Patrik Laine does not want to go to just any NHL team – “Picky”
Patrik Laine has not found a new NHL team, even though there is only a week left until the start of the regular season. Insider reporter Elliotte Friedman assessed in the Sportsnet Fan Hockey Show podcast that Laine has his own preferences regarding a potential playing location.
Friedman hesitated on how to describe the Finnish player’s attitude towards different options.
– I don’t know if “picky” is the right word…
He clarified his thoughts later:
– Laine definitely has certain types of situations and teams that he would prefer.
Friedman did not say that Laine has received or rejected contract offers. Throughout the summer and fall, the forward has been linked in rumors to teams including the Los Angeles Kings, Florida Panthers, New York Islanders, Anaheim Ducks, and Detroit Red Wings.
Laine played five regular season games last season with the Montreal Canadiens. By the end of the season, he was healthy in the stands.
