I'm Finally at Peace with the Patrik Laine Trade

- Patrik Laine was drafted by the Winnipeg Jets, and looked to be a star for many years to come. However, his NHL career took a turn, and he was shipped off to Columbus in a trade. This was something that never sat right with many fans of the Winnipeg Jets, but I for one, am finally starting to find peace with it.

This is so random but Gabe Vilardi was my teammate in NHL 18 when I played my Be a Pro series in Kingston. He was an absolute stud and I had a huge soft spot for the kid so when he was traded to the Jets (my favorite Canadian Team) I was thrilled! Love to see him really shine in Winnipeg!
You’re cringe . Seriously get some help it’s not too late for you .
Agreed it stung. Laine was a show stopper. Loved his interviews and his amazing shots. But what we wouldn't be where we are now, a deeper team and the best version of Jets 2.0
Is it safe to say we gotta start trusting the process when it comes to Chevy? Some of his moves have definitely made me feel sick to my stomach too, but for the most part his decisions seem to pan out in terms of yielding the greatest value for the team, which is impressive considering we have the one of the smaller markets in the NHL.
I came to peace with it as soon as he asked for a trade. And I was right.
Great video again ma dood. Great voice, good analytics. Keep up the great content 🤜🤛
The team looked SIGNIFICANTLY more cohesive even immediately following the trade, even while PLD was still in quarantine. It became less about feeding Laine and more about team play. I honestly thought PLD was pretty good in the time he was in Winnipeg as well, and we got a great haul for him in the trade with LAK.
Ngl i dont really agree, laine had that spark in him and dubois was just an other player.
@@bunkkqcAgree he had that spark. I even think he’s better than Matthews talent wise. But he has to put in the effort and be a better team player. In the end we still made the most of that 2nd pick. imo
@@bunkkqc laine has a world class shot but that’s it. No grit, no defense, terrible skater and can’t create much for himself. I don’t dislike the guy, but the Jets did very well to move on from him. Laine wouldn’t have generated the interest Dubois did because young centres are so much more sought after.
Say whatever you want...Loosing Laine wasn't nearly as bad as Buff...and not nearly as surprising as how much Wheeler was a boat anchor. Every time I want to get mad at Chevy - he totally blows me away.
Byfugluen was hands down the biggest loss this version of the Jets ever had. If Hellebuyck left that would be worse. That's about it though
@@ahahahaha496 I would even put losing Toby Enstrom was worse than Laine...we didn't know how much of a hole there was after he was shown the door.
@@ahahahaha496 When he was still playing, I always felt that, the stupidest thing an opposing team could do, when they played Winnipeg, was wake up Dustin Byfuglien.
He was to the Jets was Larry Robinson was to the Canadiens. Don't wake up the sleeping giant because if you DO, he will KILL you!
Former Kingston Frontenac alum! Loved covering him in his jr career
Winnipeg got players who have hearts ❤ and want to play there in Vilardi and Iafallo. That is all that matters. Floaters demoralizes the whole team and the fan base. It was a blessing that PLD don't want to stay in Winnipeg and Winnipeg got some heart and soul. That's for sure. It is paying dividends this year. Wait until Kyle Connor comes back!
Laine always had a certain reputation. Even back in Finland. Attitude was his biggest problem and most likely the reason why he hasn't grown into the player that people expected. Having altercations with junior coaches etc. Getting sent home from the U18 tourney for having a spat with the coach and shit.
He struck gold when he got to play with a mega stacked U20 team that included guys like Hintz, Rantanen, Aho etc. That team would've won the gold with a cardboard cut out coach behind the bench.
Getting to play with a superstar like Aho on the same line certainly elevated his stock pre draft.
Of course he did deliver in his time at the Jets also, but his confidence was sky high at the time. Winning U20, winning Finnish League and going 2nd at the draft. When pucks didn't go his way, his head couldn't handle it. I guess Laine is used to getting his way and when he doesn't it shows. I also think people expected a lot of him. He started his career on fire and fans expected him to get better and better. The pressure he put himself in was probablyh too much.
I do wish all the best for him. But a sports psychologist could do wonders for him right now.
