Not enough for laine. Make it a 1st rounder instead and it is a win for both teams.

Is this some kind of joke???!!

That Burakovsky contract is atrocious, and no way in hell the Avs trade Byram for a one trick pony like Laine who is also due an extension.

Are you high? Laine is awful defensively well he would have to play defense to be awful so he’s non existent and needs an extension. The Avs have zero interest in Laine. Zero.

You could play nothing but defense, but at the end of the day all that matters is goals. Goals win games. Not defense.

Really? Tell that to Avs fans. That just watched the highest scoring playoff series in the last 25 yrs and they still lost. Such any easy no from the Avs.

The narrative that Laine can’t play defense is stupid, he was a lot better defensively this year. Actually he was one of the better defensive forwards on the Jets. He was the hardest back checking Jet and he was honestly pretty good all around. Jets aren’t in a rush to move him, or they shouldn’t be. Jets decline this trade.

Yep. I bet they would like to have scored more goals. And maybe not had to use their 3rd goalie.

Ur high bud, he is holding his own defensively and was one of the best ones on our team this year.... check facts first

Btw u don’t have to worry though he isn’t going to the Central anyway

If I'm up by a goal in the last two minutes of a game, I don't need more goals, I need to prevent the other team from scoring. There's a name for that, I believe...

Holding his own defensively? Tell me how a guy manages a negative rCF every year of his career while having heavily waited offensive zone starts, is holding his own. He is BY far the worst top 6 winger defensively on the Jets. How about you stop looking at guys without fan tinted glasses bro. Seriously, holding his own? Get real.

The best defense is a good offense. If the other team is digging the puck out of their own net all game they don't have time to score goals.

???? U isolated from the hockey world news? Watch some games bud. only Ehlers and Copp were better there

Ps. All of our guys took a bad hit on their numbers this season, losing 4 of the top 5 defencemen in a single offseason does that

Schiefle, Wheeler, Ehlers, even Connor are better defensively than Laine. But hey you know how many games I watch. Regardless it’s a dumb trade that COL isn’t doing.

LOL pretty easy to see how many games bud, ask any jets fan, they’ll say the same, btw don’t worry bout the trade no chance Chevy does that

Whatever you say sweetheart

Aww I think ure cute too, don’t think it’ll work out though.... just not compatible. Sorry

He's better defensively then any of Connor, Scheifele or Wheeler.

Not to mention how the ridiculous systems Maurice runs leads to ****ty defensive outcomes, seriously it's so ****ing dumb.

This completely ignores how the game is actually played. Under your "plan," a team would be required to score constantly against a team trying to stop them. It's completely impractical.

Laine was the Jets second best forward after Ehlers this season, I watched Scheifele give up on plays this season and get outmuscled by all 165 lbs of Conor ****in Garland but Laine is "bad defensively"?.. 😂

If Chevy doesn't want to pay him seriously just put a for sale sign on the franchise and stick to being an AHL city cause they clearly don't know how to run an NHL organization, when a star drops in your lap you should do whatever it takes to keep that guy!
If you don't realize that you shouldn't be in the league, period!

Ni!

well then Graves will get more
Jost contract is like 0 percent
Laine trade denied by WIN big time

NNNIIII!

I like it: 7 hat tricks. Burakovsky needs to replace Donskoi in the top-6 tho.

Next year Makar will need another $8M per. But Cole, Calvert, Bellmare, Zadorov and Seattle will offload salary for: Kaut, Bowers, Byram & Newhook. Then they'll prob have to lose Donskoi too. It's gonna be tight.
