Patrik Laine is still without an NHL contract, but a recent comment from his wife Jordan Leigh Laine hints that the couple may currently be waiting for news about the Finnish player’s next team.

Laine’s wife spoke on the couple’s YouTube video about the upcoming season and suggested that the Finnish player’s games will start soon somewhere.

– We made one more trip before “Patty’s” season starts somewhere. Hopefully, next week I will post a video about where we are going. Fingers crossed, Leigh Laine said in the video.

The comment was heard in the couple’s YouTube video about their trip to Disney World.

NHL training camps start this week, and several teams will move to full team ice practices on Thursday. Preseason games will kick off over the weekend.

One possible option for Laine could be a short tryout contract. The NHL saw two similar solutions on Sunday, as Toronto took Nick Blankenburg and Columbus took Carson Soucy on a tryout.

Laine has not played a game since last October. He is already facing his second nearly year-long playing break in the last three years.
