Patrik Laine is possibly the most talented natural goal scorer the league has seen since Ovechkin. His shot makes him a threat from anywhere inside the blue line.
He’s 22. He’s probably not gonna be an altar boy. He’s probably going to have some maturity issues. Fix them.
The kid is a 6 ft 5 210 lb wingers who averages 34.5 goals a season.
When you have the chance to acquire that player, you take the shot. You have a better chance of doing something noteworthy with Patrik Laine on this roster than Sam Bennett and Noah Hanifin.
They’re not dynamic players.
