Now I think we finally got the answers to the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beni Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Little bit of Karma for the words against Van? hahah I think someone needs to lay off the video games, this is great for WPG though in regards to his future contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUCKER67 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 The timing of this is perfect. Laine was joking that the Canucks were using Fortnite as an excuse for last season. What's Goatboy's excuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Lets pick him up while his value is low. 2nd 2019, 2nd 2020, 7th conditional 2020, cash incentives, and a large pack of timbits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Petey has more goals than Laine playing 10 less games. And he's a rookie. Laine is one dimensional while Petey is a force defensively and will be killing penalties for years to come. This tells you how great Pettersson has become in only his first season as Laine was being looked at as a franchise player less than a year ago.

Not that an NHL player's life should be 100% hockey all the time but it does make me wonder if he trains outside of practices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwags Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Laine should move on to Apex Legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 CapFriendly @CapFriendly 51m51 minutes ago Food for thought: On Nov 29 #NHLJets Patrik Laine scored his 20th & 21st goal of the season, which had him in first place in the league for goals scored. Since then Laine has scored 4 goals, and currently sits 34th in the league in goals scored. Why is that important? Anything outside the top 10 means Laine misses out on a $1.8M 'B' bonus. It also mean that the $1.8M the #NHLJets had earmarked as a possible bonus in Nov, can maybe be used at the trade deadline instead. $1.8M at the deadline is equal to an $8.37M cap hit at full value.

I.Am.Ironman Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Man, if you are the Jets what do you offer him? One would think that it has to be a bridge deal at around ~6.5M x 2 years to see what he can do in the coming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, that made me choke on my wine! The last video games I played were Space Invaders and Frogger, but even those were a couple of generations newer than Pong!
