I do have a bit of a mea culpa to take here, I didn't think Harris had much value around the league but clearly CBJ specifically liked him.
Harris will do well. Must not have been easy having so much competition and constantly being afraid to get sent down/demoted.

Hughes doesn't feel this trade is any riskier than others he has made. They spoke to Laine and did their homework and feel he understand and is ready for the media and the expectations here.
Hughes said they told Patrick that they don’t care if he scores 20 or 40. They want him to contribute to the vision of the team and help them move forward as a young team
I haven't been this giddy about a Habs trade since we got Kovalev

This is good to know.
It means he's not particularly looking for a quiet sunny place to play.
I like that.

Some players thrive in the spotlight and hockey crazed market like Montreal. I wonder if Laine will be one of those players. Winnipeg and Columbus are small market teams. Wonder if being in the spotlight will get him extra motivated. It's certainly in line with the type of players Kent has sought out (Slaf and Demidov)

Kent said they want players that want to be here long term and want to be part of what they are building and where the team is going and that Patrik Laine gave them that impression. That he wants to be here, and wants to be here long term.
Columbus fan with peace
You got a TOP player who will be productive even if Dvorak and Armia play with him, Xhekaj on defense the most. The injuries weren't chronic if you watch their videos, pure bad luck.
I wish Patrik best of luck!
Btw, I hope you will play against Toronto with its new captain Matthews in the first round of the 2024/25 PO...

Ironically, I could see Laine being a good fit in Montréal where his personality is embraced by fans and he is driven by the craziness of the market like Kovalev here.

Course it's possible Laine is energized cause he just took a bump . . .

Maybe there is something I’m not seeing but this looks to be an absolute steal from Hughes.
