We have Demidov on the way, and I think someone else will pay Laine more than $8.7 mil. A trade like that? We got him for practically nothing, buddy.

Yeah?
Then why make the trade at all in the first place..?
And you want the 6foot Left Shooting Demidov to replace the 6"5 Right Shooting Laine but not the 6foot Left Shooting Newhook?
Odd.

The trade matches the term. And when I said replacement, it was about skill and cap space. We have Hutson and Demidov to sign down the line, and we still need a 1RD.
If we can sign Laine for a good cap hit, then great. This is just a feeling I have, and if he leaves, I think we will be just fine. I didn't say I didn't want him to stay here, friend.

Fair enough, friend
I still think we're a better team with him than without him tho

Petterson is soft and often uninvolved. I watched a lot of Nucks games in the playoffs and wasn't worth anywhere close to what he's getting.. and at 11.75 per year, he's just not worth it.

Petterson can be whipped into shape by good leadership, and we have it
I'd pay good picks and prospects to get him

Laine's win streak is now 6 games. I conveniently left out the Columbus-game as he played only one period (and I know that some say he may have unintentionally partly caused that loss due to his comments).
But its crazy, the team feels somehow different when Patty is not playing. I watched only 1st period yesterday but we felt much more "rushed" in our game, Patty slows down the game (some say due to him being slow), and that is needed against teams like Chicago imo.

Why was Laine a healthy scratch against Chicago? Did he say something about the coach or management and got punished?

Someone said that he sneezed in the dressing room just before going on the ice. So they scratched him as a precaution.
Btw Mulletman.. I have secretly admired you for over 10 years, ever since you started posting threads on very interesting subjects.
So I finally posted my first ever thread. I hope I have learned something from you.

I was 150k off, old age & bad memory
He's at 11.6 per with 7 more seasons to go
He's the new Huberdeau. Do NOT want.

Sorry man, the original thread title was "Longest win-streaks for individual players". And Laine was not mentioned in the op. But I feared it wouldnt get any clicks.. so with it being my first ever thread I gave that title and made it basically all about Laine. And clicks came!I was 150k off, old age & bad memory

But.. now I feel like it is something that paints Laine fans (and Montreal fans (and me)) in a bad light.. My bad!

Haha I feel like they were like "You know I agree, its a high cap hit, but I think we can make him sign max term with that. And with salary cap going up this fast this deal will look like a STEAL in a few years from now!" They really managed to fool Pettersson into signing max term.

I don't think he's going to get on the first PP at least to start with.
It would be concerning if your top ticket needs others to whip him into shape.

I wouldn't mind that.
Or we rock a 1-3-1 with hutson up top, Laine, Demidov on half walls and Suzuki in the middle. Slaf down low in bumper. Suzuki could be used as a secondary distributor to make that additional play if needed, OR be used as another scoring threat like Point in TBL PP when they had stamkos.
That also allows CC to be more impactful on the 2nd wave with Dach.
Laine is only sick or injured ?
Hopefully he’ll be back for Monday against the Canucks , I’ll be at Bell Center taking notes lol

Obviously a series of unfortunate events thus far in his Habs career. The injury to start....the minor injury in the Columbus game. The sick time for the past two. Given his history with injury/mental troubles....I hope these are all just coincidences.
Long term I want this guy. I'd sign him for 8 years. But....you gotta think that the amount of games lost hurts his bottom dollar on his next contract. Still lots of games left....but it puts the team in a position to argue for far less than what he is worth when he is actually playing. I'm swinging for something in line with Suzukis cap ceiling.
We are going to need money for Demi and Hutson very soon.
