I know this talk has been out there for a while but it seems strange that this can't be resolved to everybody's satisfaction and it's coming to this?

However, the Jets have remained engaged in discussions involving Laine and in Thursday night’s “Insider Trading” segment on TSN, Pierre LeBrun reported Laine’s agents believed a trade is best for all parties.

“His agents also made clear that it’s fair to say that given that Laine knows his name has been in trade discussions, and given that his usage in the lineup the last couple of years has been a constant topic of conversation – the fact that he doesn’t get consistent first-line minutes – his agents, Mike Liut and Andy Scott, do confirm that it probably would be mutually beneficial to both the player and to the team if Patrik Laine is traded, and that there is clear communication between them and Kevin Cheveldayoff, the GM of the Winnipeg Jets, about this.