Feel bad for Patty, he's had a lot of injuries but the guy just doesn't seem to have his heart in the game anymore. Glad he just took that sabbatical, hope he's back
I would like to remind everybody, that it was Laine's agent who advised Cheveldayoff that Laine would not be signing another contract with the Jets. So it doesn't matter what you think about the Laine for Dubois trade. The Jets hands were tied. Also, the first round pick Chaz Lucius has not jumped to the NHL, so the trade isn't yet done for Laine quite just yet.
exactly what ive been saying about him, also the dressing room imo was toxic. Im not going to say names but it was Wheeler .
Outsider here. It's hard to get fair value for a mercurial, disgrundled player. I thought Chevy did well in getting one young, talented, disgrundled player for another. It bought him some time. Then he traded that disgrundled player for a handful of potential, which can really be hit-or-miss. I'm glad he hit. (similar to the Trouba trade) Go Jets, Go Leafs.
When I read it happened I legitimately shed some tears. I was so mad PL. Dubois came to winnipeg considering how he acted in Columbus.
As a Finn im extremely disappointed how big of a downfall Laine has taken, Injuries definitely are big part of it and shit centers but still...
I feel for you buddy. Winnipeg should have played Washington for the Cup in 2018. Ever since then I feel like they've been chipped away at. Trouba and Laine and Stasny. Not to mention Byfuglien. All gone a feelings of missed opportunities everywhere. It finally feels different now though.
Here's hoping Winnipeg gets a parade this year.
Not gonna happen against a team like Vegas/florida/carolina
Canucks fan I'm glad NUCKS never picked him. I am talking about Pierre Luc Dubois
As a Leafs fan, I’m so glad you guys dropped that bum. The Jets and Leafs were two of my favorite teams growing up until 2019 when Laine started playing Fortnite and the whole team took a step back. I’m so glad they ended up getting one of my favorite players in Gabe Vilardi, I honestly think he’ll be as good as Dubois by next season and younger.
I hope the jets win the cup this season!
Laine after that trade he fell apart the coach for the blue jackets at the time was John Tortorella and he was a very defense minded coach and Laine didn't fit in with that style..😢😢😢
Winning the subsequent PLD trade with Los Angeles would certainly provide some closure regarding Patrik Laine.
kings fan here. I hated the trade from day one but tried staying optimistic. So far, I haven't been impressed at all with his play here and even worse, we have him for 7 more years at 8.5 mil. hopefully he gets his shit together because right now its not looking so good.
To be honest, he was a pretty lazy player. And it’s sad that the only good season that he has had was his second year in the league. He was asking too much money and he was giving too little.
As a finn who has followed Laine among others long before the draft I'm not suprised how his career went south. Character is important and this guy was just 100% ego. Something that is reflected pretty well in his defensive play. Allways just standing there like a sack of potatoes.
sometimes people ask a lot because they are being bullied
@@TheNHLRebel laine wasn't lazy when he played for the Jets, in the playoffs (after the finals run) he looked like the only one who wanted to win, (other than the Lowry line) and racked up points. It's hard for a player like him to find a spot though unfortunately, because of jealousy,. and now he seems kinda broken mentally. IF we had a Jonathan Toews style Captain, Laine would have had no trouble.
@Tlilancalqui Sometimes it's best not to comment on something you know nothing about
@@Tlilancalqui Bullied *Translation* teammates wanting for out of him
If they had moved on from wheeler earlier then Laine could have had a home. Would have been nice to trade wheeler for dubois honestly. (lol not that they would take that). but that would have been the best. Mark wouldn't have liked that, but mark has picked up on wheelers bad attitude too
Laine is a borderline bust. We traded the right guy.
I live here and I was happy the day they got rid of him. Now the jets are on the road to the cup and he’s going to have a nice long vacation till next season.
I believe Teemu Selanne played his rookie season in Winnipeg. Dale Hawerchuk played in Winnipeg for many years. Laine would be a fourth liner compared to either one.
Unfortunately we did know the REAL Laine, and the character flaws he carried with him, but to mend my feelings PLD had even bigger problems.
I remember when he was traded it was my birthday what a brutal day
Agree, Laine was a fire hydrant, only a effective with his one timer, take that lane away and nothing
Hype isn't real just like winter
I don't think the Jets gave up on Laine, they just traded him because they knew he wasn't going to sign long term with them similar to why they traded Selanne..... the contract was up and they needed some assets for compensation.
