At first look. I agree. Laine will score 50 soon.
Who knows though. Could work out fine for both teams. If each player wants to play for their new teams lol

Sure , but when you are trading Laine they shouldn't have had to add. They essentially just gave away roslovic for nothing

Laine > Matthews

Matthews > Dubois

Dubois > Laine

It's like rock paper scissors.

This is kinda funny.

I suspect because Roslovic hasn't and won't sign with the Jets and Laine will be RFA at the end of the season.

Looks like the Jets are also retaining 25% of Laine's salary.

He won't play in Columbus and you think he'll play for the Peg?

He'll play with who ever he's dealt to - probably the Jets. It's interesting that only plugs - except Jones have any sort of NTC on their deals with CBJ. It's probably because any quality player will only sign a short term deal there and players are happy to be traded out of that sh!thole.

Can anyone think of an example where the 1st and 2nd picks from the same draft were teammates?

I’m sure there are examples - I just can’t think of one.

Lindros and Falloon.

If I’m getting a Washington Sentinels jersey, I’m getting a Martel.

Falco chokes when the game is on the line.

After all the bs they have dealt with they deserve it.

They got a good young top 9 forward for free.

The only thing that makes any sense is that Laine is RFA at the end of the season and Roslovic wanted out.

They were a bit over a barrel... but yeah, a 3rd coming back the other way with PLD seems a pittance.

All the guys coming off elc deals dont qualify to have a ntc so they all get out beforehand lol.

Downtown Columbus is actually pretty nice.

If I’m getting a Washington Sentinels jersey, I’m getting a Martel.

Martel is an ass and the whole team quit on him 5 seconds after he crossed the picket line. Bad choice.

How long before Laine demands a trade?

extremely boring compared to other NHL cities.

I don't think he signs there in the offseason.

so what about the CBJ and Jets trade eh!

does CBJ move Laine for a center?

This is a deal I don't particularly like for either team. Dubois did not deserve that return, and will Laine stay in Columbus and sign?
Roslovic won't get much press, but he's real good and BJs get their first hometown player.

"Extremely"? Really? I dunno, I've been to Columbus a few times and I've always had a pretty great time. Lots to do and some nice restaurants and pubs to hit.

Sure, it's boring compared to big cities like NYC, Chicago, LA, etc. but there's only a handful of those.

Conclusion: it's decidedly NOT a poophole. Can we at least agree on that?

I’m guessing you didn’t see Falco in the Sugar Bowl.

It's ok but I get why players wouldn't think highly of it.

Agreed. We had a great time.
