Patrik Laine has burst through the draft rankings this year and it kinda makes sense for him to possibly go first overall.
Patrik Laine has been nothing but dominant in the Finnish league this past season. While the spotlight only recently turned on him as he became draft eligible, his talent has been growing over the years.
Born in Tampere, Finland, the 18-year-old is currently 6'4" 209 pounds. There have been many debates about where exactly Laine will go in the draft. Second overall seems to be the consensus, but some think he should even go before the highly praised Auston Matthews.
