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.
