The rumour is that Columbus isn't 100% sold on Puljujarvi. There's been nothing mentioned in regards to their opinion about Laine. If he's on the board at 3 they'll probably take him with little hesitation.
With the kind of season Laine has had as an 18-year-old it really surprises me that there's little-to-no conversation about him going 1st overall. Part of me suspects that it's due to positional bias, and everyone knows the Leafs are desperate for a C. I think Laine is more likely to be a superstar player than anyone in the draft.
