McBackup Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 21 minutes ago, CanuckGAME said: People need to chill with the Laine hate. Maybe theres something dysfunctional in that franchise. It's kind of weird how many guys they lost in one offseason. As soon as guys get a chance they leave.. Would you want to play in Winnipeg? I sure as **** wouldnt. I'm not about to blindly call Laine a scumbag like everyone seems to he doing in this thread unless we know the whole story. Where there is smoke there is fire. And seems to me more guys want to leave than stay in winterpeg They seemed to have dressing room issues going as far back as last season, or at least that’s what was reported. I don’t think its necessarily that players don’t want to play there (there is probably something to that though) but I doubt it’s the whole story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laine + 3rd/4th round pick for Tanev + Baer + Person/Leivo + 2nd round draft pick. I tried to include LE but he has a NTC and would block a trade to Winnipeg. Then offer Laine similar bridge deal like BB. 3yr x 5.75M His main beef is he doesn't get to play with quality Centers. In Vancouver, he would most likely play with EP or Bo (both quality Centers). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thought Evander Kane was the issue and that's why they traded him....and now Laine.....hmmmm seems like they always have issues..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyCanuck Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hate to say this but Laine has one good point.... Jets lack high end centers. I like little but he would be a third line center on most teams.... sad part is the jets are great at drafting wingers but they never trade them for a center..... if im the jets I would be calling around to see what's the best center they could get and then just sign Connor.....

While he may have a point throwing your teammates under the bus like that is stupid. No matter how much a classy guy like Wheeler will come out and say it's a non-story, it's not true. 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think wheeler is old school and hope he grabs Laine and sets him straight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing your teammates under the bus in the media is just pure garbage. Ya dude, that's a punk move and a quick way to turn any organization and it's fanbase against you. Be a man and ask for a trade if that's how you feel. Laine scored 18 goals in November. I don't think his linemates are an issue... Everything Laine is doing suggests he wants out. I kinda feel bad for Jets fans. This could be a collapse of epic proportions. If Buff retires, their defense is bottom 5 in the NHL (or worse). This was a team on the verge of being a stanley cup contender for the next 5-10 years. But guess what...? It's a good time to be a Canucks fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
