Don’t see it.Ehlers gets things done all over the ice. If someone legit asked me to trade Laine for Ehlers I'd do it in a heartbeat. There is more to hockey than just shooting the puck. Ehlers does all those other things better than Laine by a country mile.
I see Ehlers carrying the puck with speed through neutral zone, gaining the zone, holding the puck for awhile and then nothing happens in the end. Except perhaps a turnover in ozone or at offensive blue line. Rarely does his holding the puck and looking to make a play result in a dangerous scoring chance.
Laine doesn’t do that granted, but as the late man in the zone, has the ability to finish off the rush.
If Chevy moves Laine, he better draft Jarvis or Quinn or both, or this team will struggle to score goals.
