Laine traded to the Blue Jackets!

The Jets made their bed when they decided to pay a 34 year old Blake f’n Wheeler and retain Maurice.

I still believe Laine would’ve signed here long term had they offered him top dollar and put him on the top line (he deserved both). The locker room was split into two groups a couple seasons back and it’s never been the same since.

Hopefully the Jets can lock up PLD long term. His dad coaches here with the Moose (AHL) so it’s not as far fetched that PLD stays as some may think.

Whose locker room?

I'm not sure I wanted to part with anything for him. Canes are gonna need cap flexibility sooner rather.

Looks like some of the locker room problems I had mentioned are starting to come out today. There’s obviously a lot more to it but yeah, like I mentioned above, Wheeler is the root of all the issues. 34 year old loser captain.

So Laine WAS playing too much Fortnite! Too bad he didn't windup in Carolina, he would have been able to fill a squad with Cane's players.

I will preface this by saying I don't like Mark Scheifele as the captain of an NHL hockey team. I think he sets a terrible example as a leader and I tend to believe that he and Laine probably couldn't co-exist given their polar opposite personalities.

Don't get me wrong, I'd have Scheifele on my team for a 2-year year deal, but he wouldn't be a captain if I could help it. Anyone remember this? What the video misses is Scheifele cross-checking Pesce into the middle of the ice, Mrazek then trips Scheifele, and Pesce goes after him.

I was at this game and remember Scheifele taking a couple cheap shots once the Canes got out to a lead.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
