Patrik Laine's Bargain Bin Audition: Which Contender Takes the Flyer?

Patrik Laine's time in Montreal didn't work out, but the former Canadien still has the skill set that made him a top-five pick, and some budget-conscious contender is going to take a calculated risk on him this offseason. The market for Laine will be defined by teams willing to bet on a bounce-back rather than teams convinced he's broken, and the fit matters as much as the price tag. This is the kind of low-risk, high-reward signing that could either look brilliant or embarrassing in hindsight.
