No. Paul Maurice is the single biggest reason Laine is struggling. He broke Laine with empty promises of more icetime, forced him to become a 2 way player and has ruined the powerplay so that Laine can't even score any powerplay goals. And the worst thing of all is that if it wasn't for Laine's spectacular play lately, Paul Maurice would've most likely been fired now. It's like things have gotten so bad that Laine has Stockholm syndrom.

He's really not. What has he ever won? (besides the record for most losses in NHL history)

I don't dislike him or anything, but I don't think there's any case to be made that he's the right coach for Winnipeg. His results really aren't good

I think he had to be extended to be exposed for the Seattle expansion draft?

Lets just say they are not writing Christmas card to each other or on good terms
.. Ehlers have always been Maurice Scape goat.. for some reason Maurice have never liked the way Ehlers play. Ehlers TOI have been declining the last 3 seasons. Take a look on some of Ehlers underlying numbers and who he is playing with and how little PP he gets... i would say he and Vrana are some of the most underappreciated players in the league.Im 100 procent sure he will ask for a trade this off-season when Maurice is still the coach

Your world frightens and confuses me
Too little too late. Laine needed more icetime after scoring like Gretzky and Bossy in November 2018. 18 goals in one month wasn't good enough to get more icetime. The only thing it got Laine was more talk of 2 way play. Paul Maurice and Winnipeg management was more interested in sandbagging Laine in order to get him signed as cheap as possible, than to actually support him in becomming the best pure sniper that the league has seen...

I thought I heard it was demanded in contract negotiations? Maybe that was just conjecture.

You're being terribly disingenuous to Laine's play last season. Outside of one month, he was absolute hot garbage. This year he is a million times better. He's driving the play way more than he ever has.
WHAT AM I DOING TRYING TO MAKE A COUNTERPOINT TO MULLETMAN!?

Hmmmm that's weird. That's the first I've heard of it. Not saying I don't believe you I just haven't heard it before.
Probably was something I absorbed off of radio or hfboards with little or no truth to it.

I like to put those in a category I call "Things I pass off as facts to friends and family"
Normally gets me in trouble lol
Laine was only terrible after Paul Maurice denied him his god given right to more icetime. It's only natural that Laine wouldn't perform after being denied his rights.

Are you f***ing kidding me.
I am f***ing stunned at our management signing this mediocre coach to an extension.

Yes.
Do I think he should be on the top line? Yes....the team's best goal scorer should always play alongside the team's best centre. Not rocket science. (unless you're Paul Maurice.)
