I would LOVE to sign Laine and get Semin. In his prime he was over a point a game without a negative season. I think his negatives were unfairly exaggerated because he didn't become the best player in the league like some thought he should. His teams didn't fail to win because of him, they were otherwise flawed.
Exactly, everyone remembers the 30 year old Semin - the guy was beast for like 8 seasons in the NHL when he came into the league at 22. Laine scored 40+ goals when he was 19!
