A package from the pens would have to include Marino. Then add

yeah no, even this is an over pay for a guy you have to move.

Lets be clear about it. No team is destroying their whole team to add him. He's a good young player but he's not elite level.
He's not even the best player on his team.

our defense is instantly very weak.
Granlund isn't getting close to 6M.
Legare isn't ready most likely.



yes which is why PIT says nope.

agree. is he the dynamic 40 goal scorer and the next Ovi (as was thought a couple years ago) ???
or is he the contract dispute guy who turns into a lazy winger who slumps for long periods of time???
prob in the middle. WPG can't sell high rn at all.

Dude is 8th all time in goals scored under 22. Its ahead of Crosby. He is a generational goal scorer. You aren't in the stratosphere

Nothing there makes Winnipeg even think about it.

Pens laugh and say hell no. Laine isn’t worth that.

you are trying to compare him to Crosby and I'm not in the stratosphere?
put the pot down.

He's not even the best player on his team and you are here acting like he's elite level. He's not. He's a good player but no one is confusing him with that level. He's not a Crosby, Kane, McDavid level talent.
I'm sorry you don't get that. But that is reality.

And as I stated before. No team is destroying their whole team for him. Trades just simply don't work that way. It's why all teams trading good players lose the trade.
But you clearly are unable to figure that part out.

CBJ say no thanks, we've already got 13 bottom-6 forwards.

The jets don’t have to move him. They can simply give him what he wants - minutes with schiefele. It’s not like he doesn’t deserve it.

So they only trade him unless they get exactly what they want

I did not compare him to Crosby who is obviously better just used him as an example to show how elite his goal scoring is.

I think Rust and Poulin and the 1st and 2nd is enough. They are getting a 28 year old, top 6 RW, in Rust(who scored 27 goals and 56 points in 55 games last year). Getting a top prospect in Poulin(who is NHL ready) and a 1st and 2nd round pick. That’s the going rate for a star player. A top 6 Foward or top 4 D-man, a top prospect, and a 1st round pick. I think adding Petersson is alittle bit of an overpay. I guarantee the Jets would take B.Rust, S.Poulin, and a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick.

Rust scored 27 goals last year and 56 points in 55 games last year. Laine Scored 28 goals and 63 points in 68 games. For anyone to think Rust would entice WPG is crazy. Plus Poulin who is a top 50 prospect in NHL and is NHL ready. Plus a 1st and 2nd for Laine who is a stud but a FA after next year too.

Granlund no way is getting 6M a year either. Everything I read is saying 1.5-3M for 1 year this year is what he’s gonna get.

yeah it's the rest of his game that isn't. And most people understand that.
Which is why he's not even the best player on his team.
You are kidding yourself on your return.
No team is going to blow up their current team sending over 3 roster players. And you sure as hell won't get a young guy who's looking like a 1RD +++++
More likely you'd be swapping a guy like Marino for Laine 1 for 1. Not that I see the penguins even accepting that. They wouldn't.
Nor do I think a team like VAN would do Hughes or COL Makar.

You won't win a trade with him. Get that thought out of your head. You will never get the value back you think you are owed. Which is why teams don't make these kinds of deals to begin with.

I don't know that's not the feeling I get here. Like there is already contention between the player and the club. Not saying he doesn't deserve a better center. But he also has not been their best winger either.

He arguably was this year. I mean he was better than Connor (contrary to common belief). The only one who was arguably better was ehlers as he was dominant in all facets of the game

I mean schiefele was our best forward hands down but laine and ehlers are close 2nds

Dude I'm not a Winnipeg fan. It's not about what I'm getting. Also Marino is not in the same world as Makar or Hughes.

I'm just tired of everyone else undervaluing him.

Last summer Islander fans were saying they didn't want to trade Wahlstrom for him as Wahlstrom would be as good. That's totally delusional

Marino is definitely in the same world as Hughes, we'll see abot Makar, it's one season.

No one is under valuing Laine. The whole point of trading for Laine for a team is to either A. start a rebuild which means they don't have the kind of roster players you are really looking for.
Or B. push them to a cup. In which case they aren't blowing up a team trading like 3 roster players away. That doesn't make them better. Especially when they are guys in your top 6 and top 4.
This is why teams don't win those trades. They get picks. maybe 1 guy. That's it.

I never said otherwise. Likely a young player and a mix of top prospects and picks....

Why such an overpayment for Granlund who was garbage last year? He’s not gonna make anywhere near what he made last year let alone $6M lmao
