Was... Maurice right? Turning Laine into powerforward eventually? And this has been just the tip of the iceberg?
Again...was Maurice right?!
No this is all natural progression of a player, he would be where he is today physically with or without Maurice. Had he been played to his strengths from the start til now, he'd just have a lot more hardware to show for by now, maybe the team would too. He's always been trending to be a physical beast power forward once he grows into his frame, none of that has changed, still trending strongly that way.
No, Maurice was not right. Laine would be physically in this situation even if he had been allowed to play a proper offensive role with offensive players. The difference is, he'd have a calder and a couple of rockets and Jets might have a banner for the cup.
