He's on a one year contract. But someone will trade for his rights and sign him Horvat, Rathbone and a conditional 1st ? Boeser, ________ and a conditional 2022 1st ? No low balling. Nothing that you wouldn't post on CBJ's HF forum with a straight face. Maybe we could hash out an offer and submit it to their forum. See what the reaction is.. Good idea Max. I think the upside in Laines game of dominant size, shooting power, attitude (in a good way; game swagger), and skill, would fit well in our core. Plus we have a fellow Finnish forward in Lammikko for Laine to play FortNite with . Due to Laines inconsistency of late and his need to fully prove himself. I think even Horvat straight across would not be appropriate. That being said I respect how much you value Laine. He is truly a beast when focused. 6’4, 215 Lbs, can be physically engaged and gritty, underrated two-way “pick-pocketer”, as powerful a wrist shot as some players slap shot, silky hands, and pretty good speed for a big man. I think a similar inconsistent sniper in Boeser is a good trade. I think we add. I’d say… Canucks: Laine Blue Jackets: Boeser Hamonic 3rd 2024 Edited November 30, 2021 by ZH96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patel Bure Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 On 11/27/2021 at 6:42 PM, I.Am.Ironman said: At this point, I wouldn't offer more than Boeser straight across for a 1:1 swap. Both are struggling, both used to be dangerous snipers, both are up for a new contract, neither are earning their current contract. Even then I'm not sure I do it given the risk of disrupting the room (lol given current affairs). It seems like a lateral move at best. All speculation, but I also imagine that Boeser is probably more 'locker room friendly'. He has a good head on his shoulders which, to me, adds value. Disagree. Laine can still play and is still a dangerous force when he's on. He's missed half the season with injuries so far, but had 10 points in 9 games. Put Laine in a system where the coach gives Laine some leeway to play to his strengths, and he'll be a force to be reckoned with. Laine, under an elite head coach, would absolutely thrive.

Ballisticsports. Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 50+ years of not a lot of excitement and poor management over the years on the Canucks My personal highlights 70's in 74 they had their 1st winning season 1 division Title 80's 1 Canucks Stanley Cup final Taking Calgary to game 7 (seeing them win the cup and thinking what if) 90's Quinn making big trade Bure 2 Division Titles 1 Stanley Cup final Bure, Mogilny, Messier, Linden and the hope (till they stepped on the ice, like this years team) Burke surprise at the draft for moving up and getting Sedins 2000's West Coast Express 5 Division Titles 2010 2 President Trophies 3 Divisional Titles 1 Stanley Cup Final Team and players taking all NHL awards 2018 Pettersson looked like a game breaker 2020 In the ALL TIME History of the NHL of active teams the Canucks entire winning % sits 3rd from the bottom with only the Coyotes and Kraken just behind us. Before Seattle entered the league we were the 2nd worse winning NHL Team ever !, It is silly for any Canuck fan to state 'at least we aren't the ?" (what Coyotes) ? The past is the past and I want to look forward to good times It has been so bad for so long, that usually enduring so many losing seasons you have reason for hope, but now the rug has been pulled from under our feet and with no one saying we can fix this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
