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

[JC Superstar]

ESPN still has Harris and a 2nd for Laine: do they get the trade news on NHL 24?

 

[KevSkillz4]

Marc Bergevin: "Trading isn't easy"

Kent Hughes: Just trade Jordan freaking "useless" Harris for a 2nd pick and a 40goalscorer.

Lol

Lol

Matheson, Monahan, Dach, Newhook, Laine all acquired by trade in three off seasons.

MB was out of his element

 

[SOLR]

The reason we have this core is because we don't have Carey Price in nets anymore. Generational goaltender if not for his injury.

He`s coming back next year.

Not really when you think about it. When you look like a homeless person, you look for the same attributes. smh

Welcome home Patrik Laine.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Injury prone with character issues. I highly doubt he's in long term plans. Laine has lengthy injury history. Then substance abuse. Bad defensively with huge contract.

I think he starts great but gone by 2nd deadline at lastest. A trade generally rejuvenates but long term Old habits die hard.

I think Habs get good 40 goal season out of him, flip him for a first. In 5 years looking back, Habs got a 2nd and 1st for Harris.

Easy there, have you ever heard of the legal term "Libel"?

"a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation."

I am usually a player first guy so I'll admit bias but I look at the head coaches Laine has dealt with and I see his best years with the best coach (Paul Maurice) and his worst with John Tortorella and Pascal Vincent who tried to turn him into a centre. Sorry if I am not worried what Vincent has to say about him. Or if he fought with Torts.

Maurice took responsibility for Laine saying he wanted out of Winnipeg due to the bad locker room.

Report: Patrik Laine Revealed Reason for Leaving Winnipeg – Rude Treatment in Locker Room

Pekka Jalonen of the Finnish publication Iltalehti (Evening News) revealed his belief why Patrik Laine wished to leave the Winnipeg Jets. It was because of issues with fellow stars on the team.

Actually it was Laine who went to the coaching staff and volunteered. Due to the team being short of centres.

 

[Rapala]

After this trade proves to be more than a depth move. Your surprise will be me showing up at your front door carrying this lol

Now I just have to figure out what type of wine goes with crow lol

I'm having Pis en Lit with mine.
But like I mentioned earlier I was so far off I'm eating this.

They were comparing Vanek to Laine yesterday on 690

Why Laine can skate?

Why Laine can skate?

High pick, 45 goals, size, mental issues they mentioned

Laine reminds me of Vanek indeed

 

[Rapala]

Interesting that two different reporters asked about what Pascal Vincent said about Laine before the trade assuming they asked him when doing their research, and Hughes refused to answer either of them, just saying that they did their homework and he didn't want to get into it.

Maybe Vincent didn't say good things?

I think it's safe to say some stuff went down that never saw the light of day and Hughes will ensure it never does on our side.

High pick, 45 goals, size, mental issues they mentioned

Vanek though not the best skater was very good like an older Jaromir Jagr became at cutting down the ice surface.
I'm hoping Roy will emulate those guys it will help compensate for his lack of foot speed.

 

[salbutera]

I’m curious to know who they would have hired at that time. The list if candidates wasn’t big

And it was a very different NHL game in 2012…..

 

[crosbyshow]

Slaf. 1st pick overall 2022

Laine 2nd pick overall 2016

Dach 3rd pick overall 2019

Demidov 5th pick overall 2024

Suzuki 13th pick 2017

Caufield: 15th pick 2019

Newhook: 16th pick 2019

The first 7 forwards were all drafted in the top 16 not long time ago..

 

[1909]

Nothing to lose with this trade. There was no more place for Harris. Habs needed another real top-six. Laine is still young and has a real offensive talent. Money is no concern. I just hope Laine will be mentally and physically fixed, and that he won’t create any stir in the room.

I would also like to point out that Monahan and Laine (and the Karlsson wheeling and dealing last year) all happened in August during the offseason. I hope fans remember that the next time HuGo aren't active in July.

 

[The Real Timo]

ESPN still has Harris and a 2nd for Laine: do they get the trade news on NHL 24?

Idiots on tSN said the same. Big Dog and whoever else was with him. I can’t believe they get paid for this.

Yeah I already brought this up earlier when people were bashing Hughes for his inactivity.

I don't want to sound like a Hugues fefan but maaaaaannnn what a difference with the Bargain era. Salut Marc. Hope your having fun in LA. We don't miss you buddy.
