Video: John Tortorella Talks About Coaching Patrik Laine

The hockey world was shocked on Saturday as the long rumored trade between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Winnipeg Jets was finalized. Patrick Laine and hometown boy, Jack Roslovic made way to Columbus, meanwhile the Jets acquired Pierre-Luc Dubois and a 3rd-rounder in 2022.

A lot has been made about the work ethics of Dubois and Laine as of late, Dubois not so much on the positive side, and Laine who is currently out injured, after giving it his all against the Calgary Flames in the Jets' season opener. 

This is certainly an interesting deal that has a ton of questions surrounding it:

1. Will Jack Roslovic find his scoring touch or feel too much pressure playing for his 'childhood team'?
2. Can Pierre-Luc Dubois find his groove in the #2 center hole behind Mark Scheifele?
3. Will Patrik Laine and John Tortorella be able to work together? 

We found out some insight on that one from Torts himself:
