Player Discussion Patrik Laine

[Habssince89]

Laine injury may work out for best. If Dach doesn't get injured we don't draft Demidov. For sure they won't lock up Laine now. Maybe teach Hughes a lesson he needed to learn? Kapanen gets chance to play on NA ice also. In long run a good thing.

I think I prefer the universe where Laine is healthy, but yes good point about the big picture silver linings. For example, Kapanen isn't Laine, but he has a way better development path with an open spot. It might not be a net positive to outweigh laine's injury, but it does reduce the hurt a tiny bit. and with his caphit suddenly opened up, KH can weaponize it further especially if the Habs will ease back on the 'in the mix' hopes.

What lesson is that? Never take a chance on getting a possible 45 goal scorer for nothing? Bob Gainey would be a big fan of you.

That's such a bummer. Everyone was super excited about him being on the pp and scoring some goals for us. Hopefully he can recover quickly. And Reinbacher too.

And the tweets su

You sure about that? Amirov is the the leafs 1st rounder who died of brain cancer recently. There are idiots everywhere.

The Leafs fan in this case is just as stupid. All fanbases have idiots like these. Playing victim mentality when there's Leafs fans cheering on the injury to Laine proves my point.

Some humans are scum. Acting like it's one group vs another is wild. There's scum in every group of people.

Yeah I don't get it. I'd have taken a 2nd for Harris anyway lol

It's a tough situation for the guy to be in...

For all the welcoming and excitement the team had with his arrival, there was really no time to form close ties with any of the Habs players.

Going to be a pretty isolating feeling to rehab this without local close ties. I wonder if the Habs do the opposite of what they did with Dach and give Laine a good chunk of time/space to get his rehab going wherever he wants rather than expecting him to be in Montreal primarily.
