I'd guess they do what they're doing with Hutton, where they want him to practice a bit first. It was also mentioned for Hutton he may not get in until they clinch, so it's perhaps even more likely for LaBate.

Not as big or as good defensively. Better offense though.

Yeah, they aren't the same at all. Lain's strength was faceoffs (and defensive play as you noted) as a 4th line type player. LaBate is more of a top 9 style forward who can play wing or center and chip in offensively.

From my post in the Utica thread:

Nice to see the Kenins/LaBate connection at the end of the highlights there, for Kenins being back and LaBate getting on the board for his first pro goal - particularly after what was apparently a nasty scrap (against 6'7" Samuel Morin) in the 2nd period:
