Columbus Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine was cleared to return from the NHL/NHLPA Players Assistance Program, it was announced Friday. I'm curious what he would want contract wise, what you guys think he's worth and whether you would have interest IF price was right and we could afford him as right now we cannot with Swayman likely taking remaining cap space..

I'd want Columbus to retain half his salary probably but I doubt they do that. We won't have the room anyway as you mentioned!

I'd want Columbus to retain half his salary probably but I doubt they do that. We won't have the room anyway as you mentioned! I honestly thought his career numbers were better..He had ONE season where he averaged a pt per game, 2021-22 he had 56 pts in 56 games..Scored 30 goals way back in 2018-19 season, no 30 goal seasons since BUT here's what really surprises me the most..He's actually younger than Jake DeBrusk for example, drafted 2nd overall in 2016..He's still only 26..Too bad we cant afford him, perfect 2nd line replacement at the right price but he's a risky signing for any team, and maybe Columbus wants to keep him..If he could return to his earlier numbers, would you trade Charlie Coyle for him?? CC might be one of the highest paid 3rd liners in the league if he slots in there but hard to imagine cause he put up career numbers playing alongside Marchand..One thing is certain, CC is far more reliable than Laine in my opinion, a NO from me and I'm far from being a Coyle fan but he did have 60 points last season, been awhile since Laine even done that!! Laine has 2 more years at 8.7 million, makes him untradeable unless Col chews up at least 60% of that vast overpayment!!

Rumours Jeff Marek is done at Sportsnet Any reasons given? He must have done something pretty serious and I guess eventually the story will be told. He was the source of some of the trivia I used here , if you listened to 32 thoughts you probably did well . What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas 🤷♂️

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas 🤷♂️ He didn’t seem like the wild crazy party type but maybe he let loose and said something to the wrong people.

Yeah the last part was a joke I can’t see him doing anything crazy either, in today’s sensitive world maybe he offended someone it doesn’t seem to take much 🤷♂️

I think the landing spot for Laine is probably Montreal or Utah. Of course rumour has it the Leafs are in on him too somehow but we know that's a crock of shit haha.

Seems like a good signing although only 2 yrs.. Interesting that there are no clauses attached to it so he could still be dealt fairly easily at some point on that deal. I am sure rumours will continue to swirl!

Yeah I thought the number was a little high. I suppose they think that if he had a great year again he might command more like 9.5 million a year on his next deal so try to get ahead of it and save a little bit now. I forgot about the Daigle contract. Saw this little write up on it: "...the Senators and Daigle came to an agreement that saw their newly drafted prospect receive a contract for $12.25 million for five years – the largest starting salary in NHL history. The number was so steep and Daigle’s performance was ultimately so non-warranting of it that the league eventually introduced a rookie salary cap a few years later to prevent such a gross transaction from happening again."

Pronger was drafted second behind Daigle and Pronger never forgave Daigle for his comment “ Nobody remembers Second “ and pounded him in every opportunity 😂. I listened to both Players interviews on Cam and Stricks podcast excellent content.

I didn’t realize that Faber was drafted by LA. He played at the University of Minnesota so Billy Guerin got a long look at him for 3 years. They got a first and Faber in the Kevin Fiala deal. Guerin is turning that team around, he inherited a mess but he’s definitely fixing it

The networks know a minute or two ahead of time what Player is being drafted by a given team so they can organize there logo’s etc . Apparently Marek was giving this information out and the Person was posting it on social media. The NHL didn’t like that so Marek was fired.

I think because in today’s game there is gambling involved 🤷♂️ “Marek had come under scrutiny from the NHL during the first round of the draft for allegedly revealing to a friend which players teams were drafting moments before those picks were publicly announced, according to league and media industry sources. The NHL shared concerns about the situation with the Nevada Gaming Control Board, which probed further.”

Jeff Marek spent 13 long years with SN so why would he stoop so low..Sports gambling is actually what some do as an income, some get addicted to it just like any other addiction..Not saying Marek himself gambles but maybe he do, his friend I would imagine is deeply involved and it costed Marek his job..Dont look good on him moving forward, wonder do he land on his feet??
