Player Discussion Patrik Laine: Part 2 - Healthy Living Edition

Acquired WITH a 2nd round pick, 16 goals in 36 games playing a not very productive line and Habs fans still find a way to complain.

We don't deserve shit 😂

We can complain about his effort sometimes, but yeah, his production are top notch and he play better since the break of 4 nations.

I'm very confident that he will be even better with a Demidov type of guy with him!

If someone give me a 2nd Round pick and another player for absolutely nothing, can that player have, at the very least, a decent Corsi FFS! :nono:
 
Going to jump into the thick of this, with an acknowledgement of being a fan.

Laine when drafted was seen by at least one Finnish commentator as being the most defensively responsible forward since Koivu. I couldn't understand that for a long time (Barkov was there in between) but it makes sense. He is not great at defending (sometimes even bad) but he does genuinely try. He is not defensively talented but he makes the responsible moves.

He is mostly in the correct spot covering the correct opponent. He can try to get a little fancy instead of flipping out the puck.

And ofc we acknowledge that he would not be in the league without that ability to shoot the puck
