It’s almost August, and Laine’s situation hasn’t changed. He’s still in the player assistance program and is with the Columbus Blue Jackets. GM Don Waddell was hopeful Laine would be cleared from the program before he became a free agent, but with a busy offseason behind us, it’s interesting to see what happens next.
