Dang imagine Columbus with Cooley and Jiricek and McGroarty lol

lol? just shipping tuna off for nothing? he had a down year and uncharacteristic and unlucky puck luck, no rhyme or reason selling him for a 3rd

Interesting proposal. Probably need to do a bit more to get that Laine trade done. They don't need to trade a RFA. Laine would get them 1 or 2 firsts, second and third if signed away. A top 6/ top 4 and the second overall might do it. Cooley might fit better though than Laine

Even if Laine didn't want to return, which he has said multiple times that he does, I don't think this gets it done. Jarmo would want a high end RD prospect or future #1C in return.

Isn't that what the pick is for?

Translation
1C = Jack Hughes
RD = Luke Hughes

Feel like Devils fans have been down this road before.

Want pastrnak instead?

Why is siegenthaler on the bench?

not enough for laine

You would give him to us for #2 pick?

I would personally.

I would take him. But may I ask why?

I think he can become a ghost at 5-on-5 in tight checking games. I think he’s about to get paid, and I want the players paid at the top of the market to be all situation players.

Good point, I think he would fit well with the devils playing Jack Hughes, Pasta is exactly the type of player the devils need

Lmao, Laine and the CBJ both want him here the next decade. Do your research first, it's all over twitter.

No, Why have a pick when you have a generational talent...

Did you just say, “do your research, its all over twitter?”

Not a great look.

Are you calling laine a generational talent?

Is this a copypasta?

Is THIS a copypasta??

What makes you think we wouldn't be able to re-sign Laine?

-He's said on multiple occasions that he loves being in Columbus

-We have a plethora of cap space, so we can fit his demands comfortably.

As cool as it would be to have the 2nd overall pick, i feel like this scenario isn't gonna be a thing.

If Laine is willing to accept that contract value, he'll be a Blue Jacket. Both sides are very enthusiastic about making a long-term deal happen.
