Thread: Bringing Back Laine desc
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>That’s what happens when you ask for a trade with 0 trade protection or any control over where you go. I felt bad for him in the first place, but he wanted to leave. He chose to leave. He can deal with that situation now. Apparently the Jets locker room is so much better now too without him.

I wouldn’t even give up Niku, Ves and a 1st for Laine at this point. Everything I thought was bad about him, he’s been worse at in Columbus. He can score, and I wouldn’t complain about gaining 35 goals at 2LW, but I think there are too many negatives that come with him. Would rather see the Jets trade for a top 6 winger that would cost less like lebanc.</div></div>

Jets were a stable team with good vets and were winning and reaching the playoffs. I can't imagine what he would do on a bottom 10 Team or a rebuilding team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jimmyjets</b></div><div>This is pretty much the plan.

Niku's going to have to have quite the season to be taken instead of Harkins or Appleton, but we've got the depth to cover the loss of any of them.

I don't see us breaking up Copp - Lowry - X but Gus should be ready for at least the 4th line spot next year so it's all good. If we need to extend Stastney for another year or 2 we can't afford Coleman but that's fine because we'll also need to have found a spot for Vesalainen.

Really hinges on if Perfetti is ready to make the leap to 2C and if Samberg or Heinola can handle top 4 minutes.

Love how we're set up from a cap perspective all the way through the flat cap years.

The one thing I'm thinking about is can we move Pionk+ to get a better RHD PPQB?

P.S. signing Letestu as a 37 year old is hilarious.</div></div>

Buffalo has a large Finnish RHD who excels as a PP QB.

You may have him.
