@generalimlerith8356 he's got the skills but his want just isn't there maybe playing in huge market will help but more then likely it will only hurt especially if he starts off slow
I dunno who he will play with , but he could be playing with Dach and Newhook , or But then again we need someone to back up for Laine so its possible he will play with Suzuki , that means Slaf will play with Newhook and Dach , or are they really gonna try that finnish duo with Armia on the 3rd line
The thing is, even if Laine doesn't work out in Montreal, they basically got a 2nd round pick for Harris, which is probably is more than his trade value. In 2 years they either resign him, trade him or let him walk. And that cap space? it's not like Montreal desperately need it for the next two years.
They gave a second round pick only because Montreal takes the full contract. Had the CBJ retained half the salary, Laine would have been the only player in the trade for Harris
@@themilosh895 $8M of salary for a 2nd? Wait, you actually think there is a scenario where Columbus would have kept paying Laine's whole salary after trading him? Are you being dense on purpose or does it come naturally to you? 🤣
Great trade for habs. Big winger, can score, Fit for 2yrs, get a pick, trade an extra D, they have the cash, if it doesn’t work you got that pick, and have 5 less big contracts in 2yrs so you can sign someone else, or if it works, keep him
Big win for both sides: Columbus gets Laine off the books with retaining anything, saving them 7.3 million in cap space when you add the Harris contract, Look for them to be trade brokers this deadline Montreal gets a great goal scorer, that if he returns to form will end up being a steal, especially if resigns. And if he doesn't, he is only on the book for 2 years. No losers in this trades, given Laine wanted out.
Laine could be like a Kovalev. A misunderstood player who just needs fan love. I think its possible Laine becomes the top dog on Mtl. Gonna be interesting for sure
If Laine hits 40 goals, AND Caufield hits 40, that will be the first time we've had multiple 40 goal scorers since 1979-1980! 44 years ago! It's time to get our once proud franchise out of the gutter, and start winning again. Go habs Go!!! Now im excited for the season to start!!!
ya i thought we were going to have to give up 2 prospects and a draft pick to get him, guess that's why Hughes didnt just jump on the offer rirght away, let them stew with it, and wonder what they're going to do, there is no guarantee he starts the year if he is still in Columbus, both teams did well, but Habs a little better, (well time will tell, im assuming the Habs did better!), they should. And if it doesnt work out, they are stuck with him for 2 years, by then we will be rid of the Gallagher contract, Price contract, Armia, a bunch of other bad contracts, plus we got the 2nd round pick, i like it. I hope MSL can work his magic with laine, and playing in a bigger market might get the best out of him!! let's hope!
the kind of player that can accelerate the rebuild for the next 2 years, big upside in offensive zone, less is in the defensive end, can't wait to see the habs season now
We needed this so bad hopefully he stays healthy and we could be a reel contender this season or at least the next few seasons with the arrival of Demidov . Future looks bright in MTL GO HABS GO
Most surprising part is no cap retained by CBJ. You would have thought at least $2 or 3 million retained. Hard to say win or lose trade, depends on if Laine fix his game or not.
Hughes strikes again. Great trade. Harris for a 2nd is a good chance 2 year experiment to get Laine going again? Amazing. And if it doesn't work. Molson will pay him to play Laval
No matter the production of Laine, this is a good trade, because we've got the $. We don't lose anything. We got rid of Harris and got a 2nd on top of that? MTL wins this trade and I am very happy.
Welp... This is all a big gamble and you know what? With Martin St Louis at the helm, I have confidence. Laine may perform solidly under pressure here. Like musical artists, some players are fabulous under the limelight. We shall see and obviously, if Laine plays with Each, this would be a splendid matchup provided that Laine is in the zone or willing to work hard with his new linesmen. In conclusion, all of this is quite exciting and once again, Hughes is hitting it out of the ballpark:)
Never mind about the production of laine, the Habs got a second round pick back and got rid of a defenseman which they have to many of, plus laine has been in the league for a minute now which gives the habs more experience this is absolutely a win
Suzuki, Caulfield, Liane,... Dach, Slafkovski, Mesar,. Newhook, Roy, Kapinen.. Beck, Evans, Armia.... Demidov, Hage, next year.... PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR AND WITH MSG AT THE HELM THE CUP AWAITS.....
I think u might be jumping the gun a little, our bottom 6 could still use a lot of work, we aren't making the playoffs with, "Newhook, Roy, Kapinen.. Beck, Evans, Armia" as our bottom 6, but the move definitely gives us a huge boost, and when Demidov and Hage get here, that will help. This could be our first 40 goal scorer in like 2 decades, that's SAD! But hopefully he does hit 40 and more, it's been too long our franchise should be like it was in the 70's.
I hope Patrick works out, worth the two year gamble. If he has put his video gaming addiction behind him he has all the tools. I never thought I would be a hab fan since Patrick Roy left but I will be cheering for the Canadians with Laine.
This is the trade where Hughes is making a big bet finally. If there's any issue we have ample cap space to retain salary and pass him on somewhere else. Now if he can ship Anderson somewhere without retaining salary we're in business. Habs will be in the playoffs.
Montreal seems to be one Zegras away from having an interesting dressing room. A lot of personalities in there, hopefully they all mesh together. Including Hutson, Laine, Demidov etc. They’re all amazing players, just wonder if heads might clash due to that case and lack of ice time, pp etc.
Canadians are gonna be soooooo good so soon. I say this as a Red Wings fan. Their farm system is the envy of the NHL right now. Not gonna lie tho, they really F'ed up giving mighty mouse that contact. He's not worth nearly that much and when he's not scoring goals he's a huge liability on ice. Laine is also a liability on ice but at least he's not the size of a 10 year old😂
Montreal gave less ice time to Harris approx 4 mins plus per game and Harris' numbers went down. Maybe Montreal wants to get rid of Mailloux now? .... How about Otts taking him???
CBJ had to add a sweetner to the deal for somebody nobody who doesn't follow the habs has even heard of. if he doesn't have a good start and that fan base lights into him it will be ground hog day.
I doubt Laine is sticking around long term. I think this is going to be Monahan 2.0. If he does great, he'll be traded before the end of his contract. If Laine is a solid producer he'll be asking for about 9M$ for 8 years. Kent Hughes has a limited number of big AAV long term deals he can give out and I doubt one of them will be for Laine.
I hope that the Habs have not sold their soul for an unknown quantity. Hope that Patrik is not emotionally torn apart by the fickle fans in Montreal. Let us hope that Mr. Laine does not re-injure himself this year or next. He has to prove himself and he has to be good in the dressing room.
At worst they gave up Harris, who isn't a top 4 atm, for a 2nd round pick, which is hardly selling their soul. The Habs are in the late stage of a rebuild, have a glut of young talent at D, and 2 years of a bad contract isn't that big of a deal, Molson can afford it.
7:00 "is that point per game guy" Laine only had 1 point per game season in his whole career. 56 points in 56 games is not an 82 game season. "he gets 30 goals and 40 to 45 assists on the year" Laine has NEVER had 40 assists let alone 45 assists. Laine's top assists seasons 35, 30 and 30. "30 goals" He's only hit 30 goals 3 times. 44, 36, and 30. STILL A WIN FOR LAINE but get a grip LEGO.
If Laine plays over 70 games and puts up 35 goals, 70 pts, and Dach plays a full season, Habs could be a playoff team this year.
If not.. best case scenario above 500 and better season standings than last season
C'mon now lol
Apparently you didn’t see Laine’s last season his production is rock bottom lol even before PA this guy has dropped off the earth
>>> No. All due respect...from 32 nd... to 28 th... then 16 th over all? It don t work that way...
@generalimlerith8356 he's got the skills but his want just isn't there maybe playing in huge market will help but more then likely it will only hurt especially if he starts off slow
if he and Dach stays healthy we can dream about playoffs . dream i said
not a dream on paper they have 2 great first lines, upcoming superstars on defense,. If the goalies are solid. The playoff stop is there for them
@@darthgogo6911 tough division, we may be close if Laine can provide 2nd line scoring and PP goals.
I dunno who he will play with , but he could be playing with Dach and Newhook , or But then again we need someone to back up for Laine so its possible he will play with Suzuki , that means Slaf will play with Newhook and Dach , or are they really gonna try that finnish duo with Armia on the 3rd line

