This whole offseason has been a series of dreams come true.
Ehat it dors, it gives a legitimate scoring threat outside the first line. That telieves pressure off the first line and gives more of a powerplay threat.
Papa Pat!!!
its a great get for the Habs!
Patrick is seen as a "prima donna" by most teams. Remember, the last one in Mtl was Alex Kovalev. Bring him on .
Also, the 2nd round pick from Columbus should be an early 2nd round pick. Just that pick for Harris is great value.
As long as Laine and Dach can stay healthy. They should be in the wildcard race. With a good chance of taking one. If not this will be our last year missing out. They definitely don't want the locker room cancers. That's why he was smart enough to take a pass on PLD.
If Armia plays like he did at the end of last season. I would like to see him get some time on the 2nd line with Dach and fellow Fin Laine. The size of that line would be scary to play against. And it will bring up Armia's trade value before the deadline.
I agree w Laura. He had a healthy ego and I think he’s ready to go
BRO
Wait 'til you see how small 6'5" is when it comes in the body of Laine.
Thanks for paying for our mistake.
-Blue Jackets
My guess is Laine is dealing w manic Depression. If someone hasn’t dealt with it they don’t know what it’s like. If he can come back then he can be a motivation for many regardless of on ice play
Is it Patrik Pure Laine now?😊
So wanted this for him and more so for us. KH has put no constraints on him. For us to get him is huge he will be a fit here. Our management is progressive our coach has been there and the whole team has RESPECT. Now top 6 is set and 3rd is way better. He can go from to toxic to top3 and mentor. We deal in Human Resources so have to change with the times and have already done. We are not Torts we are not Vegas.
Omg thought of you Ian right away!! Your next jersey?? So excited!
If you told me we traded Harris for a high 2nd round pick I'd be happy with that alone.
WOW GO HABS GO !
Hmmm…an intriguing experience for the next 2 years!
Good thing Montreal has no night life to lure Laine…😂 Good luck my 🇫🇮 Friend.
Im I Laine fan. So now I will subscribe. I think Armia will help Laine to fit in the team.
I'm ok with this trade, only because Montreal didn't lose anything of real value. So it's a "Meh, why not" kind of reaction from me. Your tweets about trading for him would have made more sense in 2019, then they do now, but they don't really have anything to lose in this trade, unless they have to do something questionable to be cap compliant. The 2nd Round Pick is kind of hilarious, in the sense that Harris probably wasn't worth a second round pick on his own.
Removing a timmins pick, and upgrading the pick in return, good job
Only 2 years not much of a gamble plus 2nd round probably high pick
Ian is great but I feel a little sorry for Scott not having the chance to talk about this.
Patrik Laine's new nickname will be Zayde Laine
Is Scott Matla not a part of the podcast anymore ?

I wonder what Hughes thinks of Patrick’s friend Nick Ehlers who is a free agent next season and also wants to win a cup to bring back to Canada.
