Player Discussion Patrik Laine

[Habssince89]

10, 15, 6, it’s ALL the same! Who knows!

I have no clue how many if any he will play.

I’m pulling numbers out my ass to show that if he plays a handful of games at the end of the season it’s a wasted season for PL, pretty much season ending.

WOW!!!!

WOW indeed. You've proven nothing. bye

Patrik Laine thread 88 pages and counting. Has never played a regular season game.

My bad, I should have chosen simple words and used much shorter sentences, lol.

Hope all you soyboys can handle the news tomorrow. God speed, drink your Pumpkin Spiced Latte's carefully tomorrow so you don't burn your lips in disbelief when the Laine alerts hit the interwebs.

Just remember we will still have Gallagher, Armia, Anderson and Evans to lead us to victory plus Michkov. Oh wait.

Waiting for this player gives me the most hope, tbh.

He's gonna be goooooood.

Imagine both mich and Demi on the habs. It could have happened.

Man I’m pulling for Reinbacher!!

In order for the Habs to have been a potential playoff team this year, we needed both Dach and Laine to be healthy all year and productive. This isn't going to be the case now and the season hasn't even started. So regardless if Laine plays 6 games or 12 games or even 20 games - it's not enough to make a difference. As of right now, this is going to be yet another nothing season.

I won't even get into the Michkov thing. I've said said on that already.

We all know the news , its 3+ months + 1-2 months of rehabs we know he will be gone all seasons or we will back to play 5-6 games at best. We are used to it. We will have a copy pasta of last season. Just pray that Suzuki stay healthy because if he goes down we are bottom 3 bound.

Hopefully this learns Hughes lesson investing in injury prone players. statically you know odds high he's going to continue to be injured. Laine been injured 4 straight years. Gives Kapanen a spot but losing 9 million in caproom when rosters set is painful. Very poor asset management.

We got paid to take Laine and had zero other options in which to invest that 9m in cap space.

In fact we had zero plans to use Carey Price’s cap hit either.

It was terrific asset management.

You must be dizzy from all that spin

Last year it really was for a late blind side hit to his head that derailed his good start. This year it was a hit to a knee. He is injury prone, but not that injury prone. He has been a ppg player with very little support for a while. It was well worth the risk.

It's very difficult to avoid all risk.

In hindsight it's easy to say these things. You also have to factor what we gave up for the potential return/reward. It was well worth it, IMO.

If Laine pots 35-40goals then he looks like a genius (which he technically could still potentially do, if not this year then next).
