NHL Transactions / Re: Dubois to WPG for Laine and Roslovic
« on: Today at 02:12:58 PM »It's hard to see this as a bad trade for Winnipeg in the sense that while I think Laine is a good player I'm pretty skeptical there's a fair big money long term deal you could sign him to right now that would look right. Everyone here is "Well, if he gets back to scoring what he did..." but do you sign him on that basis? Because Laine at, like, 7 years/10.5 per is a pretty dicey proposition even if you think the last few years were just a hiccup.
That said while I think Dubois can be an excellent #2 C it's really hard to think Winnipeg couldn't have done better here. Only getting a third thrown in seems pretty weak.
