Confirmed Trade: [MTL/CBJ] Patrik Laine, '26 2nd for Jordan Harris

[EpochLink]

Principe got another tan as we speak!

 

[ViD]

If dvorak is the main piece thats going to be awful

It must be. We don’t need picks nor prospects. Either Dvorak or a top 4 LHD

 

[BHawk21]

What is Montreal trying to do?

 

[LemonSauceD]

Lmfao

 

[Some Other Flame]

Well this has been an interesting August for the first time ever

 

[Baksfamous112]

It must be. We don’t need picks nor prospects. Either Dvorak or a top 4 LHD

Doubt Guhle or Matheson are included. Those are our only top 4 LHD. Struble and are more bottom pairing but still young

 

[Treb]

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

Or maybe with how it went with Winnipeg/CBJ a place like Montreal is what he needs.

 

[GKJ]

Habs ready to get serious

 

[Just Linda]

What is Montreal trying to do?

Sell jerseys, fill the seats, and constantly be in the news.

Hopefully make some playoff revenue during that time too.

If they happen to win some hockey games, thats a plus.

 

[EpochLink]

Lets see how this goes.

 

[Natey]

Haha. Not a chance.

So what do you think it'll be

 

[BKarchitect]

Pending assets going back, have a feeling this will be a great buy-low shout from the Habs.

Hard to see Laine costing anything the Habs truly, desperately would not want to part with and they have plenty of good prospect depth and NHL bodies they can liquidate.

[SI90]

Can’t see CBJ getting a haul. Maybe Dvorak?

 

[Frozen Failure]

What is Montreal trying to do?

Get some firepower in the lineup? Below average PP, scoring was awful this year, lot of guys making lots of money doing nothing... picks for days and they can't tank.

So they make a splash on Laine.

 

[ViD]

So what do you think it'll be

A solid roster player as the base. I would say we need a top 4 LHD or a middle 6 C

 

[SI90]

Back to Canada for Laine!

[Crede777]

Hopefully for minimal retention.

 

[Seachd]

Done, according to Friedman.

 

[Fatass]

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

Could definitely be Anderson and Columbus retains on Laine?

 

[NYI365]

I for one enjoy the little caveat of Matthews vs Laine as part of the TOR/MTL rivalry now

 

[Breakers]

Seems like a perfectly logical destination for a guy struggling with mental health

That fan-base is going to eat him him alive.

 

[H3ckt1k]

You called it @Kairi Zaide, good on you
