Over 50% of the voters believe Laine is one of the most overrated players. I wonder how far he'll fall in the drafts next season.. if he returns that is.
Given the nature of the poll and by some rationality, it will be the players with the least amount of votes who are the least likely to meet expectations next season:
S Crosby, R Dahlin, A Barkov, J Saros, M Scheifele.
He's missed double digit games each season since the 2018-2019 season, including more than 20 games each of the past two. The greatest ability is availability, and Laine seems to have both physical and off-ice personal issues clouding his availability. Let someone else take the chance.
I don't really think Laine is "overrated" at this point, I don't even think he's rated very much at all. I think most have given up on ever getting any consistent production from him. At this point he's in pool party or yakupov territory where you might pick him up and hope he remembers how to hockey but you're not getting your hopes up.
