Laine traded to the Blue Jackets!

So much for Laine coming to Carolina.

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.

@zacka77ack What were you thinking trade package wise for Laine?

And don’t say Seth Jarvis just because he’s from here

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.
