He fired his agent and now is relying on teams to reach out to his friends

Do people refer to Laine as "Pat" Laine now? News to me. I like it though.

So did the Sabres go on Toffoli's Facebook page and ask his friends what they thought of Buffalo? Seems risky. Why not just go through agents?

Remember when I said the team who miss out on Pietrangelo and Krug would probably look at Vatanen, Brodie, maybe Barrie. But you said Ceci was the consolation prize. And now suddenly Brodie and Vatanen are "in the news" while Ceci is AWOL. Funny.

“ Leafs are going to try to get at least one if not two for the price off one if Alex Pietrangelo returns to St. Louis.”

No poop Sherlock! Is there even any other D out there worth Piet money? If Leafs can move out Andersen, 2-3 D-men being signed for sure but almost for sure they are looking to sign 1-2 D-men. They have to replace the 2 roster D that they are losing this year. Sandin is not ready to plan above 3rd pairing yet and Holl is a 3rd pairing guy too.

The Jets won't be trading Laine anytime soon, especially to the Habs.

There’s definite inches from Toronto and it seems to be growing by the day here.

I would ask for clarification on this but on second thought I’ll pass😟

What if the Habs offered: Drouin, Dannault, and a 2020 first round pick?

Then hopefully Bergevin hasn’t offered that. Cause I don’t want Laine at that price.

Well according to some posters on the Jets board, Laine is a "generational" goal scorer.

They would argue that the Habs are getting a discount at what I just proposed.

It's possible that this isn't about Brodie, but instead about Pinocchio?

The fuq did I just read? Have you suffered a stroke Eklund? I hope you’re ok, but that is the only logical excuse for this garbled post of nonsense.

That is a steep price, Laine IS an incredible player he's already technically had 4 30+ goal seasons and is still only 22. This season he showed he can do more than just score goals, starting to learn to play more of 2-way game, 6'5 210, big body that can score at will is exactly what the Habs need. Habs do not have a legit superstar at forward yet even though Gally is still a superstar in my heart. It's possible the contract negotiations muddied the waters a bit for the Jets but I still say they'd be really stupid to move on from him at 22 if they didn't have to. The opposing GM would have to overpay big time and Chevy would have to be blown away. I still hope we trade Drouin.

The Panthers are trying to convince Mike Hoffman he's a power forward.

When you know Laine as well as Ek does it's "Pat Laine." Same goes for Pat Bergeron. Pat Roy. Pat Sajak. Ek knows them all.

Power Forward Mike Hoffman will sign with the Jets. Then Power Forward Mike Hoffman and Pat Laine will be traded to Pittsburgh with definite inches from Toronto for Malkin. Malkin will be The Man in Winnipeg.

The paragraph on Sami Vatanen (aka Sam Vatanen) was very odd. Ek says the stay in Carolina was brief but WE made a big impact..And they were all very impressed with YOUR skills. Who wrote that? Sam's wife? Something is strange here.
