for player trade with money retained. Maybe Laine for Necas. Also, don't count out the jackets, including someone else in a trade with Laine. Alex Texier, Kent Johnsons, Nick Blankenburg, and Ivan Provorov names have come up in recent trade talks as well.

  13. ''The ilsanders are the only team on my list that made the playoffs last year'' Vancouver: Am I a joke to you?

  14. Never had the impression he was a diva love him just donā€™t think heā€™s worth the contract and has issues staying healthy and performing

  15. As Columbus is not about to compete for for the 2 years left in Laine's contract, Columbus could easily go all the way to 50% retention and trade Laine for a competing team. As Laine for $8,7M might be a bit risky, but Laine for $4,35M cap hit could be amazing value and easily worth the gamble.

    I would love for the Avs to go for Laine, if they somehow would have the cap room. If we pretend that they could free the 4,5M in cap space and trade this years 1st and Oskar Olausson for Laine with 50% cap retention.

  16. I could see Laine going for Chytil plus a 3rd and a mid-tier, with CBJ holding some cap. Waddell and JD have a history of dealing with the Rangers. Columbus is weak in the center. Rangers need a RW to play with the BFFs.
