Interesting to see the trade. Donny Wads used to get decent deals when with Carolina.

 

[Viqsi]

Given some of the stuff that's been thrown around here I am both hopeful and utterly terrified at that.

LFG he's been my target since before the draft ! Would look great on a line with Demidov and Dach.

 

[Frozen Failure]

iunno like... Dvorak and 2 2nds for Laine? Can't imagine that much of a return.

 

[Treb]

I was told this wouldn't happen.

 

[fahad203]

I really hope he can get his game back. He's fun to watch

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

ah, Montreal, the perfect spot to land when you're in your own head and need a reset

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Does Laine have much value? I bet the Habs don’t even surrender one of their top 5 prospects or a first.

 

[seafoam]

Could be a good fit with Suzuki and Slafkovsky.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Oh no. I don’t want him unless Anderson or Gallagher goes the other way.

 

[waitin425]

oh dear lord.....RIP Hfboards

 

[Antiillafire]

Perfect player to play alongside Slafkovsky.

 

[seafoam]

ah, Montreal, the perfect spot to land when you're in your own head and need a reset

You never know what someone is going through, I would refrain from assuming you know what's best for Laine and what's not.

I could see Laine vs Dvorak + a second round pick

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Seems like a fairly predictable landing spot.

 

[Mr Kot]

If dvorak is the main piece thats going to be awful

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

ah, Montreal, the perfect spot to land when you're in your own head and need a reset

On the one hand, I agree. Montreal is not the best market for a struggling player to make a resurgence given the pressure.

That being said, the Habs have been taking on reclamation projects and doing a pretty good job helping them turn around. So who knows? This could work out wonderfully for them. All depends on the return though.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I'll guess a 2nd and a cap dump like Anderson.

 

[ViD]

I just hope it’s not picks and random prospects again going to Columbus

 

[Magic Mittens]

Interesting! I hope Laine can get back on track

 

[ViD]

I'll guess a 2nd and a cap dump like Anderson.

Haha. Not a chance.

Had a feeling it would be either them, Anaheim, or Washington
