Quoting: MisstheWhalers
Can really only score, had more assists then goals but let's keep up this false narrative, think it's hilarious that literally being good at the hardest thing to do in hockey is somehow viewed as a negative, too ****in funny!
I never said scoring is a negative thing. But Laine is not even close to being WPG best player and since the jets have a lackluster defense, a player who is better all-around would be more beneficial
Patrik Laine:
(stats are based on players who have played 500 minutes or more. this leaves only 16 players)
13th on the team in CF% (the higher the better)
6th on the team in most shots for (the higher the better)
5th on the team in most shots against (the lower the better)
2nd on the team in most goals for (the higher the better)
5th on the team in most goals against (the lower the better)
7th on the team in most scoring chances for (the higher the better)
5th on the team in most scoring chances against (the lower the better)
5th on the team in most high danger scoring chances for (the higher the better)
5th on the team in most high danger scoring chances against (the lower the better)
Laine is really just an offensive player who can score. He doesn't drive play well and is terrible defensively:
