It shouldn't be long before Patrik Laine takes the ice in the NHL.
The Winnipeg Jets selected the Finn with the second overall pick in the draft Friday, and general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff expects Laine to crack the team's roster right away next season, Cheveldayoff said, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Laine is coming off a stellar season after capturing gold at the World Junior Championship, the Liiga championship, while also being named MVP at the World Championship.
