Columbus journalist reveals the truth about Patrik Laine's attitude in the locker room
Columbus journalist Aaron Portzline, who has been covering the Blue Jackets for so long, had a lot to say about Patrik Laine.

He was the one who revealed that Four Columbus Blue Jackets players reportedly demanded Patrik Laine leave the team.
However, the Columbus journalist adds an important clarification.
Despite the rumors, the complicated situations, and what many might think, Patrik Laine is a good teammate!
Aaron Portzline also had a lot of positive things to say about Kent Hughes' new acquisition, Patrik Laine
Here's a statement that will make you extremely happy to read.
Nevertheless, Aaron Portzline assures that he never perceived Laine as a cancer in the locker room, far from it.
«Last season, more than ever before, you could feel that he was trying to establish himself as a leader in the room. He really took Adam Fantilli under his wing. Fantilli even stayed at his house for a while,» he shared.
«I don't think that's something he would have done before. He really made a step forward. It was something new for him,» he continued.
- Via TVA Sports and the Journal de Montréal Wow! So Laine is very serious when he says he has made significant progress as an athlete and as an individual.
We had no doubts about his attitude, despite the unfortunate rumors, but we must admit that this statement really pleases us.
Let's hope everyone can read it and spread the word!
Patrik Laine is not a problem in the locker room, far from it, and he genuinely tried to become a good leader in Columbus.
If he can take someone like Ivan Demidov under his wing, as he did with Adam Fantilli, it will be extraordinary for the Montreal Canadiens.
