Team: 2019-20 Winnipeg Jets

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 22, 2019

Published: Sep. 22, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Everyone on this site including me is undervaluing him. He was being compared to Ovechkin ~365 days ago. Being the 2nd overall pick just adds to his already insane value.

Who here remembers the Marner for Hanifin trades? How about Nylander for Parayko? Some would argue Parayko is the best defenseman on STL. And Marner needs no explanation. My point is if 30 goals is a down year, he’s gonna be one hell of a hockey player.

And for what it’s worth, if Winnipeg trades Laine they might as well move back to Atlanta too

It's only a hot take because people are so short-sighted when it comes to sports. You are spot on. Trading Laine would be the stupidest decision in Jets 2.0 history by a long way. Thankfully I don't see Chevy doing that at all.

I smell a Taylor Hall for adam Larsson type deal coming. if they trade him it will be irrationally to fill the hole of byfuglien and it'll go down as the worst jets trade in a long time

Respectable. My opinion is that when he's not scoring goals he's trash defensively and he scores in bunches at a time so when he's not scoring he's just a body on the ice. He definitely has that potential to be a better player with and without the puck. I just hope he can round out his game a little bit more every year.

Preach it sister, I've been saying it for a while. Laine had 80 goals in his first 155 nhl games (first 2 years). Thats over .5 goals per game. Literally only 1 person playing in the league had a better gpg alin their rookie and sophomore years

I totally agree. So tired of seeing posts of him being traded for Leddy, Risto, Faulk, etc. He's worth way more than those players even though his attitude is not quite ideal.

Totally agree, I'm a Jets fan and I've said the same thing. If they don't get this Laine situation sorted they're really not cut out for the big leagues, should just stick with being a home to an AHL team.

Glad someone finally said it, jets fan here. I love speculating Laine trades, but when I try to put out something realistic the other teams fan base freaks out cause i “overvalue” him lol. Imagine if WSH traded OV within the first 3 years. They’d look like absolute idiots. Like many have mentioned, if WPG makes a rash decision to trade laine to fill buffs spot they should fold tbh. The guy is gonna be a perennial 40 goal scorer. Paul Maurice does not properly utilize him and it’s just a fact that he should be getting over-extended looks on the 1st line. Sign him to 3x7 and get the f*ck going.

Nah, Winnipeg values the team way more than any one player. Chevy better get the hell out of town though!
