Patrik Laine waiting for talks to pick upAugust 16, 2019 | 11:56 AM

Patrik Laine isn't sure what is happening with Winnipeg because there hasn't been any contract talks this summer. Laine isn't sure what that means for his future with the team, but there hasn't been much movement with lots of high-profile restricted free agents. "Well you never know. It's still business, you've got to be prepared for anything," Laine said Friday. "But yeah, you never know where you're going to play next year so I'm just prepared for anything." He added that he will stay in Europe until he gets a new contract.