Oh man, this season is going to be sooooo fun as habs fans!
Actually Suzuki can also get 40 with a good season. He’s underrated.
More likely Laine does 70 points than 40 goals based on his recemt stats.
I really expected Laine to be worth more than that as they gave up the 2nd rounder too

Me too brother!!
We needed this so bad hopefully he stays healthy and we could be a reel contender this season or at least the next few seasons with the arrival of Demidov . Future looks bright in MTL GO HABS GO
For sure bro, especially when Demidov gets here, it will be nice to already be winning a few games, it will take a ton of pressure off Demidov.
That trade checks all boxes for Montreal and even if Laine doesn't work out, Harris for a 2nd is a fair trade in itself
Most surprising part is no cap retained by CBJ. You would have thought at least $2 or 3 million retained. Hard to say win or lose trade, depends on if Laine fix his game or not.
The positive is there are only 2 years left on his contract. Not like it is a 6 or 7 year contract.
That’s what the second round pick is for lol.
MSL will fix Laine.
Watch KH bundle up that 2nd and and we move up in draft or get another piece
if he does more than 80 points a year, best trade a canadien history period
He could do that after all he has 117 points in last 129 games.
Good for the blue jackets, no more of that headache anymore.
The champagne has been popped all over Habsland.
Not sure about it yet, hopefully it works out.
For now Id have Laine on a second line so he doesnt just jump in with the pressure of playing in montreal
he won't have any pressure at all, regardless...
Its a rebuilding team still...no expectations
And if he starts hot i see him switching with caufield
Laine suzuki slaf
Newhook dach caufield
Really sad Laine didn’t work in Columbus. Loved their team on paper
I love this for my Habs!!!
Wow Columbus only got a 7th defenceman in return… that’s a Hughes masterclass
Habs making a move...its playoff time boys!!!
Hughes strikes again. Great trade. Harris for a 2nd is a good chance
2 year experiment to get Laine going again? Amazing. And if it doesn't work. Molson will pay him to play Laval
people wanted kent to bring out a top 6 and so he did
W KENT
Good deal that could turn out to be a steal.
No matter the production of Laine, this is a good trade, because we've got the $. We don't lose anything. We got rid of Harris and got a 2nd on top of that? MTL wins this trade and I am very happy.

