Description

cut Chevy some slack he has the toughest gm job in the NHL

Laine publicly stated he wanted out for the past year already, Chevy didn't flinch and waited for the best return possible and when the opportunity came he pounced, wouldve gotten a few picks, prospects and players any other time

close 1 for 1 deal is by far the best scenario

a 22 year old #1 center who really elevated his game past playoffs is a pretty damn nice return
one thing people overlook with PLD is how Columbus was set up, they didnt has any secondary scoring.. thats the reason they stated when they traded for Domi, so every time the opposing teams best top/shutdown line were focused on his line, maybe I'm just overthinking it don't know...... time will tell

tbh this kinda reminds me bout the Trouba situation, everybody was saying the jets utterly lost the trade right from the get go (worked out nicely for us since then)

its completely different tho.... just saying wait a year or 2 before u judge

good luck to Laine, got us the overtime win last game u were in a jets uniform, didn't let your trade request effect ur'e on ice play one bit.. didn't hold out, so respect... Personally think ull thrive in the Eastern Conference, Columbus got a really special player, guaranteed the Central division is pretty happy (especially Dallas) pure snipers r pretty frustrating to play against but now guess the Metropolitan has those issues

overall honestly think we got better, not for this season but in the long run. Center is the most important position in hockey and was our weakest position a year ago but now its our strongest.. better built for the playoffs as well

both teams win, they both had disgruntled star players who wanted out and managed to get another star player back

Welcome the Winnipeg Pierre-Luc Dubois

the city with one of the craziest fan bases in the entire NHL

Sure Dubois may not be as good as Laine, but Jets get one more of control and undoubtedly more cap relief. Plus getting a centre...who can play wing too if needed....good deal for the Jets.
You mentioned the Trouba trade. Trouba was going to be a Jet for just one more year, and then be UFA, so the Jets did well on the trade. The NYR got all giddy and paid 8m long term contract...and the time the 5th highest paid Dman, doesn't see like a good cap deal now.

Chevy can fu*k off, this trade sucks and there's MANY players without trade protection that get dealt all the time but he's never in on them, so many excuses made for this guy.

if a player doesn't want to play here don't trade for them, they just become a distraction that effects on ice play.... to be completely blunt very few do

Yeah and we just traded for a guy who quit on his coach and teammates so what's your point?

ya the Trouba trade was interesting, he had one more year to UFA but was coming off a 50 point year as a 2 way defensemen at the age of 24.. played like a legit #1 def that year

and what the jets got was Pionk was wasn't even considered a top 4 d at the time (he broke out after he came here) and #20th pick in the 2019 draft that was considered weak

decent return for a 1 year rental but far from the value that Trouba commanded that time
