Really doubt Columbus retain 50% on Laine for a mediocre package, not involving a 1st. Would IMO be stupidity.
Pretty brutal offer. Columbus is under no pressure to move him at pennies to the dollar
Oh don't get me wrong, he will almost certainly be traded but there is zero chance they sell low on him. I am not saying he isn't on the market.I don't think that's true. Laine is definitely on the market with a FOR SALE sign hanging around his neck.
This proposal however is complete 100% horse shit, even if Farrell might be something someday.

Columbus is 5.8M above the cap floor right now. Laine has been cleared to play and will start the season in Columbus unless a trade they deem worthwhile comes along. A player being available does not mean they have to trade him. They most likely play let him regain his value on the ice over the course of this season before trading himWell if he's on the market all that's to be decided is if he gets a good price or not. I would say they don't really have a great shot anymore at a good price but you never know. He hasn't played 70+ games since 2018-19. He costs nearly 9 million dollars a year for the next two seasons. Hard to quantify what entering the Player's Assistance program does to someone's value.
Will be interesting to see what the difference in return ends up being between Laine and PLD because so far I'm not sure it's worked out that well for anybody yet.
I originally thought Habs are set for camp. But that is interesting. Based on if Laine is he right!!Stumbled upon this trade proposal echoed at Heavy that comes from PuckGM and their user-led tool. I'm wondering, if the reports are correct about CBJ looking for prospects/picks instead of a "hockey trade", would they accept this package from the Habs (note the salary retention)?

Canadiens Trade Pitch Lands $34 Million Winger in Montreal
With Blue Jackets winger Patrik Laine officially available to return to play the Canadiens look like a fit in a trade.heavy.com
So basically it's a one-for-two as well as a couple of picks. Would Columbus accept anything other than a first-round pick? Would a 2nd+4th and one/two prospects do the trick?
What's Laine's out-of-context maximum value, you'd say?
EDIT: Here's the user's package:
Canadiens get:
Blue Jackets get:
- Patrik Laine ($4.4 million retained by Columbus)
- Sean Farrell
- Bogdan Konyushkov
- Canadiens 2025 2nd-Round Pick
- Canadiens 2026 4th-Round Pick
I know tell me about it.Awful for Columbus. It's getting worse by the day with these proposals. Terrible
Bogdan is the best piece here. Most Habs fans would agree with me on that.I don't think that's true. Laine is definitely on the market with a FOR SALE sign hanging around his neck.

Idk Laine is pretty much always playing well when not injured so if he plays a few games his value can go up pretty fastWell if he's on the market all that's to be decided is if he gets a good price or not. I would say they don't really have a great shot anymore at a good price but you never know. He hasn't played 70+ games since 2018-19.

I can't rule out any options even returning here, because it takes two teams and two parties to make a trade, and if there's not a trade that makes any sense to us, then we have to just deal with what reality is. Andy Scott (Laine's Agent) told him multiple times that we will make sure that we look at everything and know the situation, we know Patrik's feelings, and if we can find the right fit, certainly we will do that, but if not, we'll have to just deal with it."
