Olli Juolevi Posted June 12 Posted June 12 If CBJ retains like $2M or more I'd be all over it, but then it might become a bidding war that we don't want to be a part of. He still scores goals when he's in the lineup. 1

Actually, if they were to retain him down to about 4.5 million, I would probably take a flyer on him. With his size and shot, if he can find his game again, he'd look really good playing with Pettersson feeding him the puck. 2 1 1

SuchaNuxtalgia Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Man, there were some hefty disappointments from that '16 draft! Bloody minefield.
Nucker67 Posted June 12 Posted June 12 JR and Allvin like those reclamation players. Laine has been away from hockey for mental health reasons, and now seems to want to return to the game, but get a fresh start. Is Laine salvageable? CBJ would need to retain.
Elias Pettersson Posted June 12 Posted June 12 20 minutes ago, HKSR said: Sounds like Columbus should retain $3M and trade him to Vancouver. Laine for Mikheyev? 2 1 1
Popular Post Gurn Posted June 12 Popular Post Posted June 12 Anyone that is ok with Laine at 8.7 mill--- better not moan about Lindholm at $8. which is too much for either of them-for the Canucks, at least. 4 1

GrammaInTheTub Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Laine hasn’t sniffed 30 goals in going on six years. It’s been largely injury related so he may have paced 35-40 over 82… but that’s going on six years of not staying healthy. Add his two-way game concerns on top of that? No thank you - not cohesive with the culture we’re cultivating.

No way we send that or even one of that He's still scored at a solid 30+ goal rate each of the last 3 seasons, and in you're scenario they're both retaining on him and taking the full value of Mikheyev's contract. That's going to cost some decent assets. His issues are mostly personal and there's going to be plenty of GM's willing to bet on a fresh start helping him out on and off the ice. 1 1
