Patrik Laine Traded To Blue Jackets In Blockbuster Deal
4 years agoWinnipeg Jets right wing Patrik Laine was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday afternoon. The Finnish forward has been the subject of trade rumors for almost two seasons, despite proving to be one of the game's elite goal scorers. Laine is currently sidelined with an upper-body injury, so fantasy managers will have to wait and see how he fits into the new system. He instantly becomes the top scoring threat for the defensive-minded Blue Jackets, which keeps his fantasy value at a relatively high level. Underachieving first-round forward Jack Roslovic is also heading to Ohio, but he is an afterthought in fantasy formats unless he is provided with a top-six role.
