Thread: Lines When Fully Healthy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooney</b></div><div>I'm genuinely torn about the deal. All in all, I would have liked for it to NEVER get to this point and have us lock up Laine long term. With that being said, I think Dubois is a great fit in Winnipeg, is a player that will sign long term and gives Winnipeg an extremely solid 1-2 punch like you said. I would still rather have Laine, but acquiring PLD in a Laine deal is probably the best we were ever gonna get. I agree CBJ got better value (my opinion) but I can't complain about getting PLD.</div></div>

Jets fans are gonna see the impact PLD has on the game. Driving his line on 5vs5, PP (not like Laine, but might make it more unpredictable/versatile), PK, FO's and defensive play.
Sure wont be lazering bar down on the left side on a PP, but the jets will be better IMO.
I also wonder how much this trade changes the culture. THis is just my take, but it sounds like Laine came into the league cocky and demanding top minutes with the best players. Was he wrong? I dont know, I think the jets couldve used assets to get him a C earlier on.

Thread: just a dash
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gfy</b></div><div>Did you make the playoff last year ? And you miss it by a couple point. Having a back uo goalie that can actually win game is not trowing money in the trash like you said. Every Dollars on that roster is well spent. Brossoit is absolute trash and getting a goalie like Ranta would allow Maurice to rest Hellebuyck, a key in a long playoff run. The game have such a high pace these day that goalie cannot played 70 game no more. Murray have been injured a lot i gave you that but when he is on ice he is a good defenceman. actually he would already be the third best defenceman on that team. He look healthy with New Jersey but it might change who knows. If he remains healthy all year i can easily see sign a similar deal then that plus 2 years is not a very big risk. At worst he will end on the LTIR</div></div>

I just hope one of Heinola, Samberg or Stanely can make that jump to avoid having to pay a Murray .

Thread: Laine
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pond_Duck</b></div><div>Lol.....I can tell Jets fans are not a fan of that trade, have fun with PLD, don’t worry when he tries he’s actually a good player, and he’s probably better than Laine, once again depending on if he tries.</div></div>

Im a jets fan and I like the trade. PLD had a rough go with Torts (it's a long list) and he quit on the team to get moved...that's a dick move, but I wouldnt define him by it. I watched every second of that Pitt-CLB series and he was a legit superstar on both ends of the ice. He reminded me of a young Getzlaf at that time. Of course, one series doesnt make a career, nor does one shift.
THe way I see it, Laine wanted out cause he couldn't play with the toys the older kids had. He wasnt going to re-sign and the situation had the potential to be volatile. Jets were deep at wing and acquired a top 6 C that plays in all situations. I loved Laine...the guy got me outta my seat numerous times, but he gone...on to the next one
