Confirmed with Link: Patrik Laine and 2026 2nd round pick acquired from the Blue Jackets in exchange for Jordan Harris

[McGees]

Shout out to Engels. Thanks for throwing us off the Laine trail with your great insight.

I want a 5 min twitter video apology and full page ad in the Gazette.
...He can include his 'guarantee PLD to Habs' from last year lol.

So the Habs are:

- drafting high end skill players
- extending their young core pieces
- getting paid to take on elite talents like Laine

What the f*** happened to my poor ass Habs

No more racist boomers in charge

 

[rickthegoon]

Hopefully it doesn't turn out like Drouin.

Harris is not Sergachev.

Wtf, build hughes a statue

It's being worked on as we speak.

LOL WE PAID OUR DUES WATCHING TATAR DANAULT GALLAGHER FOR YEARS

We deserve this

Finally an Habs rumor that comes to fruition.

Welcome Patrik !! You'll have blast here!

Wow, I have been on a Laine train for a long time even going back to last season. I'm very happy.
Considering the cost this is a slam dunk, regarless, of what Harris or Laine do...

1) We get someone legit to play with Dach or in the top 6
2) We can still trade way Dvorak, Savard for so assets
3) A CBJ 2nd pick will be a early 2nd round pick
4) Harris was clearly the odd man out, if someone had to be traded he would have been unanimous choice over Barron, Mailloux, Reinbacher who are RD Hutson, Xhekaj, Engstrom who all yopunger and bring something special with either size or offence potential...

To me Harris for Laine +2nd (which will be a early 2nd) would have been too good to be true...
Best case scenario I expected Dvorak + Harris or Barron + 2nd for Laine.

People just need to lower expectation we aren't getting 44G Laine, we just need him to be better than Newhook or who ever our #4/5 FW will be.
That being said I think that him and Dach will be a great duo.

I don't think I'm allowed to post the one I'm making for him right now....way too sexual

 

[habbubba]

It's looking like I can skip the Viagra tonight.

 

[Gustave]

I mean, we lived through a year of Mike Hoffman, how worst can « not on the mood / not feeling welll » Laine be?

We’ll cruise through this experience like a hot knife in butter.

 

[MD thaivuN]

lmao we actually willed the Harris + B-tier asset trade proposals into an actual trade

Edit: oh wait, we're the one receiving the 2nd round pick. That's even more godly lol

Nice! My Tappara hat will be a solid fit this winter!

 

[dcyhabs]

Hopefully it doesn't turn out like Drouin.

It sort of can't, Laine doesn't have a local connection and he's not being brought in to play a position he's never been able to play. I'm not sure he's the answer to the habs top 6, not enough defense, rarely healthy, and substance issues, but he's better than anyone else the habs could put out there.

Harris is underrated, though. They probably won't specifically miss him, but they may do a bit worse than they expect and wonder why.

Harris is not Sergachev.

I mean, hopefully the pressure doesn't get to him.

 

[SlafySZN]

How True!!!

 

[HuGo Sham]

you should go to the main boards to post such comments

and yes it is an underpayment

prefer to keep (what's left) of my sanity

 

[windycity]

Now looking forward to January when we're all screaming at Laine for dogging it

 

[HuGo Sham]

the number of idiots on the main board....and they're all using the same habs troll script

 

[417]

After Laine scores a hat trick game 1 and I hop on here to make a poll about Laine or Matthews…

I'm a be like…
