Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet: The Winnipeg Jets haven’t found a deal they liked enough to trade Patrik Laine.
On Thursday a report came out with a ‘passive-aggressive non-trade request’ that a trade could be mutually beneficial. Was not able to get a comment from Laine’s camp at press time.
If the Jets do move Laine, they can’t just give him away. He’s still under contract with a $6.75 million salary cap hit.
The Jets signed center Paul Stastny, and when asked if it may help/change things with regards to Laine, GM Kevin Cheveldayoff said.
