Real dramatic turn of events involving star player Patrik Laine
We just learned a huge piece of news live from Columbus.
Star forward Patrik Laine will be left out of the lineup today (healthy scratch) by head coach Pascal Vincent. Wow.
You can guess that this is causing a lot of reactions!
Laine earns nearly 9 million dollars per season for several more years. Let's say that it's very expensive for a player who is left in the stands.
Laine, 25 years old, is a forward who stands 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 205 pounds, drafted 2nd overall in 2016. He accumulated 52 points in 55 games last season, 382 points in 471 career games in the NHL, but only three points in 9 games this season.
Details to follow.
