Patrik Laine trade talk will have to wait until the Columbus Blue Jackets player leaves the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program.

A player can be moved while he is in the program, but teams interested in acquiring Laine want to speak to him before pulling the trigger on a deal. No NHL team official can talk to a player while he is in the program..

“Teams keep checking in to see if there’s anything new,” Waddell told the Athletic. “I tell them, ‘You guys have to be comfortable with (Laine), and I can’t help you.’ I don’t know the player personally. I’m not one to try and trick people either, so (we) made him available to chat (when he’s cleared).”

Waddell wants to make a hockey trade to move Laine as both sides looked to part ways.
