A day later and I'm still shocked about the trade between Laine and Dubois.
Personally I think Jets should've fired Maurice hired Gallant instead of trading Laine.
It was fun throwing Laine trade proposals, not really thinking it would happen like this.
I honestly thought the Jets would have traded for a top D.
Laine for Hamilton just an example.
Dubois does complete the forward position more than Laine, but D in IMO is more of need.
Honestly thought the Habs would've traded for Dubois. Not that Habs need him tho.

I think the Jets would have traded for a young RH defenseman if one was available, but a young 2C was also a need. Hamilton wouldn't have been an option, unless he was ready and willing to sign a long term, reasonable dollar extension, which is very unlikely. Even then, I think the Jets would have preferred a younger player.

I believe it came down to Dubois becoming available. The kind of players that are an acceptable return for Winnipeg in exchange for Laine are rarely available. So, when one becomes available, you have to make a decision and move quickly. The Jets could have waited and hoped a suitable defenseman became available, but would have then lost the chance at Dubois and could have ended up with no suitable players available.

Had Dubois not become available, Laine would have remained a Jet this season and trade options would have been explored again in the summer.

Who knows in the coming weeks we may hear some of the background issues around both players that contributed to the deal being done now.

My hope is that now that the Jets are very strong up the middle Maurice plays Stanley, Heinola and Samberg to see how they can improve the Jets defense. The have to be better than Forbort, Beaulieu and even DeMelo.
