LOL. Uh, yeah. 62 pts in 194 career games. He's awesome. Even being on a line with McDavid, he'll be the weak link.
He rebuilt his confidence last year. Obviously if you're playing with McDavid, you're not going to be the best player on that line but he was definitely not weak either. He really was very good last year and got better as the season went on.
Of course Laine has potential to be better than Puljujärvi (and has been this far in their careers excluding last season) but you're sleeping if you don't think Pulju might score 60 points this season. I don't think anyone's expecting much more from Laine in Columbus. Pulju's playing a much more well-rounded game so if they get same amount of points, you can bet the Bison King has been more effective for his team.
