sure, as long as the habs aren't giving up any key players or high end prospects lol... it still sounds like a poopty deal for CLB but I guess with Laine's situation they don't have much leverage either.

it also depends on why he was in the players' assistance program, if he was going through the same kind of thing as Drouin, then MTL might not be the ideal market for him to play in.

I think what we can offer is no salary retention - its only 2 years and give us ample time to see if we want to keep Laine beyond,

so maybe with no salary retention we can get him cheap ?

...?

For cheap? Why not?

He would be the best forward on this team…with everything to prove in the best hockey market in the world.

I wouldn't be angry or sad if they do get him. he has very nice qualities obviously, but me I'd pass.

NHL teams sure like to recycle their ol' boys club, tabarnak.

i feel like we should just go get jobs with the league. it secures you never go long without employment (even if you do have to move to north jersey).

plus with the kind of salaries they're making you should be ok between jobs...

Not bs. You can find the info all over the place from very reliable journalists

Since you are "bloggerless" here's my two cents on Laine: https://thehockeywriters....ealistic-trade-canadiens/

https://thehockeynews.com...side-information-on-laine

Guess who was just asked for their headshots by the Canadiens for their credentials pass

Sounds like most players in the nhl…peg and Columbus…yeah…no thanks

sports is nuts. i read this morning that charles barkley has a 10 year contract to be a basketball analyst but his network might lose the nba and he would apparently have the option to sit at home and get paid 20 million per year for the last 7 years.
