I definitely think Tkatchuk's narrowed the gap between the two though, and if the trend continues, he could pass Laine if Laine has already peaked. IMO, I think Laine will improve, he's just having one of those inconsistent years. I guess it works out for the Jets since it probably knocks a few million off his RFA contract.

I'd take Chucky because I think there is an edge to his game that Laine will never have,
Unless Laine is scoring goals, he's not accomplishing much.
I also think Laine is simply having an off year and he's a beast at scoring.
