He doesn't seem to have Barkov's work ethic or attention to detail away from the puck.

Laine's goal scoring potential is huge, but I don't see anything in the rest of his game to see him to become this elite overall player. Seasons of 50 goals and 35 assists wouldn't surprise me. Seasons of 100+ points would since I don't think he's got the creativity/passing ability to rack up enough assists.
unless he scores 80 goals and 20 assists :)

The truth is that nobody knows what the "real" Laine is. He scored 18 goals in November. Then he scored like 5 goals in 3 months. Then he looked really good for a few weeks. Then he went back to not doing much. This is after last season when he scored 44 goals behind only Ovechkin. Next season will say a lot about what kind of player Laine is. There's no doubt that this season has been a disappointment.
