I was at the game. Honestly he looked good. You could tell he was new at centre but other than the lack of winning faceoffs he was good.
Laine did reasonable good +/- was +1
The fact he cared enough to go to the coaches and tell them he was willing to help and try center is awesome. Aaron Portzline (Athletic) and Bob McEligott (CBJ play by play) both reported Patty went to the team.
Laine Alpha GOAT > Auston Bieber Matthews
He actually used to be goalie
Why not? They suck anyway – give him a shot.
Buchnevich is playing center for the blues
Besides this year's draft Columbus, has already signed Mr Dumais who has 130 points in 61 games as a Right Winger and 52 points ahead of his teammate. guys that c/b measured against Dumais might be the Kyrou out of St Louis. Why not try Laine at Center… Ottawa tried Stutzle from left wing.
Patrick Kane wannabe
Hahaha patrick laine hahahah good luck with prima Donna
TANKIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGG… why is it so confusing to anyone really
Ty you was the only youtube i seen taking about this.
Speaking of "The games Not Meaning Anything" Is there any chance We might see the Kasper Soderblom line?
Just holding the spot until their guy from Regina drops in after the draft
12 points in last 10 games: 5 goals/ 7 assists;
I am a CBJ fan he played responsible two way hockey and was passing so well in the middle of the ice. He is now doing faceoffs drills with Kuraly to improve and he will finish the season at center. Kent Johnson is also being experimented at center aswell. Laine paid big money why not make him play center we have a surplus of wingers and lack of centers. And these games ultimately mean nothing so I think this is a great idea to try and optimize our lineup.
Laine also had 2 assists again at center Vs Washington
The Habs tried Drouin at centre for a year but that didn't work. Laine at centre might work given time because of his size and higher talent calibre.
When Laine got traded to Columbus, I was joking that Torts would make Laine into a two-way/shutdown center.
Apparently, well, jokes come true…

Apparently Laine used to play goalie
