Never thought Hughes would touch Laine. With his contract, attitude and defense issues. Sounds like a Bergevin trade

Hold on. So the Habs get Laine plus a 2026 2nd for Harris instead of the Habs sending a 2026 2nd back to CBJ along with Harris. So Laine was a cap dump then.
Add this trade to the other August 19th trades in Habs history.
August 19, 2024 - Jordan Harris traded to Columbus Blue Jackets for Patrick Laine plus a 2026 2nd round pick.
August 19, 1994 - Guy Carbonneau traded to St. Louis Blues for Jim Montgomery
August 19, 1986 - Steve Penney and the rights to Jan Ingman traded to Winnipeg Jets for Brian Hayward
August 19, 1947 - Frank Eddolls and Buddy O'Connor traded to New York Rangers for Hal Laycoe, Joe Bell and George Robertson

I’m glad Harris gets a fresh start. He’s going to have a good career and there was a logjam here.
Would’ve liked a first for this. Other than that… meh. We’ll see how it goes but I don’t have high expectations.

LOL I don't think I went into the Laine to mtl thread once cause I thought there was 0% chance of that ever happening.
Got a 2nd, but at full cap. Didn't pay much imo.
I'm OK with it, but hoping he makes me eat crow.
Worst case Ontario I get to see a new player for the Habs.
Best case Ontario I eat some cold, shitty crow and he's playing great for the Habs.

Holy f***ing shit!!! Beautiful trade!!! This is just freaking amazing.
I love Harris, but I love Hughes more. What a deal? He gets a 2nd back to reacquire Harris, so it’s almost Laine for nothing. Great move!!! If it doesn’t work, doesn’t hurt.
I have a capfriendly armchair gm setup that looked a lot like this but we were the ones adding the 2nd to harris.
I uh
Take it all back
Wow what a trade just.... wow.

No, he was battling depression because of the passing of his father.
Well, shouldn't say no, but the reason he was in the program wasn't because of alcohol from what I read.
They just used him lol
Mastery of negotiating .
Build your assets , reduce your interest.
What a change from previous era where we shit on our players till they have no value
Again not sure if it's their own 2nd round pick but if so then more than likely top 40 so i don't think Harris was worth a top 40 more than likely a top 55ish from a sure to make the playoffs team so yeah Laine is a cap dump and even kind of negative value if the pick is Columbus own 2nd.
we need to call Serge Savard and tell us who to call and have Laine monitored 24/7.
I'm not used to a top 6 with a mix of skill and size
Harris deserves respect and thanks. I hope he goes on to have a 1000 game career. Solid kid all around.
Hughes not done yet i say .Not a big Laine fan but if it works out we are 1 step closer to a playoff appearance
When it was reported that Laine wanted out, it always made sense for the habs to get him.
Not many teams have the assets and cap space to acquire him. And the habs had a clear need.
