Winnipeg Jets RFA forward Patrik Laine is heading to Switzerland to train with SC Bern while contract negotiations continue. It has been confirmed by SC Bern head coach, Kari Jalonen, that Laine will only be training with the club and that he won't be playing for them this season.
Since being drafted second overall in 2016 by Winnipeg, Laine has recorded 110 goals and 184 points in 237 games.
Laine isn't the only RFA that the jets need to lock up. 22 year old, Kyle Connor is also without a contract to start the season. The Jets hope to get both of these young stars signed before the 2019-2020 season gets underway on October 2.
