Player Discussion Patrik Laine: wearing a regular practice jersey

I read it here. Someone wrote that the coach was asked if Laine would play this weekend, and he responded, "is Sunday this weekend"... anyway, was hopeful. Seems he might be playing next game with the Roy send down.

Maybe he'll make us better.
I was wrong about everything else this year. Why not this?
I was much more interested in seeing what Laine could bring at the beginning of the season. At this point, I just want another high pick. Laine will probably help ruin that

To be honest, it is probably better for Laine personally to come back to a team that has been struggling rather than a team holding down a playoff spot.
He hasn't played an actual game in a calendar year so it is going to take him time to get up to game speed. With the rest of the team making mistakes non stop, there won't be as much pressure on him if he makes any errors.
I don't have any expectations on total amount of goals for him to score the rest of the year, but my hope is he can develop a bit of chemistry with Dach to help get Dach some confidence and back on track.

Laine didn't stop Columbus picking 6th and 3rd in the draft.I was much more interested in seeing what Laine could bring at the beginning of the season. At this point, I just want another high pick. Laine will probably help ruin that
He's not going to be some sort of savior some people in here are expecting, even if he managed to stay near PPG.
Saviour no, but he might help them get out of the basement. I want that first pick!!!

Just hope he is healthy and has the hockey gods look after him a bit

Same here. All I wish for is enjoying skillful hockey and that players stay healthy. Although hockey is like a religion to me, it is in truth mere entertainment. Play hard, stay safe, entertain us boys.

Don't trust anything you read here without a source as most of them are misinterpretations, straight out fabrications and conflations.
