Value of: Patrik Laine

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Isnt this a Patrick laine thread... how come there is so much Matthews talk... he has like 40 other threads.

Kessell has two cups with Pittburgh.
Great pick up by the Pens after Toronto ran him out of town.

I wonder when Matthews will go to Arizona to play for the Coyotes.
That would be his dream.

Clearly me stating fundamental hockey facts about the value of a franchise centre vs all star winger makes you angry on a personal level that you resort to troll level replies.

Scroll up, post #101 is a Jets fan purposely bringing up Matthews.

It's a shame that all of the Finnish players in the league are currently being black-balled by their coaches.

Leaf haters bring up Mathews for no reason...but apparently, don't want leaf fans to respond.

Laine has a great shot, but Matthews still scores more... and has probably one of the most deceptive shots in the league.

I believe the difference is timing. Laine seems to take longer to get the shot off which is potentially harder than Matthews but the speed of the release is important because goalies has less a chance to react to it. Matthews is also good at getting the shot off even when checked. 5 on 5 I think Matthews is more deadly but Laine should be more on PP but he just has not caught on fire this year on the PP yet like he used to do. I think Laine need to learn how to score not just with the one timer. I remember that Stamkos had a great one timer earlier in his career but then later he learned to score in many other ways including going hard to front of the net and score on his belly. Goals does not always has to be pretty but has to be timely.

Laine is competitive and I believe he will learn and get better. He is not entirely one dimensional but his line mates will always matter.

Jets fans complex.

100%. Insecurity over Matthews I believe.

Good think that you are not Chevy.
Laine is happy to be in Winnipeg.

Matthews would run back to Arizona to the american team he loves.

Where did I say he was unhappy? We were discussing whether Laine was better than A. Matthews. He is not. I think Chevy would agree with me.

Damn it, shoulda took Matthews..

 

[glucker]

The numbers are basically the same.
lofl

Except for the part where Matthews has more goals and more assists in fewer games.

Im like scrolling through pages of this thread. Curious about Laine's value .

All i see is Matthew is better than Laine

I think his value is 8 to10M a year.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

What would the cost be from Edmonton?

 

[Advanced stats]

Laine is worth Matthews.

Straight up no adds.
Real talk.

How do you feel now that Matthews has 7 more points in 13 less games?

He's played 13 less games? I feel he might be injury prone.

You would have had to skip a a lot of the thread to only notice that one fact.

 

[LAINEC]

Just messing around. If his TOI is still below 16 min. in december and no new contract signed, would there be any takers, and if , what price?

 

[LAINEC]

Patty loves Winnipeg and Winnipeg loves Patty. I think they get that done easily
