Patrik Laine's situation in Columbus is one to watch since the rumors intensify for a trade.
With his desire to leave the Blue Jackets and the changes in the team's management and coaching staff, it seems like both Laine and the organization are preparing for a potential split. If Don Waddell can find a suitable trade partner, Patrick Laine might get the fresh start he's looking for, but it's still uncertain where he might end up.
Adding Dean Evason as head coach and other new faces like Sean Monahan and Jack Johnson haven't changed Laine's stance, so a move seems increasingly likely.
