"A very speedy forward with great acceleration. Goes hard to the net and likes to fire the puck. Strong along the boards. Posesses agitator qualities, likes to run his mouth. (EP)"

He scored the GWG in OT to win his SEL club the championship. He's a very speedy agitator and probably wouldn't be a bad depth signing, this organization certainly lacks some speed.

No. Laine is speedy and strong guy, but doesn't have much hockey sense and limited skillset. When he was younger, he was both undisciplined and selfish - not a good teamplayer.

Seems that every year the Kings pick up a few College/Euro FA. Nothing wrong with that and once in a LONG while they end up in the NHL...

If he's anything like Jarkko or Esa Tikkanen I'm all in-obviously. Pests with skill are almost gone from the NHL, really a lost part of the game.

He's fast and talks too much. Occasionally gets a point now and then. Only a coincidence he scored the game winning goal in the Elitserien finals.
