Sujet: Time to stop being so bad
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SK101</b></div><div>Okay that’s fine by me I don’t want to trade laine. Glad we can agree jackets are better off keeping him and not taking on a overpaid, aging, mid winger</div></div>

no one said the jackets are better off keeping a guy who is so disgruntled he's on the players assistance program and hates being on your team.

He's destroying your cap because you can't count on him but have to count on his cap hit.
Clearly that's such a great situation for CBJ.
Couple that with the fact he'll never resign for you and makes it impossible for you to trade him..... really great situation.

I think you really lack a perspective of reality.
Rakell put up 60 points last year, a guy putting up 60 points and 28 goals at 5 mil per isn't over paid.
But A guy counting 8.7 mil on your cap while getting 0 out of him is a major problem.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SK101</b></div><div>There’s not a team in the league that would take 31 year old rakell signed for 4 more years over laine at 6 million. Talk about delusional</div></div>

the only delusional aspect here is you popping off about how injury is the guys only problem.
Again he played 18 games last year. At least rakell played 70 last year and isn't in a players assistance program.

Laine has more red flags on him that you can count. Including two issues with two different teams.

His situation is so bad you can't even trade him right now, because you can't move guys in a players assistance program. Nor is any team, and I mean any team, looking to trade for those guys.
You can go on all day, but those are facts and are why his value is literally rock bottom low.
So yeah, there are teams out there that would rather take a "31 year old Rakell" than him.
You make it sound like players don't play till 33-34 years old in todays league. That's just BS. many players do.
At least you can chalk up Rakells issues to things other than him, like having a 37 year old center.
Laine's issues are all on him.

But keep hitting that pipe where you think there is some great value in Laine.... there isn't. He's literally unmovable right now. Even if you wanted to, and even if they could find a rock bottom trade partner, you couldn't move him.

Sujet: Philadelphia Flyers signed Ivan Fedotov (2 Years / $3,275,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kckrebs</b></div><div>Wow. All I can say is wow. Can’t concede one little bit lol I get it you’ve come this far you can’t really turn back now. Even though exactly what I said is very likely happening and just a few months after this Fedotov contract was signed it appears we are going at it from every angle to Michkov over here way before anyone thought we could. Go ahead and bring the war up but it has nothing to do with it. NA players are going over to Russia to play and Russians are coming over here to play, quit trying to over complicate things.</div></div>

you are so out of touch you are just making things up.
No one is going there to play, no one. It's a known issue.
People are fleeing left and right to the point they have huge labor shortages all across the country and are mobilizing by law, people to be transferred across time zones to fill jobs.
Most people are terrified of being drafted and here is you, trying to speculate some point on a player trying to get the hell out of dodge into some imaginary circumstance.

Like here is a clue man, They are fleeing, getting out any way they can.
His agent is no more than a cartel person trying to get money for shuffling people over boarders.
That's it at this point. If he had any others he could do that for and get paid he would. It has nothing to do with what you paid someone else. It's just opportunism for people trying to get the hell out of dodge.
