Lol, some guys take this stuff way too seriously.

Potential Laine trade to Carolina. Ideally I would love to include Svechnikov to the deal as well.

To CAR: Patrik Laine

To WPG: Dougie Hamilton, #13OA pick

Next up: Chicago

If Laine is on the block the Jets will have a lot of teams making offers to get him. I think the Jets would want quality instead of quantity in any trade scenario. So trades that include a gaggle of 2nd pairing d-men, 2nd line forwards and draft choices shouldn't be considered. The Jets have Laine as a RFA for 3 more years so they don't have to trade him now.

If Dougie came with an extension in place, yes

Sure and with Maurice coaching him, his value will continue to tank. Like I said previously, Maurice is not going anywhere. Laine will continue to spiral downward as a result.

Sad but true post about Maurice and not only Laine's development but the teams as well.

I would actually sh*t myself. Hamilton might be the best defenceman in the league. Holy crap

I criticized your Laine trades earlier for them not being good for the Jets and now you're expecting too much.. Lol

Make them somewhere in the middle and you'll be about right with them.

I'm about 99% certain that Laine is done as a Jet, it'll be a mistake trading him, hope that the smallest market team in the league knows what they're doing if they're trading the biggest star they have but considering Chevy's trade record in the last few years I'm not expecting this to be good for the Jets.

Do people realize Bennett is a passable 3rd liner, and Hanafin is not a top 4 defenceman?
Depending on what you’re getting in Lindholm, it might not be enough for Laine

Cause waiting like they did to make a Trouba trade netted the Jets a huge return.

Laine is way better than Trouba though but yeah waiting till the last possible minute isn't a good idea, I don't understand why they'd even consider trading Laine but Chevy has been on a downward spiral the last few years so guess it shouldn't come as any surprise.

Most realistic trade you made, provided like ross said you get him to sign an extension.

Thank you, I am working on getting better with my trade proposals.

- Rexypoo

A passable 3rd liner is better then some of our non 3rd liners we have now.
How is Hanifin not a top 4 dman?
Lindholm is really good and a 1st, that's a lot for Laine and I'm a Laine fan.
Just can't see a team parting with that many quality assets for Laine, in the end the best Laine trade will be no Laine trade at all.

Potential trade for Laine to Chicago. Since this is an inter-divisional trade, Chicago would pay a premium for Laine. So here I go.

To Chicago: Patrik Laine

To WPG: Dylan Strome, Kirby Dach, #17OA pick

Next up: Colorado

I will try and get all the teams done prior to the draft.

Hawks aren't trading two centers for anything including Laine, you need to consider other teams needs when making a trade proposal.

I don’t think Chicago makes a good trading partner.

Interestingly Eklund is reporting that the Bruins are involved in the Laine sweepstakes. Here is hoping they read my trade my trade proposal that I made for them and they are getting ready to offer that for Laine.

- Rexypoo

You must be joking. A decent Dman, but he wouldn't make my or most hockey writers top 10. Guys like Carlson, Heiskanen, Hedman, Josi, Karlsson, Weber, etc are leaps and bounds ahead of Hamilton. New stars like Makar and Hughes also will be top 10 shortly.

I'm not sure why Buffalo doesn't make a deal with NYR for 1st pick. The Rangers need a center as they are deep on LW. Eichel wants out of Buffalo. Last I looked, the Rangers just created all sorts of cap space.

IF NYR doesn't do a pre-draft trade, then cutting a deal with LA and moving back one spot and taking Byfield ( a top-notch center) also makes a lot of sense for them.

Would Ottawa trade 3rd, 28th, and 33rd Picks for 1st. NYR still gets the center they need in Byfield or Stutzle ? Ottawa still would then have 1st and 5th.

Some Laine for Eichel deal also makes a ton of sense for the Jets. Maybe offer Copp or Roslovic as the sweetener. The only cog in that trade is Laine would need to sign an extension before a deal gets done. Heres to hoping ....

NHL Draft OCt 6th is quickly approaching.

If top talents are not available on D like Drysdale and Sanderson, which by pick 10 is highly unlikely than I can't imagine the Jets not taking homeboy Seth Jarvis. The wildcard for the Jets remains Askarov and if he gets drafted somewhere in the top 9.

I think that Chevy has got to be thinking that the longer-term contract advantages of drafting a kid from Winnipeg outweigh the slight negative that Jarvis might only be ranked 12th -17th. I'm already penciling him in as a Jet.

Yes, it should be an interesting night, at least some hockey talk.

Think you should pencil Jarvis in like you say, not use ink. But, of course, he remains a possibility. Hoping Detroit or Minny take Askarov.

My guess is that the Jets take Quinn the RW, C Lundell, or d-man Sanderson if he should slip, which is possible but highly unlikely.

A lot depends if the Jets trade Laine. If they do, and Sanderson is gone, as expected, they take Quinn or the Swede Holtz, also RW. But guessing game.

I would speculate that Quinn, Lundell, and Jarvis will be the three choices available, and the Jet's pick Jarvis. Jersey also needs a goalie but they are a bit high in the draft to take Askorov. Doubt he goes top 10. I do believe a Laine trade pre-draft will have some draft implications.

Potential Laine trade to Colorado.

To COL: Patrik Laine

To WPG: Bowen Byram, Samuel Girard, #24OA draft pick

Jets get two more young defensemen. Colorado pays a premium for Laine with the pick.

Next up: Columbus

Hamilton was the leading Norris favorite on everyone lists last year before he got hurt.
You are way off base on this one. Like not even close.

I think it’s very possible one of Perfetti or Rossi fall to us
