I kind of agree... Why move Stastny to wing?  So Lowry won’t be on the 4th?  IMO he’s a solid 4C.  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.

But Stastny should be in your top 6. He's better than anyone else in the bottom half. So, you have a player that can take faceoffs, if needed. 

[Goalie]

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.. 

 

[JCon]

And, Lowry is your best shutdown centre, who will match up against the other team's top line, anyhow. 

[Goalie]

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. 

[Noeller]

Stastny at RW is just fine....no issues with that at all.

Anyone want a Laine jersey????

Armia is not a 20 goal scorer.

Well stats wise he was heading towards 20 last season before shutdown.

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

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!

I liked the look of Harkins out there, he's definitely going to get more looks the way he's been playing.

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.

I don’t know enough about Dubois to just whether I like this or not from the hockey side.

I caught him couple times last year. I would have said he was 2nd  maybe 3rd year Schief but gritty.

[Dr Zaius]

Center depth is how you win in the NHL.

Scheifele
PLD
Stastny
Lowry.

That's how you ****ing win.

I was doing the same thing.  It’s rough for sure....  But we’ve made out WAY better than we did with the Selanne trade.

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.

Let’s just hope he’s happy here.

[blue_gold_84]

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.

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.

This is why my jersey will never have a number on the back of it, because eventually it will get dated

I'm not crying. You are.

Numbers don’t get dated, so much as the names do.

If you’re crying from that, you must be a mess at rom-coms.

Blank jerseys are the absolute worst kind of jersey fail. It's why there's so many of them in Calgary. So many pretend fans.

Not at all. Laine is a great player, no doubt. But the Jets added a bona fide #1 center today.

Jets fans WAY overrated Laine and are continuing to do so.

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.
