Earlier this week it was announced that Patrik Laine was cleared to return from the NHL Player Assistance program which threw his name into many more trade rumors. The Finnish winger and former 2nd overall pick has proven to be one of the best goalscorers in the NHL when he is on his game but is also streaky.
A recent rumor was reported by Eklund of HockeyBuzz.com stating that there are four teams in the running for Laine. Check it out.
Laine struggled in 2023-24 playing in only 18 games and scoring only nine points but before this, he was looking like a bonafide first-line winger.
Hopefully, for Laine, and whichever team lands him, he will be able to find his stride again and go back to being one of the best goal-scorers in the NHL.
