I honestly think Habs has something really special going on. A team loaded with young talent, lots of pics and prospects + a VERY nice paystructure. If all goes well, Habs are in the playoffs and Laine pots 40+ goals. The team will only get better next year and if PL continue to play well and feel comfortable on the team, I`m positive he`ll take a paycut to stay in Montreal. Suzuki is the best paid forward, so he sets the bar. I could see Laine taking around 7M longterm and that is because he has been on 2 teams he wasnt comfortable beeing, he lives to win and Montreal is on the rise and will contend in a few years. If Laine feels at home, I`m 100% that the money isnt the issue here. He doesnt drink and party, he`s had mental issues and that probably means he wants to be in a place he likes. Money isnt everything - Mental health and good surroundings win every time...
