Patrik Laine not as bad of a trade idea for the Sabres as you think

Go sabers
Oh Lord no … Not Laine.
Laine has been dead weight on every team he’s been on. Nope.
Like if you’re on the Laine Train
NO THANKS to Laine or Zegras as both are defensive liabilities and OVERRATED& OVER PRICED!
Please stop with the Sabres needing a top 6 forward, they dont!
Omg omg omg Joe!!!! stay away from him
Joe knows nothing about hockey omg
I'm not a fan… he's burned his bridge in Winnepeg, and now in Columbus. He seems to be a problem child which is NOT the kind of player Adams has looked for. He wants players who want to be here.
He could help us to make the playoffs. Worth a try.
Is his noggin ok? Thought he had concussion issues.
I miss those clean, open ice hits from Michael Peca.
Sabres are already having a hard enough time finding leadership. Inviting a locker room cancer like Laine into the mix might be enough to implode the team and move them to Houston.
Ohhhhh never….
It's a horrible idea. Only difference between him and Skinner is the amount of time in the league. Skinner minus 130. Laine is minus 58. Just as big of a defensive liability.
Patrik Laine has the same (lack of) defensive qualities as Jeff Skinner, but without Jeff's engaging personality. No thanks even as a free agent, let alone sending assets to Columbus in a trade. If we are looking to trade for a top 6 forward there are better options out there that also do not come with Laine's attitude.
The Sabres already have a top six, if you include Zach Benson. But if we do trade, I like Joe's idea of sending Greenway as part of the trade. A Zucker – McCleod – Benson third line would be sweet.
No thanks to Laine
As much as i like Laine at times he is not a Lindy Ruff type player. id like to see them make a Shot at Farabee still. Krebs still isnt signed so maybe he is in for Trade bait. Farabee scores and is a better 2 way player. Something tells me tho they may not make a move til they See what Benson does on a line with Cozens and Quinn. But for me its always been Farabee the contract and the term and his age fits perfectly.
Cancer for the Sabres.
I typically see a lot of common ground between our viewpoints but this one I am such a no it’s not even funny
Laine is a culture killer.
