Wtf, build hughes a statue

 

[Fuonki]

Not a fan of Laine at all but getting him for a 2nd + Harris is just ridiculous. Another Hughes masterclass

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Engels is in shambles. Guess he's not as connected as we thought...

I'll take the risk only giving up Harris any day... and we get a 2nd too. Easy mode.

Dude is only connected with tongue up someone's...

You know what. Not sure if i finish it if it's too graphic and get me in trouble, but he's a dunce.

 

[Price is Wright]

Laine - Dach - Slafkovsky
6'5" - 6'4" - 6'3"

I need to see it.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

This biggest beneficiary of this trade is Dach. If him and Laine can stay healthy they should fit together perfectly.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Didn't want Laine, but for basically nothing, I'll take the gamble.

Was never that high on Harris. I hope he does well, though. Seems like a good guy.

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.

And habs have a human management from top to bottom , kid was affected bad for losing a father Z
Can’t think of a better coach to have for him then Martin St. Louis

Harris deserves respect and thanks. I hope he goes on to have a 1000 game career. Solid kid all around.

He's a solid player, great locker room and off ice guy. Always very well spoken when he talked. Wish him the best as he'll get a better chance to establish himself elsewhere compared to here in Montreal.

Fine work by Hughes. Harris for a second is already good. Laine requires zero commitment past this year.

He’s a sycophant that was likely fed information (that the Habs aren’t interested) to drive the price down.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

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 think you're the only one who loved Harris.

He's, what's that saying jack of trades master of none, or some shit like that ?

He was tolerable, but his value was really off the ice with his involvement in the public.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Laine can score 40 goals.

What a trade!!

Dach - Laine... can't wait to see that !!

 

[LaP]

If it works for Laine like it did for Radulov the next year gonne be fun.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Caufield Suzuki Slaf
Laine Dach Newhook

add Demidov next year.

f*** ME!

Roy - Beck - Demidov - Hage to make up a 3rd line.

 

[Ajhccwrs]

Wasn't Harris a Kent Powers(Hughes) Alum prior to him taking GM ?

 

[Demigod Gloves]

Now they just have to put a picture of him in every strip club with a "Dont let him in " and we're fkn set!

Man it feels so freaking good to have competent management. We really deserve this after the decade of destruction by Bergevin.

Unreal trade! Wow!!

I cant think of a better coach or management group than the ones we have now to ensure the spotlight and media don't get to Laine. From Winnipeg to Columbus, Laine hasn't really been in a market with a healthy locker room or off ice situation. Let's see what he can do when he's put in the right situation to succeed.

 

[The Great Weal]

Columbus 2nd is going to be very high

Its Laine + 2 for Harris

 

[Kents polished head]

Can't complain about this ngl.

Unreal trade! Wow!!

From being told that trades are hard to make to now making some major ones every summer, it's been such a great change.

I love Kent Hughes
