It's all the arm chair GMs and TSN fearmongering that led to the speculation that Laine wanted out of Winnipeg. Remember that all this talk started when Craig Button put him on the tradebait board. Chevy never really addressed the topic either, and people took that as an indication that he was actively shopping him. I do believe there was some talk between Chevy and other teams on Laine, but I think Chevy intended to hang on to Laine unless there was a huge piece coming back the other way.
