Seems like I?m one of the few who actually likes this for Winnipeg.
While I think Winnipeg totally botched up Laine and gave up way too soon on him, nor did they get full value for him, I think they are better because of it.
Dubois to me seems like a dynamic talent who was just in a wrong situation (yes, through fault of his own too), and should thrive on the Jets. While I think Laine is going to a situation/team as well as under a coach in which he won?t realize his full offensive potential. He has Rocket Richard potential ? the Blue Jackets nor Torts seem like the place for him to go for it.
I suppose the most ironic thing of it all is that Dubois is exactly the type of centre Laine needs, and vice versa.
