I doubt both teams achieve such. Too much selfishness and entitlement from both players for such loyalty.

Will be interesting if both move on first chance they have as UFAs. That would be my guess.

Jets do get one more year of RFA control from PLD before he reaches 27.
I also think that because Laine broke into the NHL as an 18 year old, he is eligible to become UFA by 25. I think it's age 27 or 7 seasons, whatever comes first.
