What decline though? He arguably had his best offensive season last year. Almost a point a game player. He lead the team in P/60, 4th in ESP/60, 4th in total points. In 18/19 he was 6th in P/60 and 16th in ESP/60, 4th in total points. Seems like he became a much better 5 v 5 player. He was a -24 in 18/19 and a +8 last season.Nik said:Not sure if we need a general rumours thread but some of the Laine trade talk interests me. I'm not sold that it's happening, I think they'll take a look to see if he can jumpstart things with Stastny but if it does I really wonder if it'll be the steepest decline of any player in the league in my lifetime that wasn't about an injury.
From what I've read, he's upset because he isn't playing on the top line with Scheifele and he's kind of proving he belongs there. He's 22 years old. If he was signed for the same term as Nylander, I'd def be tempted to do a one for one trade for him.
