One thing I like about Stastny on the wing, is it gives Gustafsson a shot at 4C, but didn’t Maurice already say Harkins is getting that chance? Tonight he is. Vesalainen is in also.

He's better than anyone else in the bottom half. So, you have a player that can take faceoffs, if needed.

Goalie Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 I actually like this trade. Perfetti can be brought in as a winger next season CSW. PDE. Sick top 6 moving forward. Thin on the right wing side but maybe Vesalainen helps out. Dudes got size talent and skill.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 And, Lowry is your best shutdown centre, who will match up against the other team's top line, anyhow. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Laine didn't wanna be here and I'll bet Columbus moves him for a 1st and prospect at the deadline. Rumors are the money ask is quite high. Why did PLD want out. If you believe rumors he is a big family guy and wanted to be closer to them. Dad lives here. Also some rumors are Columbus has a few MAGA supporters as leaders and PLD did not see eye to eye with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickem Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Digging a little deeper and my take is that this trade was affecting play....Laine played the first game and definitely was showcasing his talent....did a helluva job too, but his team mates had a good idea of what was going down...I noticed a definite uptick in all of the guys on the bench when Laine was suffering his 'so called' injury (not buying that one)... I think a lot of this behind the scenes stuff was affecting play.. Winning in Ottawa twice was a good thing and I think everyone is happy all round....Laine was being protected so he didn't get injured before the deal could be made...same for Dubois....and now that it's a done deal, I bet Laine is back on the ice for the Jackets pronto....Not too happy with the 3rd rounder for Roso ...thought we should have had a second BUT it is what is...I think it's a good trade for both clubs ... Dubois is certainly going to be happy going to a better club and if the money works out for a long term deal with him...we're laughing Edited January 23, 2021 by Stickem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb1 Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 I remember being at the Bombers game and watching the Jets draft Laine, the elation i felt that day is now matched by the sorrow to see him go. We lost this deal just like when we traded Selanne. But we have to move on.....Go Jets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustamente Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Down the road this trade will be beneficial for the Jets on the ice and off, we have been looking for a bonafide number 2 for a long time, unhappy players just bring bad juju in the dressing room and on the ice.

Emotionally this may feel like the Selanne trade, but the return here is a legit 1B centre, not some prospects and pixie dust in Kilger and Tverdovsky. Selanne ended up in the HOF. We will see where Mr. Laine ends up. As was said earlier, not likely Columbus. Edited January 23, 2021 by Tony Fresco blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_gold_84 Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Pretty shocked but I guess it turns out the rumours regarding Laine's contentedness here were, at the very least, partially true. A real shame to lose such an offensive talent, IMO. But the return is good - and better if Dubois re-signs here in the near future. I was hoping for something higher than a third rounder for Roslovic but it is what it is at this point. This team looks lethal down the middle and that's crucial in today's NHL. I just hope whatever attitude problems Dubois had in Columbus stayed there. I don't think Tortorella is a good coach with younger players and Dubois didn't seem to be an exception. Looking forward to seeing him in a Jets jersey, anyway. He's a very talented centre. HardCoreBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Jets got absolutely hosed on that trade and way to many people trying to talk themselves into thinking it's a good deal. I wouldn't say it was as one sided as the Selanne or Evander Kane trade... but the Jets absolutely should of received at least a top 4 d-man or a real prospect on top of the 3rd round pick coming back. Potential 50 goal scorers do not come by frequently.... Bryan Little like centers are not impossible to find. I really think they could of got more for Laine. As for Roslovic leaving, not a huge loss he didnt' really have flashes of brilliance when he played with us so I don't think we will miss him.

But the Jets added a bona fide #1 center today. Jets fans WAY overrated Laine and are continuing to do so.

sweep the leg Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Gotta love our size and skill at centre now. PLD won't score like Laine, but it's not like we lack the talent to score without him. PLD's all-around game is better than Laine's, and he plays a more important position. His fancy stats are very good too, for people who care about that. JCon, Tony Fresco and blue_gold_84 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
