For the OP, this was rather expected, no?

I still REALLY want these to be our 3rd.

Oh good lord those would be beautiful.

 

[Lempo]

You need not believe me but I've actively felt from before the Draft that the only thing to do it even better would have been with them dressing him into the 90's white jersey. Undoable of course, but...

It's somewhat iconic for the Finns.

Those are some beautiful jerseys. As to Laine, he's going to be a good 1. Best player in this draft class if you ask me.

 

[agent082]

Sounds reasonable because his mother is coming to north america to clean Laine's house, to cook and to make his laundry etc. for at least next year if not longer.

 

[Curufinwe]

I wonder how much is that

Already answered, but you can see all the details here.

Good quick signing by the Jets and Laine. Now to concentrate on making the big team this fall.

I agree.

Laine, Connor, Roslovic, Spacek, Morrissey, Green, Stanley and young Ehlers.

This is going to be a very fun team to watch.

Laine reminds me so much Of Mike Bossy it is insane! Can't wait to see Laine in action as he truly seems like the real deal. ConGratulations Jets Fans and fans of Great NHL Players.

Awesome news. Now to figure out if Patrick will play on Line A or Line B


Ok I'll show myself out

If you are saying the 90's white jersey would be undoable because that team went to Phoenix, I'm not sure that's true. I believe True North owns all the rights to the old logos, jerseys designs, etc.

Line A would be the lost logical...

Coaches sometimes come out and say where players like this will play to start. Any news on who will center him to start the year or nothing yet?

Maurice has said that he doesn't want to say yet. He said he intends on trying Laine with many different centres. I'd expect him to start with Little and play with Scheif later in the year.

That too was a concern of me, but foremostly it couldn't be done because obviously they won't use anything but the current official look for such an event and certainly not merely for the pleasure of a bunch of Finns. Much easier for the Oilers to pull off with Puljujärvi, though, and only one number smaller than Kurri at that.

We may actually see Selanne and Laine in the 90's look next to each other in the Heritage Classic.

I hope he files the Finnish version of the US 709, if applicable. Seriously, good for the kid.

So selfish. Only gives it to mom and dad, not extended members.

Tax law professor from University of Helsinki gave a comment to the media that he shouldn't donate to his parents, because that way it's going to get triple taxed (income tax, charity/gift tax and inheritance tax).

It's funny how even stuff like this makes big headlines in Finland.

Charity isn't deductible in Finland and recieving gifts is heavily taxed, up to 35%.

Not so funny, what the prof says was pretty much my secondary initial reaction too. And obviously it prompted in the comments the discussion immediately. Totes should pay tax to Finland, the ice-halls where he trained are taxpayer-funded etc etc, the usual. Well, the next one in Tampere certainly seems to be, but anyway.

I stand where I stand with the F1 drivers. When they can pursue their profession, which is driving F1 Gran Prixes or playing NHL hockey, in Finland, we can talk about taxing the income.

Though, I would think not too many Russian KHL players have yet filled the forms for their Helsinki games.

PK Subban donated 10 million to children hospital and we are discussing if Laine should or shouldn't give 10 000 to state of Finland. Some even calling him stupid if he pays.
