Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell has publicly stated that the team hasn't received many offers for a potential trade involving Patrik Laine.
It has been two weeks since Finnish goalscorer Patrik Laine has left the NHL player's assistance program after his recent trade request. He can now resume and begin talking with potential suitors. However, GM Don Waddell stated that not many teams have reached out to acquire his services.
However, there hasn't been much interest in Laine's services just yet. GM Don Waddell told Brian Hedger of the Columbus Dispatch earlier this week that at this point, only one team has contacted him to express interest in acquiring his services.
Given where we are in the offseason, Waddell isn't particularly surprised nor does he expect the situation to change in the near future:
Laine, is currently making 8.5M dollars over the next two seasons, a difficult contract to fully get rid of for the Blue Jackets' management brass.
Teams like the Hurricanes, Canadiens, Penguins and Utah Hockey Club have been rumored to be teams linked to the former 40 goal scorer, however none of them have proven to be serious enough candidates just yet in what may be a premature date.
