UKNuck96 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Would love to have him on the team, unfortunately with cap space and flat cap just cannot find a way to get so one like that without gutting the team or the farm to the point where it’s worth asking is the cost worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he'd be prohibitively expensive. And we don't need him to score goals. We need a d upgrade far more imo. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 When he first came in the league I thought this guy was special. Wouldn't touch him now. Poor foot speed, seems to have fitness issues/motivation issues. He even publicly said how bad he would be if the NHL came back this season. For what he is going to get paid as a winger, I just don’t see him as a good add or piece to build around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take a lot to get him from Winnipeg though. Brock is a good start, but it's the additional pieces that would kill us. That was my first thought: Boeser +, whatever the + would be. As much of a sniper as Laine is, I really dislike his character, and I have a feeling Benning would have an issue with that as well. Laine made some comments a while back about the Canucks players banning video games on the road. I believe he may have been difficult with his contract negotiations. . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, as a player I think he'd an upgrade. I doubt he'd mesh well with the guys in our locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip, Laine and Kessel, that's a marriage made in goof off hockey heaven. They could punch their NHL time clock, keep skipping the gym, keep the golf courses busy. Perfect players for Arizona. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 It's be boeser and woo or juolevi plus a pick. Not as interested as some but he'd be fun to watch with Petterson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laine is just a big Kessel, they'd be awesome together. seriously tho, Laine is a big enough name to pull the trigger on an OEL deal. Thats if AZ had a fanbase that cared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 If The Preds thing their window is still open they could swap Ellis for Laine. Quinn Huges was often compared to Ellis in his draft year and only has $6.25 Million cap hit. Then The Preds can resign Laine if they think he fits into their future.
