A well-known analyst comes to Patrik Laine's defense, and it's disastrous for the Blue Jackets

The Columbus Blue Jackets have never been known as a legendary or successful organization in the NHL.
This has been the case almost since the team from Ohio joined the Bettman circuit.
Patrik Laine, arriving from the Jackets, was quite unproductive in Columbus. That's why the Canadiens were able to acquire him at a low cost.
He will therefore be given a chance with the Canadiens for the upcoming season. Laine will be in a more advantageous position in Montreal, that's clear.
The Blue Jackets seem to be a graveyard for some talented players like Laine.
«The Blue Jackets have never been anything more than a game on the schedule.» - Craig Button
It's hard not to agree with him to some extent. The Blue Jackets have been disappointing for a long time, despite having had some strong seasons in recent years.
Before blaming Patrik Laine, it might be worth considering that the issue lies with Columbus.
We'll see this year...
