The buzz around Patrik Laine as been electric all week long.

It was recently announced that Patrik Laine has been released from the NHLPA's player assistance program. Now that Laine can start considering his options, what does that mean for the Winnipeg Jets?
Many fans are wondering if a rental situation could be in place for a potential Patty Laine reunion. The Jets are no strangers to rentals, and fans will remember most notably Paul Stastny, who was a rental in 2017-18 and then returned in 2020 to rejoin the Jets.
Despite a tough ending to their relationship, Weibe points out that both Laine and the Jets may regret how things went, and they would have been better off finding mutual ground to stick together. Is it too late to go back to that? Maybe, but it could also work. However, the asking price would likely be too high for the Jets as they would be unsure about the risks of taking him back.

The sentiment around having Patrik Laine come back to the Jets has been somewhat mixed. Even if Laine returns as a rental, theres no doubt it would benefit the team in every facet.
