"We want players that want to be Blue Jackets and Patrik made it clear that he thought a change of scenery was best for him." - Don Waddell, on Laine's trade.
"Laine's arrival made him one of the crucial pieces of a Blue Jackets' rebuild, powered by free agent signing Johnny Gaudreau and established homegrown talents."
"Laine, 26, has two years left on his contract worth $8.7 million annually, and the Blue Jackets will not retain any of his salary in the deal."
