Trade him to LA for PLD 😂
Laine to Tampa heard it here first
in Chicago
Marner for Laine.
Perfect fit for him …Nj Devils….Columbus retains 25% and we send Columbus Palat with a close to even swap on Salary. Columbus gets a solid experienced veteran and the Devils get a sniper fir Jack Hughes.
I'd be happy to see the Habs take a chance on him in a second line role with Dach. Send Anderson back there + 27th overall pick.
Detroit
penguins…would be awesome on either Sid or Geno's lines
I think there is a real chance that the Chicago Blackhawks grab Laine. There will be very few teams that will even offer a trade worth much. His cap hit and his reputation around the league aren’t great. Hawks are one of the only teams that can offer to take the whole contract with no retention. Gotta think CBJ would love to have that $8.5M freed up off there cap.
Who wants this child?
Acting like a 26 year old making many millions is a child. lmao
Lou is going to grab him.
Remember those "Laine's better" chants? lmao
I know the Habs want him but what do they want from Habs. Other problem is the new GM, Waddell, but I think it was more of the owner than the GM with the whole offer sheet thing between them.
I liked KK but Tkachuk should’ve been taking.
Laine should go to KHL. He’d be the star he was meant to be over there.
I wish him well wherever he goes.
I honestly feel like vancouver is the place for him. Boeser dealt with his dads death recently as well. Petterson needs a good winger and tocchet turned boeser and Miller into 2 way guys. Laine could be his next project.
I realize it's a very diminutive point to make, but…Patrik Laine is more (when he is himself and thriving) than just numbers and the #1 one timer shot on the planet. He brought friggin Magic to the NHL the first couple of seasons. The stuff that fans want to see. Sure, he seems to have some personal issues, but could one also argue it's too bad the league as a whole could not effectively administer such a unique talent?
Heck do I know, I'm just a lowly Finnish hockey fan 😀 (since the 1960's). The only team sport in the world that keeps me awake through the whole game. 😀 Will be really interesting to follow what's going to happen with Laine next season, if I live. Seems to me Utah would be a "fresh start", indeed. 🙂 He needs a good playmaker as a linesmate to feed him, though – that much is clear…
With Maurice in Florida with 1/2 retained… They can't pay Reinhardt anyways, so there's a hole.
As a Bruins fan I've thought about Laine as well. I would much rather have him than Debrusk, so if Columbus or a third team want to take half his salary I'd be fine with it depending on what they would have to give up. No way would Boston take on his entire salary though.
Chicago would be a perfect fit
Laine just doesn’t have the stuff. Never has. Never will.
Carolina? Maybe the smartest thing ive heard steve say.
Laine to maple leafs legend kyle dubas for smith
laine to nyr – calling it now
M O N T R E A L for next years first and harris + Farrel
He gets bought out then he gets to choose where he goes
NY Islanders? To give them some added firepower 5 on 5 (sheltered alongside someone like Horvat/Pageu) and on the powerplay. Sending Wahlstrom and Palmieri the other way with a mid round draft pick. Prospect, Salary Dump of a veteran to make room for the contract and then a draft pick to sweeten the deal.
Come on Yzerman!!!
If they retained 30-40% I could see Vegas or Seattle doing something for him
Let’s Go Jackets.
I firmly believe it will be Laine and a third going one way, and a guy worth 4m and a 2nd coming back.
The cap space going up about 4.5m allows for a guy to come back and for us to not have to just eat money, without the other team having to move a big player.
I feel teams who want scoring could find cheaper more reliable options
Blues could also use Laine scoring? Laine, lower pair defender and prospect from Columbus for upper pair defender from St Louis?
Pls send Laine to Detroit. He would love playing there because they are coming up again. I could see him in the uniform now.
Montreal
Montreal rehabbed Monahan, they can rehab Laine!
Montreal can take the full cap hit too.
Proposal:
To MTL: Laine
To CLB: future considerations
