2 years of Laine for 3 years of Skinner? “Jeff, Columbus isn’t that far from Toronto”
 

I don’t even know if it would be an upgrade but it would be a year less contract wise.

I could see them moving Laine to Utah. I doubt they'd want Skinner. Waddell is not an idiot. I doubt anybody wants Skinner.

Probably but I can see Laine be even harder to move. Missing a season for mental health reasons with that salary is a hard move to make. Team would have to know Laine is fully ready to compete and play again.

Laine lost his dad that suddenly passed away. And his dad was also his best friend, his biggest support and advisor. Laine tried to be professional and also had some injuries to deal with. I am not suppriced it went the way it did with Laines health. But I think he will be back almost as good as ever. A team change on the other hand could do good.

He is not just a PP specialist, but the pp goals he get are important for his coinfidence, and competing with Thompson for those goals is not good for neither of them imo. I would pass on Laine even if we traded Skinner for him.

AHL game 7 CLE vs HER. Bears were up 3-0. Monsters won 3 to tie it but just lost the series in OT 3-2. Wow.

Monsters almost finished the epic comeback. Game 6 when the bears scored with less than 1 min to go in regulation to go up by a goal the monsters tie it back up to send it to overtime then win it to go to game 7. Last night it was a back and forth affair Bears up by 1 in the 3rd which is almost automatic win for them. Monsters got a goal with about 7min left and ended up going to overtime. They had had some good looks but got the dreaded delay of game penalty which is about the only thing that a ref can not overlook. The Monsters fought that off but the Bears kept the pressure on right after and put in the winner.

Waddell gets to pick his own guy and likely has somebody already in mind. Probably also means a change in direction and/or style of play. Some guys get to work right away. 

He'll interview at least 10 people for the HC job because that's what NHL GMs do.

 

🤨

🤨

As an aside, there's no Rooney Rule obviously since that would be kind of impossible but if you interview someone from Europe does that count as diversity for hockey?

You mean, like, someone with a Swiss passport for instance?

Overpaid for his current production.

Good faceoff guy. Gritty and will drop the gloves. Two Cups with Tampa. Southern Ontario guy.

I would gamble on him, bring him to camp and if he is done waive him.

only 4 goals in the regular season but 6 in 16 playoff games.
