Who scores more goals next season: Evander Kane or Patrick Laine?

Laine AINEC

You know when you've been up too late when you thought it was Evander Kane vs. Patrick Lalime.

I was really hoping for 3rd option of Patrick Kane for full confusion factor...

Kane, he'll be next year's Krieder where he'll pop off for 45-50 without ever reaching 30 before.

He’s scored 30 twice, but I get what you’re saying. He’s for sure a candidate to explode playing with McDavid.

If Laine gets to play with Gaudreau I think his goals will rise back towards what's expected of a player with his shooting talent and that'll be more than what Kane does with McDavid. Should be close though.

Surprised this is close. Kane will score more.

Laine won't even hit 40 goals

Laine was on pace for 38 goals last year without a passer like Gaudreu.

Who is the centre that will play with Gaudreau and Laine? Which team will have the better PP? I just don’t see Laine scoring as much as Kane, considering the level of offensive skill around him when compared to who Kane will play with.

E. Kane was on pace for 42 goals playing in Oilers last season.
Laine was in pace for 38 goals last season, and will now get additional help from Gaudreau.

Good poll. Should be close. Went with the homer pick in Laine, but could go either way.

Basically 4 players in play for the top 6 center spots. It'll probably change a lot but it'll be one of Boone Jenner, Jack Roslovic, Cole Sillinger and Kent Johnson.

Kane has a new 4 year contract , he seems like the kind of player who only plays big when he's in a contract year , ( good but not great otherwise ) going Laine here .