I like Laine but I always felt like he was a one-way goal scorer and he was horrible defensively
9/3ormally i agree. but honestly laine never was great. always had an attitude and massive entitlement. he only had one trick, and once the league figured out to just sit in is area suddenly he lost all effectiveness. to be honest I am not a fan of hellybuck either. Traditionally his save percentage has never been near the top, he only looks good in the good years when our defense actually limits good shots. I dont know any other goalie that lets in as many goals in the first 4 shots of the game do you?
The last piece Jets need is Rasmus Andersson to make a good playoff push
not a Jets fan, Hockey fan, i was happy the day after the trade, he lost his game
Honestly too many Laine fanboys, he’s lazy and he sucks. 1 trick pony. Good riddance Laine and Dubois. Vilardi is better than both!
Those fans want to keep him over Scheifele, shows how very little they know hockey.
Laine was a lazy POS. Anyone who knows hockey could see that.
He could score goals from one spot, thats it. He was slow and put in little effort otherwise.
I'm glad your not the Jets GM
Vilardi doesn't have that star power Laine had, but he shows up EVERY NIGHT. The team's better off with a less talented player than with a superstar who only shows up once every 2 months.
Laine gave up on us first.
Not a Jets fan at all, but when that trade went down I couldnt believe the Jets got so much for such a useless player like Dubois. Great job by the Jets GM.
He was alot like Ladd was, someone who disappeared for ten games in a row, lazy efforts. Bad for morale on any team, glad he is gone and has been a healthy scratch multiple times on his current teams. Man babies.
matthews vs laine wonder who is better lol
Laine because he doesn't disappear come playoff time and because he's made it past the 1st round multiple times.
Laine was good for two years, he's been mid to trash since. People that still bring this fool up..
i love chevy ,i hate chevy ,and now i love chevy again
What you don’t understand is do you honestly think he would fit into the system that the Jets are playing right now ?
Kind of Blake Wheeler's fault too for not giving up first line RW and now we don't have both players
Which is good for the Jets. Without their best player, they are still doing great.
Nope
Vilardi is a beast….Dubois was lazy and will never be a great player if he can’t stick at 1 team
I got death threats for saying moving laine was the best decision to make. He was always overrated.
Big Buff was the star player of that era. Liane was always a defensive liability and woukd go on long scoring droughts. I was fine when he was traded and today the Jets are reaping dividends with the PLD trade. 😅
Lazy one dimensional player period !
Laine is one trick pony. He has the shot, that is it. He will never be a good or even mediocre overall player. Only if he plays with guys like Jack Hughes, McDavid, MacKinnon and others where he only has to find an open spot and shoot. Then maybe Laine will be productive and be useful.
Laine is a lazy one dimensional player. If Dubois played as well as highly as he thinks he is…Don’t let the screen hit your ass on the way out, sadly it did. Go Jets !
He’s a one trick pony.
Too bad the jets gave away a star for near nothing. Laine has the skills to thrill everyone, every night on the ice. Too bad Canadian teams don't know how to get the most of their players. Look at the oilers 🤣 all these self proclaimed superstars and they can't figure it out, Habs looking like hot garbage even though they have great talent, leafs and Canucks aren't terrible, but there's so much more they could get from their players. They all need major help.
You pretty much had him at his best. He sucks now
Laine is a 1 dimensional player. Hes brittle. He has no defense. He is not a team player. He cant grasp the concept of forechecking or backchecking. He can only shoot. .... sounds just like jordan kyrou
Laine never fit in with the Jets. Not to mention he is overly soft, we dont need that.
8 and a half minute video to say the same thing over and over and over and over and…..
I was happy with the trade the moment it happend. He is a lazy player.
Dubois has never been and never will be a star player. LA got duped
Laine is lazy, slow and one-dimensional player with bad attitude. He is known in Finland that he is full of his own ego.
lol jets fans in the shitty west confernce where all the loser teams are, u havent faced anyone good yet like the leafs
Lowry being the cap was a good decision.
I was at peace with he trade a long time ago, Laine's a cancer.
Before this season in finnish media Laine was mentioned to be one of the most interesting players to follow.... but he never was and never will be. I do not think he belongs to NHL with his effort.
@voittolehti2432 He's almost Finnish Nail Yakupov, can put the puck in the net, but work ethic is non-existent.
@@voittolehti2432 Not sure what crack finnish media has smoked, Laine has been absolute dogshit for the last couple of seasons. Even Eeli Tolvanen is a more interesting player currently than Laine xdd.
