I don't know man....I'd be curious what Buff and Truba have to say. But Kane and Laine both strike me as guys with massive egos. Me 1st kind of guys. That's just the vibe I get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing your teammates under the bus in the media is just pure garbage.

The Jets have been saying all the right things re it's not an issue. Might just be a tempest in a teacup. Liut was asked his reaction to Laine’s comments in the article from Jalonen (starts at 18 second mark and runs till 3:59): “…Patrik went through a pretty tough year last year because everybody expected him to score 50 or 60 goals and he’s trying to explain away what happened, or at least defend himself a little bit and that’s an impossible thing to do. When the writer takes it to another step or a false conclusion and takes a shot at guys, then that’s not Patrik’s intent and certainly not what he said. Case in point is this and it’s very simple. They make a point about primary assists and they also link it to Patrik’s 110 goals. Well 40% of those goals, I don’t know the total but like that or more, 45%, are power play goals and Bryan Little is not on the ice for those and he can’t participate…..I think the writer took an unfortunate slant. Patrik reached out to Bryan immediately and whatever he said to him in his words but they’re more than fine and that’s hockey…” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how much a classy guy like Wheeler will come out and say it's a non-story, it's not true. Yes! 100% accurate. Because that's how a professional handles the media. But you bet your ass he pissed off a number of people on that team. 4 hours ago, canuck73_3 said: You've literally called your line mates crap, and when you're as lacklustre defensively and as inconsistent offensively as Laine was last year. Throwing your teammates under the bus like that is gutless. This is a big deal. Laine is what, 21...22? If I'm a veteran on that team or if I'm Laine's linemate, I'm pissed. These guys are at camp busting thier asses while Laine is at home playing video games, talking sh!t about his teammates and waiting to count his millions. Maybe Buff decided he was going to retire because he knew he'd punch Laine out the second he walked into that dressing room lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amplified0ne Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Remember when this guy took a shot at the canucks in the media about video games/fortnite on the road. As calm and calculated as Wheeler was in his comments, also think he took a shot at Laine too mentioning how Laine hasn't done what he's done by himself. Pretty much a 1 dimensional goal scorer, but a streaky goal scorer so far in his NHL career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could round out his game, he could become of the NHL greats, but as it stands today, great goal scorer, and pretty much nothing else.

combover Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 How can he go back to winterpeg after calling his “top line mates” average. The poor guy doesn’t get to play with superstars to help pad his stats I guess we should all feel bad for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They called it a 'Mega-Deal" I'm unsure how that's really a mega deal as they're losing a prime winger for a decent return but not filling that hole. The 1sts and potential replacement for Byfuglien aren't terrible but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets better say no to that. Risto is 100% garbage. His offensive totals are misleading. Sheary is a good player, but entirely redundant and replaceable. The two firsts aren’t enough. In short, all the wrong players the Jets would want. If Buffalo, conversation starts with Reinhart. And even then, they’d have to add quite a bit more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnipeg is desperate for D, Ristolainen is definitely a top 4 guy (though maybe not a #1 like he has been deployed in Buffalo). Of course it also takes Laine agreeing to a reasonable contract offer in Buffalo. Winnipeg probably has to take on a little more salary (they have tons of room) as Buffalo is pretty near the cap and Risto+Sheary may not equal Laine's salary. Maybe Sobotka. Laine-Eichel-Skinner would be a pretty highly paid line top and had better produce. PS. I also love that every time I look up Buffalo on Capfriendly I get to see that they are still paying for Hodgson...

Buff and risto can be comparable , both have hiccups in their game.... i think jets would do it if they add Casey M or Sam R and even take cap dump Kyle okposo..... p.s still burns me that we took hodgson over Myers and karlsson and we could have used a right handed D too at the time.
