Very interested to see what happens with Laine on his next contract. Obviously he still possesses that one outstanding scoring dimension which is always a premium in this game, but he's a few years removed from his 40 goal season now and hasn't exactly convinced the hockey world he's maturing in other aspects of the game. With a flat cap I'm not a lot of teams will be in a position to trade for him and pay him. And in Columbus the coaching fit doesn't seem great at first glance.
