I find it hard to believe that mtl wouldn’t offer a better package than that for Laine.

As a Buffalo fan I'd love that but I doubt a Jets fan is gonna love it.

Sounds like they aren't pursuing him

Maybe

Most likely because their talks probably involved the jets wanting Suzuki or KK. Once they see what offers are out there I could see them going back around

Danault
Tatar
1st

for

Laine

Is that what the reported talks were?

My mock

Hmmm. I’m assuming they want centre and defence. How about
A signed Domi 6x5.5 Kulak Mete and 2021 first. That way the have players secured for long term
Domi decent 2c not much smaller than Brian Little with more grit so they can’t argue size
Kulak can play second pairing in Winnipeg he did well in mtl
Mete has lots of potential at 22 with already 2 years experience
And the 1st
I’d say that’s better than Your original offer from buffalo no?

Not gonna lie I do not want Laine. He is not that good. If he’s not scoring on the PP he’s basically useless. I’d much rather have Ehlers but that’ll be a bit more expensive as he is the better player imo

Laine is an elite sniper. He'd be a fantastic add.

Yeah great only on the PP. he’s the literal definition of a PP specialist, he’s a total liability defensively, and 5on5 he’s horrendous. He doesn’t even try on the other end. I’d rather not pay him 8.5-9 mil a year

What makes you think he's entitled to $9M if he's not good?

That’s what he’s going to ask and bc he’s a 40 goal scorer he’ll get it GMs love to overpay guys who just score goals
