Pierre-Luc Dubois, traded to WPG, is an elite offensive play-driver whose defensive game might have been overrated due to the Columbus system. At 22 he's one of the top young centres in the league. #GoJetsGo

Patrik Laine, traded to CBJ, is one of the league's most unique players. He's a lethal scorer and powerplay weapon but a very poor play-driver at both ends of the ice - especially defensively. His finishing was generational in his first 2 seasons but just great since then. #CBJ

Jack Roslovic, traded to CBJ, is a middle-six playmaking centre whose underlying numbers took a sizeable hit last season. #CBJ

Here's the interesting graph on Laine for me: his goals versus his expected goals in his career. He went from the greatest finisher of the past decade to just very good in 18-19. Did goalies figure him out? Did his shot get a little worse? Can he get back to 40 goal form? #CBJ
