Well, Laine is going to learn that he doesn't have to change his game as Columbus will just be forced to change their coach instead.
Torts was getting a lot of hate already for his SEEMINGLY mishandling of Dubois (which I don't think he did personally), and he seemed to be doing some PR work there bringing that up after the trade.
Laine is sitting there thinking: "Yep, Torts is on his way out." I think he is. Only way Torts coaches beyond this season is Columbus does really well. I think he is done in Columbus. Maybe it is just perception and nothing else to see here, but time will tell.
