Apparently the Rangers were shopping him, but took him off the market due to the low offers they were getting.

I'm thinking the Rangers would jump at an offer like this. I'm guessing they'll hope that a new year brings improved play, and perhaps a better offer for him at the trade deadline. At this point I think he is what he is, and I wouldn't give up more than a 2nd to get him.

Columbus realizes it is time to move on, not replace, but try to start a new fresh era.


To Columbus:

Leon Draisitl @14.5 for 8 years starting next year. 8.5 mil this year

Darnell Nurse 9.25 mil

for:

Boone Jenner - $3.75mil
Zach Werenski -$9.583,333 mil
2025 1st rnd
2026 3rd rnd
2027 2nd round

Obviously, this trade scenario was devised before Drais actually inked his new contract with the Oilers.

I wonder though if this mock trade would have been mulled over by the Oilers and possibly accepted?

My two fav teams Habs and Jets.
Being from Winnipeg there are my home team. Even if I don't live there now.
I was hoping that they would have done more in the off season. But Winnipeg isn't that attractive city compared to other NHL cities and plus the taxes. Hard to find players to sign.
Now the only real trade commodity is Ehlers.
WPG
Ehlers
CAL
Andersson
2025 draft pick.
As of right now biggest move WPG made was to trade McGroarty
WPG
McGroarty
PIT
Yager.
I think WPG has a good team but idk about a good deep playoff team as it is. They still need improvements. But then so does every team.

Habs have been busy improving their team. Whether they make the playoffs or not they will be a little more exciting team to watch.
MTL
Laine
CLB
Harris
Trade I questioned. But it is a win trade for Habs for at least 2 yrs anyway.
Habs goaltenders are a question mark. For now. But Fowler is highly prospect. So the future should be better.
Anyway you look at it Habs should be a good, strong playoff team in a few years. They need another cup!
Can't wait for the season to get started !

MUZZA: I can't wait to have hockey back too brother!

27 Aug 2024 16:10:06
Ehlers doesn’t fit with flames plans to old. Trade would be for youth.

24 Aug 2024 00:21:28
I can't believe MTL traded for Laine.
MTL
Harris
CLB
Laine
2026-2RD.

Thoughts on this trade.
I don't know if it's a good one for the Habs. Unless Laine can return to a 40 goal scorer.
Maybe St. Louis can work his magic on him.

Another note
For Winnipeg Jets.
Thoughts on WPG signing Klingberg to a PTO.
If healthy, he can help with the powerplay. Tall Right side defenceman. Done side is his defensive play and health.
Thoughts.

Muzza, im really excited about adding Laine. I think this guy is a top 5 sniper in the league. Obviously he has had some personal issues, however, the fact that he actually went to deal with these issues shows me he is maturing. I have a lot of faith in Hughes and Gorton and they did a lot of research to see if this guy is ok.

Habs haven't had a really exciting goal scorer since Richer in the 80's! . Maybe it won't pan out, who knows. But as a fan who hasn't seen alot of offensive talent, im excited.

Hey Sodahabs24
If Laine can return as player he was when healthy then I agree this is great for the Habs. Finally have a sniper. And they play him as such. But my concern is at a salary of 8m and his health, mental health at question. I know he had help with his mental health.
But I know there will always be a trigger. But there is hope. Hopefully this is exactly what he needs a new start on a team that believes in him
I agree with he might be or will be the best goal scorer Habs had in decades.
I’m also a Habs fan. So this could skyrocket their rebuild .

24 Aug 2024 17:10:46
There is deffenitley some risk with adding a player like Laine, but the reward is huge. So, let's just see what will come. It's only 2 years if it doesn't work, so the management didn't screw up the future if this experiment fails.
As a Habs fan since 79, I can't remember being so excited for a season to start. I'm not saying they are gonna contend, but they should battle for a playoff spot, playing meaningful games at end of season. It will just be fun to watch the kids all take one more step at becoming a really good team.

24 Aug 2024 18:57:53
I’m actually looking forward for this season as well.
If Liane stays healthy and Dach can stay healthy. I agree I think this team can finally make to the playoffs or at least come close and play, like playoff hockey trying to get into the playoffs. This would be great experience for the younger players. Give them a taste.
Goaltending is still a minor question. But think they’re good enough to help get the Habs to the playoffs. Beyond that. Who knows. Playoffs is a whole new season. Anything can happen.
I’m also looking forward to see the hab’s projected lines for this season.

24 Aug 2024 20:24:40
Yes goaltending is still a concern. I'm not sure who they will overtake to make the playoffs, as all the teams will be pretty strong still and others also are up an coming. But to watch the growth and possibly a push to make the playoffs, will be good. Lots has to obviously go right, like you said health will be key.

MTL can’t lose on this trade. They have the cap space, and even if Laine doesn’t turn out to be a piece, they turned a glut on D into an open slot for another kid like Hutton.

If nothing else, Harris was a 3rd that they turned into 2nd.

Whether Laine becomes part of the teams future, or a rehabilitated trade chip like Monahan, the Habs have done a shrewd trade. Laine is likely on his last NHL chance too, so he has every motivation to be the best he can me.

21 Aug 2024 06:08:42
Cal: corranato, 2nd. Nash: Askarov. I think preds would want a 1st , but a 2nd with a very young ready middle 6 guy maybe? I'd like to see the 2 best young goalies split time and figure it out later. I've seen a few different things Nashville is wanting so no idea.

22 Aug 2024 01:03:03
See where you are going with proposal but from Calgary perspective not sure giving futures away is in cards at this point.

22 Aug 2024 04:03:18
Buy out vladar and save cap, not like Calgary needs it, they could take a cap dump player also. I don't know who that would be though.

22 Aug 2024 15:22:06
Anyone know if teams can trade dead cap space? If so maybe Duchene cap space Askarov svenchkov for Anderson.

24 Aug 2024 01:43:48
Guess not 👆. Lol.