I am happy. This boy can still be traded and we had too many dmen. What a great move. Oh yeah!!
Yes, trade him to the Jets...
Laine’s got some of Mario’s mooves…😮
All the best for him and Canadiens. Hopefully he's healthy now.
can't wait for this season Habs Fan for life!!
Went Wughes
So looking at Columbus' defensive lineup, here's prospects you're missing, Jiricek (R), Mateychuk (L), Svozil (L), etc.
Never mind about the production of laine, the Habs got a second round pick back and got rid of a defenseman which they have to many of, plus laine has been in the league for a minute now which gives the habs more experience this is absolutely a win
Now get rid of Devorak
Anderson , Dvorak and Gallagher as to go
bring Beck , Mesar et Heineman pour les remplacer
LAINE ,DACH , NEWHOOK OR JOSHUA ROY , SOLIDEEEEEE

Imagine dumping Anderson, Primeau and 2 seconds for Nashvilles first and Askarov?
That's far from enough to get Askarov
Askarov is arguably the best goalie prospect in th eleague with Wallsted so I think The habs would have to give way more
@@djyanno Definitely, and Preds don't have the cap space for Anderson anyway
More like Calgaries 1st, 2x2nd, Beck, and Anderson at 50% retention. I'd do that trade.

Who is Jordan Harris??
The fact that Columbus is not retaining any of Laine's contract is a small victory.

How long will it takes for him to ask for a trade, or that the fanfares walk him out of town like Drouin
I hope Patrick works out, worth the two year gamble. If he has put his video gaming addiction behind him he has all the tools. I never thought I would be a hab fan since Patrick Roy left but I will be cheering for the Canadians with Laine.
Harris for a 2nd is already winning the trade if laine can find his form this could be one of the more lopsided trades in recent memory
This is the trade where Hughes is making a big bet finally. If there's any issue we have ample cap space to retain salary and pass him on somewhere else. Now if he can ship Anderson somewhere without retaining salary we're in business. Habs will be in the playoffs.

So CBJ has money now
I did tell you he was in town 2 weeks ago :P
The real winner of the trade: The Winnipeg Jets
No way a 2nd and Laine for a bottom pair defensemen! That 2nd has to be on the other side
nope you read it right. Laine + a second round pick for Harris ;) I told myself the same thing but hey im not going to complain hehe
were getting a 2nd round cause were taking full contract on Laine , + Columbus wanted to clear Laine off this team asap
Montreal gave less ice time to Harris approx 4 mins plus per game and Harris' numbers went down. Maybe Montreal wants to get rid of Mailloux now? .... How about Otts taking him???
Nice, Harris seems like a real nice guy, but I personally didn't see all the hype around him.
Harris looks high as hell on that picture
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I am so happy for this trade but I hope for the best for Jordan Haris go HABS go ps he can score
Did not lose huge but think we're screwed with Laine
Why? After all he has 117 points in his last 129 games.
Is that good canadiens?
lets see..KK and Galenchuk did not work either... Dach, Newhook and Laine will be a power line so now Montreal has 2 top lines
CBJ had to add a sweetner to the deal for somebody nobody who doesn't follow the habs has even heard of. if he doesn't have a good start and that fan base lights into him it will be ground hog day.

Yes yes
''Attitude '' is the red flag to me
Party guy goes to party town, yikes hope this works.
I guess Harris was expendable given the D pipeline. I'm just not sure if Laine is the guy
We got a second, and he's in MTL for only 2 years... so if it doesn't work it's ok... second rounder is a good consolation price...
i thought that was a fake news but yes i am happy if he it work 💪
I guess they predicted it!?!? 😮
they should have gave them savard
Laine has not worked out well anywhere for any length of time. Good Luck !
LMAO !!!! The cup!!!!! LOL what a joke
Now we have him for cheap gave up Harris only and some Cap. Still have all our assets plus another 2nd time to get McGroerty.
