[Hedger] Asked Laine about measuring up against the NHL’s top Cs like McDavid, MacKinnon, Matthews, Crosby etc. “I’m not going to start kissing everybody’s ass or pumping everybody’s tires. I know I can compete with those guys and that’s why I want to do this in the first place.”

Not gonna lie, it’ll be pretty funny if our 1C has been sitting right under our noses for 2 years
LETS FUCKING GO PATTY! PROVE TO THEM ALL YOU BELONG!
Damn, man’s confident.
I dunno if he’s gonna be a McDavid, MacKinnon or Crosby; but I definitely think he could be a Tage.
If you said, “we’re gonna draft a 6’5′ Finn center with an elite shot, NHL average speed, skating and puck skills, NHL above average hockey sense and playmaking, and several years of pro experience”….we’d all be thrilled with him as a top 5 pick.
Oh yeah, we already traded away a quitter and 0 picks to get him and some other roster player. That’s good hockey business
Patty is becoming such a leader. I love it. Patty is an unreal player when he plays pissed off, I hope we see it a lot this year.
Putting the league on notice. LFG.
I hope he wrecks it this year and becomes the 200 ft player we’ve seen in rare glimpses. It’s there, Torts saw it. Maybe now he’s ready to unleash it.
Laine is about to go super saiyan!
Welcome to the Dark Laine era.
