[Fizzz]

Patrik Laine for Casey Mittlestadt

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

Montreal shots for with Laine on the ice : 197
Montreal shots against with Laine on the ice: 272

Montreal expected goals for with Laine on the ice: 19,59
Montreal expected goals against with Laine on the ice: 28,36

Montreal PP% before Laine: 20,8%
Montreal PP% at the end of the season: 20,9%.

Correlation does not equal causation. You're supposed to learn this at elementary school.

Laine helped our powerplay when he first came back, scored 10 goals in 13 games. He was big part of Habs 13 game Christmas heater

Heard some around are asking for a 2nd, Laine half retained

I just want him gone so Montreal can have a useful 2nd line.

A non playoff team looking to tank 5 on 5 but also have someone scoring PP goals should take him.

Idiotic to think the Habs would pay to dump Laine when they don't have cap issues and Laine may be useful if he gets his knee fixed.

People are really clueless...

Laine (50% retained) + 2nd round for Future considerations

You took it wrong, we want a 2nd. Not pay a 2nd.

I really hope his agent or someone close to him makes it clear to him that he’ll be out of the league in a year if he can’t get his 5 on 5 game together and overall intensity.!

 

[Breakers]

I forget the guy who covers montreal for TSN and was on TSN overdrive discussing Montreal’s season.

Essentially he touched on Laine and said the things that have changed for Laine, is he has heard from around the organization is that they have to “hide” him when he is in the lineup.

That’s different from a 4th line which is limited minutes around 11 minutes and they hope to have some offensive zone time, maybe draw a penalty, throw some hits, and maybe contribute offensively every now and then.

But Like when a player has the term attached to him with we have to “hide” him, it’s a serious problem.

It fits with his play and his usage.

His bad play 5 on 5 was part of the playoff overtime loss.

He brings decent value to the team as a pure PP triggerman. Makes no sense to trade him away.

He seems to click well with the team too, i think he's happy here.

Exactly. His contract doesn't hurt us.

You will need to tie your two 2025 first picks after him to interest someone to get rid of him

That's the dumbest thing i have ever heard. Habs, how have no cap issues, need to add 2 x 1sts to trade Laine, who has 1 x year remaining. LOL

Habs got a 2nd round pick for taking on Laine. He will play one more year then he will be let go. If he gets his knee fixed, he might actually be productive.

 

[Jetsetter]

The Jet's would be interested with a 50% retained for sure!

He still has a NTC, not sure that'll ever work out.

Yeah inconceivable for it to happen considering it literally happened the last time he was traded. The Jackets added a 2nd with Laine to get rid of him. He's been benched since then. His value is not higher than it was last offseason. You're calling others clueless?

It’s not a No Move Clause. So the Habs could just waive him and send him to the minors. Imo that’s what they should do. It’s only one season. Keep him away from the Habs room.

 

[MK9]

He clearly just needs his 4th 'change of scenery'.

Habs don’t ned to trade him. Period.

No the point was, he would probably block a trade to Winnipeg.

 

[Fatass]

Understood. No club will want him, even at 50% retention, unless the Habs add or take back a bad contract. So just bury him in the AHL.

 

[BLNY]

Whether it's the knee he chose not to get surgically repaired in the fall, or systemic issues between the ears, there's no reason to incentivize another club to take him. He's got a year left and they're not financially pressed to get rid of him.
