This afternoon, a sharp-eyed source spotted Columbus Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine's downtown $2.75 million apartment in downtown Columbus is officially on the market, as it has been listed for sale online. It's sparked severe chatter about Laine's next move, both in Columbus and the NHL.
With Laine taking a timeout in the NHL's Player Assistance Program, his future in the league has been up in the air. And now, it seems like his days in Columbus might be numbered. He's still got two seasons left on his contract with the Blue Jackets at an $8.7 million cap hit.
The primary bath is like a spa retreat with heated floors, a heated towel rack, a jetted tub, and even a sauna. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with two wine coolers, a sleek bar area, and a built-in Miele coffee maker for those caffeine cravings.
The apartment is on the 24th floor, offering great views of Downtown, and it comes with a massive patio to soak it all in. Downstairs, there are three garages for your storage pleasure.
As for Laine's next career move, well, that's anyone's guess at this point. We're all hoping to see the 25-year-old back on the ice � whether in Columbus or elsewhere sooner rather than later.
