Dach Anderson and Laine would make a line combination I’d look forward to.
Kent Hughes is a top 5 GM in the NHL
i'd have traded a salary with harris. they may not have wanted anderson or gallagher, but the expiring dvorak contract could have been sent here.
if laine doesn't work out this year, we have all three retention slots next year.
harris is a solid bottom pair guy who plays a smart, unspectacular game and cbj will be glad to have him. i wish him luck. but, he was expendable here, and he just got expended. clears the way for struble to make the team.
Brilliant! Hughes is a genius
As a Columbus fan we are breathing a sigh of relief that this is done.
The second round pick is fine. Its the cost of doing business.
Now once we move Elvis on or buy him out, we can move forward.
If it's just for two years, waiting for Demidov to get ready, it's ok but hope they won't re-sign him any further. Hopefully, the price was totally ludicrous (nothing against Harris here).
Montreal just keeps doing everything right!
So long we don't put our self in a 'Oilers' cap space OF issues. A couple of yr we got Xhekaj/Hudson/Roy and Dach..
I have a feeling Demidov (sooner than later) that have to be signed. Also Barron to consider. Yep we gonna lose salary too of course by then.
Laine gonna be the next 'Monahan' project.. If he can play a full season and score 25+ and show chemistry with players.. its gonna a fun yr to watch the habs.. win or lose. Still would preferred Kakko.. but hey still early..
Thought his contract was worse than just 2 yrs. Also thought the return would be more for columbus. Harris was very expendably and probably wouldn't have cracked the lineup once all the prospects have developed
Addition by subtraction for Columbus. Laine under performed and was horrible defensively. Maybe Laine can turn it around in Montreal, wish him the best.
Where's the Laine glazers now
Habs took Laine before they took Dubois 💀
Harris has a 6.2 expected goals above replacement last season led all Habs D in that category. Do your homework 😒
leafs aint making the playoffs this year mark my word!
Man…I really wanted him to come back to Winnipeg.
Habs fan here, Harris is a nice kid but honestly can't see him ever being more than a bottom pair guy. He's small and not particularly talented
I expected him to go to Utah, because Utah has all that cap space and wants to make a big splash in their first year in Utah. It seems like a strange trade for Montreal, I still don't know if they're a good enough team to make the playoffs. But they get a second round pick, so I guess it's still a good trade for them even if they don't make the playoffs either of the next two years.
Did not think that CBJ would have to add a 2nd round pick in any Laine trade tbh
Habs are looking very scary even as of next season but especially 2025-26 when Demidov enters the league, oh
Boyy
Really like Harris but it was becoming obvious he was the odd man odd on the Canadien's D. Laine is high-risk but if he doesn't pan out they can cut ties after the season and they still have a high 2nd rounder.
Kent Hughes is running circles around these other GM’s
As a Columbus fan, I think people are missing the point from our perspective. The main goal was to not retain any salary with Laine and we did that. Yes, we didn’t get anything substantial for him, but we had zero leverage. We’re not as tight to the cap as before and it gives Don Waddell a lot more flexibility to form the roster for the better.
While I have full faith in Kent Hughes, I'm very nervous about this move as a Habs fan .
good move by the Habs, they desperately needed some size up front also and this covers that
Even if Laine does not find his stride in Montreal it's a good trade for both teams.
Wonder which one will be the biggest bust? Pierre-Luc Dubois or Patrik Laine
finally habs bruins will be interesting
I remember people making the case for the Leafs maybe taking Laine instead of Matthews. Wow
Jordan Harris blows, he's a worse version of Josh Gorges. Awful under pressure, crumbles physically.
Kent Hughes, the professional finessor. Absolute 🐐 of GMs. All of his moves have been Ws. LFG 💙🤍❤️
@OhNyquist – Can you please stop with the lazy language? Why are you saying your "str" sounds with an added "sh" sound? Its not "reshtricted" or "shtrong". It's restricted. It's strong. Jesus Lord. You didn't learn it that way as a child and you never used to speak like that. What the hell are you doing it for now?
Can’t wait to see what Laine does in a first class major league city! Nothing against Winnipeg and Columbus. But Montreal is next level. Laine should be psyched!
Ivan Demigod and Laine playing the wings to say… Dach?
It’s unbelievable! Harris for a 2nd round pick was great, but on top of it, we received Laine 😂😂
Huge W for Habs
The Gortughes Masterclass just keeps rolling along. If they get Laine back on track he will be an incredible trade asset next year.
Great trade by CBJ! got rid of locker room cancer and that atrocious contract for only a 2nd round pick. Good luck with Laine montreal, you're gonna need it.
I think this is a win for the jackets laine is so lazy he’ll be fast with the puck when going to the o zone. But the back check is so dumb he doesn’t try that’s why he was traded out of Winnipeg he’s been benched a lot because of that he’s a good goal scorer and smart with the puck sometimes great goal scorer but lacks of back check is ugliest stuff I’ve ever seen. Love the content
I would have been ok with just the 2026 2nd roubder for Harris. We needed his roster spot. No we cleared a spot for whoever earns it at training camp and we acquire a top 6 winger whose contract expires at the end of Demidov's first year. Everything about this is trade is perfect
GO HABS GO
