Laine is getting better and better.

Just need that year 1 and and when Stastny arrived confidence back in his game.

He'll be almost the total package in terms of what he can do offensively with his size.

Hovering top 20 in scoring
Avg a point a game

I think he will explode sooooon......
Just need that

Machismos
Bravado
What ever you call it...
In his game that i dont see as much anymore since the western conference finals...

But looks like mentally the team is now in snyc..

Also the last 3 years...

Laine has this 10 games or so when he gets into a hot streak and seems unstopable.

He hasn't have one yet this year.
Hopefully he gets that, if that happens. It'll catapult him in top 10 in scoring...

on pace for his highest shot total (273), but lowest SH%. first 2 seasons 18 SH%, next 1.5 he's at 11.9% and currently rocking a career low at 11.3%. Still on pace for 31g and 82pts. Would actually need to shoot 18% rest of season to hit 40gs and 90+ pts if his shots per game pace remains constant and no change to assists output. Scheifele somehow has been shooting 19% the past 4 seasons, however his SOG volume isn't the same as Laine's

Scheifele is a very selective shooter and rarely takes a low percentage shot. It is probably a good thing for Laine to continue to be a volume shooter since his shot is so good he will score on some of them. Scheifele is also great at puck retreival which also helps keep possession with a volume shooter at his side. You add in Connor with his filthy mits in tight and that line is on its way to becoming something special.

Remember to vote Laine for the All star game:

NHL All-Star Last Men In

Pretty odd that also Barkov is not in yet. I did vote for every top scorer on their respective divisions. It's not that scoring is everything, but others were not even close.
