Dynamic between Laine and Jet is interesting. Apparently much of the dialogue between Laine and the Jets is trying to make him comfortable with organization rather than contract talks.
One of the teams believed to have offered an offer sheet are the Blue Jackets but he wouldn't agree to a long term deal and giving up 4 1st round picks for a short term deal didn't make sense.
The Wild tried to trade for Marner when Fenton was still GM but it didn't get far
Faulk's agent claims his client never asked for a trade and doesn't want to be traded. The Ducks trade appears to be dead.
NHL clubs are operating under the assumption that Ristolainen has asked for a trade but Bogosian and Montour injuries might affect how Buffalo handles that.

Byfuglien - a man that size at his age and his ankle is the problem? That doesn't add up to anything positive.
Laine - that ain't good. Where there's smoke there's fire, and you have to wonder if the schism is too deep to rectify. Doesn't sound like he wants to be there, and if they're still trying to sell him on the location and organization after 3 years...yeesh. Trouba of a different nature all over again?
