Blue Jackets GM Waddell trying to trade F Laine: https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2939904

Gonna be hard to move that contract, IMO.

How would a top line of MS55, KC81 and PL29 look?

If Columbus eats some of the contract...

Stars F and veteran beauty Pavelski retires: https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/dallas-stars-joe-pavelski-not-planning-to-play-next-season-1.2129955

Shame he never got his name on the mug. But a HOF career all the same.

Now it's official: https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/veteran-f-joe-pavelski-officially-retires-after-18-nhl-seasons-with-san-jose-sharks-dallas-stars-1.2148875

Pass. The negatives out weigh the positives.

He's been through a lot the last few years and maybe a change of scenery is needed, but I agree. I don't think he's a top 3 forward.

Canucks re-sign G Silovs: https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/vancouver-canucks-reach-two-year-deal-with-playoff-starter-arturs-silovs-1.2148920

When he's healthy he can still score goals and put up points. He would add a boost to our PP. But, he has been injured a lot, you don't know where his head is at, and he's not good in the D-zone.

Rumour was Necas for McGroarty, Perfetti and a pick...

Thoughts?
