He is expected to go second overall in this year's draft, but Patrik Laine has the tools of a generational talent.
Patrik Laine started the season as the presumed number three pick in the draft, but as the season progressed, he mounted a challenge for number one. It is not difficult to understand why when watching the big winger play.
Plenty of teams will be looking for a top six winger, and Laine could fill such a void in the upcoming season. He has size, intelligence, and a shot that is incredible for his age. He would undoubtedly bring scoring with him wherever he lands, and will be one of the rookies to watch next season.
