Could see it. He has a place there I believe, plus his BFF Paul Maurice is the coach.I bet he goes to Florida
thanks. I thought maybe I had fell through a time travel hole or somethingYes, and this thread hasn't added anything. I was expecting a confirmation or pre-confirmation, not just another reporter's insight
In post-game interviews in the last year of Ladd’s tenure, he answered a lot of accountability-related questions with “I don’t know…” and just looked lost. Wheeler stepped in for him and gave the captain responses, and it was pretty clear that the media would run through him afterwards. He took that bullet.Wouldn’t say he ran out of answers. Ladd was contract greedy so the Jets passed and thank God they did. Ladd was a disaster post-Wimnipeg.
Probably not without a sweetener, cos he'll be pretty cheap to sign as a UFA after he gets his buyout $$.So no takers even at 50%
Did Dreger first report it? If not, he is just hoping we forgot about the first report a few months agoYes, and this thread hasn't added anything. I was expecting a confirmation or pre-confirmation, not just another reporter's insight
Laine asked for a trade out of WPG though? The GM now has to make the best of a bad situation.AZ can probably get a draft pick for taking him
No, Laine's better
With a 5 team trade list probably not. And why would he open that list up when he knows damn well he's going to get more money getting bought out.So no takers even at 50%
Lol if u say soIf they flip Dubois for Vilardi, Kupari, Iafallo, as reported, I think it's a pretty good return for Laine - no?
Believe so. Think there is only 3 left playing in the league, Kane, Bogosian and Wheeler himself.Is he the last of the original Thrashers?
Is he the last of the original Thrashers?
Isn't Laine barely a ppg and injured often?AZ can probably get a draft pick for taking him
No, Laine's better
Laine asked for a trade, so you do they best you can. Rarely do you "win" in a deal. Same story with PLD, guy wants out and asks for a trade, hard to "win" a trade again. I think all things considered WPG make out quite well just getting Vilardi alone.Lol if u say so
Or u ship out the insecure baby in wheeler.Laine asked for a trade, so you do they best you can. Rarely do you "win" in a deal. Same story with PLD, guy wants out and asks for a trade, hard to "win" a trade again. I think all things considered WPG make out quite well just getting Vilardi alone.
It sounded like there was interest (perhaps willingness to give up a small asset too), but not enough to make someone jump the queue. Understandable, I think, as the Jets were massively on the clock here.So no takers even at 50%
Deal is officially: Gabe Vilardi, Alex Iafallo, Rasmus Kupari, 2024 2nd round pick. Seems like a pretty amazing return to me.Or u ship out the insecure baby in wheeler.
Well he'd fit right in with this core group that's for sureI've seen the Canadian media label guys as cancers and put all the blame on them before. I'd take Wheeler on the Leafs for 2M or less
