Patrik Laine Facts

Player Type: Heavy ShooterPP SpecialistSniper
Drafted: 2016 round 1 #2 overall by Winnipeg Jets
Agency: Premium

A natural scorer, Laine's greatest asset is his intimidating shot. He's not a speedy skater, but possesses power and a long stride, and protects the puck well with his large frame and longer stick. Overall, skating has been a minor issue through Laine's development but has improved with some help from his ability to read the game. Laine has the hunger to create chances on his own from the wing and actively looks for and creates opportunities to use his shot. His elite wrist shot is notable for its quick release and his powerful one-timer from the top of the circle is a constant threat on the man-advantage. (Matias Strozyk, 2016)

[The puck] was halfway by me before I could even pick it up off his stick (...)
