Exactly. MTL is a dream city for players really wanting to revotalize their careers. I think of Kovalev, his years here were not perfect but he became an idol for the city. Not saying this is what Laine will do but, its possible...
It's not just the organization, the history, the team. Nowadays we have another factor that can help with restoring careers: the Marty factor! What happened with Laine is that he lost himself. He IS very talented, we saw it from the moment he entered the NHL. A good player like that doesn't just become bad for no reason, he got lost, he' built himself a shell to hide into. What Martin St-Louis does best is he breaks that shell and finds the human behind it. Once he find the human, the rest is history; the human finds the player again!
Thank you Mr Harris, a player I really liked on the Habs! There was simply not enough space for everyone. Wish him all the best in Columbus! Edit: Oh, and welcome to Montreal Mr Laine!
This feels amazing as a Habs fan. I agree with you guys, low risk, high reward. Laine can shine on the MTL core we have going. NEXT SEASON WILL BE CRAZY!!
Great move but a big shout out to Harris for his time here. A young man with a great attitude and promising future is hard to part with but 2 years of Laine will bring us closer to the timeline even if he doesn’t stay.
so happy to be on this journey with you guys not just josh and jesse, but all the habs family. truly, the rebuild is doing so well, and just enjoying the process. we are witnessing greatness in the making. enjoy boyzzzz (n girlzzz)
I think this will be good. Maybe I am being too optimistic but the environment that Laine will be in will be good for him. Young team motivated to win plus a coach that preaches an offense style of hockey. Not the dump and chase of Laine's past coaches but real possession hockey that Laine has been known for. So here's hoping for a bright future.
Getting a second round out of this is a bonus......love Harris, think he'll do great but someone had to go!! Let's just hope Laine can get back in the game and stay healthy!!
What a steal of a trade! If Laine rebounds and fits in under coach Saint Louis. We will be a force to reckon with. He is a pure sniper! He is a really good guy off and on the ice. Tons of character . Him and his fiancé have a program to bring awareness to mental health. I think he will fit in just fine and be great. This is the type of guys we are after. He can teach our youth a ton. He is also 6 foot 4....
Really hope this works out .... The BELL Center will be BUZZING !! He will need to fit in the HABS CULTURE ... AND ...STAY HEALTHY ..if so ...this is a BIG Win ..!!!😊
From Winnipeg to colombus to montreal, he will be happy here. We are friendly too. Players wanna play for the canadians. Nice to see. 2027 the cup will be back. Cup # 27 before 2030.
People change. He’s 27 years old. It’s not because you had issues in the past you can’t overcome them. He’s been through some pretty bad hockey rooms with Wpg & Columbus. Both known to have bad rooms in those years.
Laine has something to prove. I'm really hoping oce he hears and feels the crowd cheering him on. It's really going to motivate him! Plus, we have a great room. They guys believe in one another! That's really going to help him.
Huge steal for the Habs. Laine will be the best player in the team. He will be 30 goal and 40 assist this season and Montreal will love him. Patty have huge heart and the passion to win.
I see alot of people doubtful that Laine can bounce back... Listen, Montreal can sometimes do alot for players that have gone down the wrong path. And it's not just the organization, the history, the team... Nowadays the Canadiens have another factor that can help with restoring careers: the Marty factor! What happened with Laine is that he lost himself. He IS very talented, we saw it from the moment he entered the NHL. A good player like that doesn't just become bad for no reason at 27 years old! He got lost. He's built himself a shell to hide into. What Martin St-Louis does best is he breaks that shell and finds the human behind it. Once he finds the man, the rest is history; the man finds the player again!
Wishing Jordan Harris the best of luck. Now let's see what Patrick shows up on the ice. I firmly believe giving people a second choice. Up to him know ...to prove he is worthy of the Habs fan love.
Wishing the best to Jordan Harris. The kid has done everything right always and now he will have a solid chance to establish himself in CBJ, he clearly has the potential and honestly i wish we would’ve sacrificed baron but i also understand why harris was the target.
I couldn't agree more. Always felt like Harris was vastly under-rated. And no clue what HuGo saw in Barron. But like you say, it's obvious why Harris was who Columbus wanted.
This sets up a big offseason before the 26-27 season where Montreal will have a lot of expiring contracts to make a decision on. Players like: Patrick Laine, Kirby Dach, Joshua Roy, Arber Xhekaj, Lane Hutson, Logan Mailloux, etc. are all going to have expired contracts heading into that season(if they don't re-sign before that). Should be very interesting to see what transpires over this next 2+ years!
that is exacyly how you build a team you trade assets for future draft picks as your building it creats internal competition and great draft assets to trade !
I love the patience of this management team. Waddel wanted more and more early on but it was obvious that for Columbus to unload the entire Laine contract, few teams could afford to take it on. So we are getting a second round pick and a good one at that, for Harris which was running out of time in MTL, and Laine a second pick overall for FREE!!!!! Wow !!!
Laine got gaslit and bullied in Winnipeg. Next he had to play in Columbus who are bad, in the midst of which his father passed away. This obviously affected his mental health and he had to go into the the NHLPA assistance program to get the help he needed to recover from all this. Due to these speed bumps that've been hampering his career I feel like people have forgotten what kind of a rookie and sophomore Laine was. 4th youngest player in NHL history to score 100 goals, among other similar accolades. And he can shoot hard and accurately from being in unbalanced, tricky body, positions and bad passes, but when he gets a clean one time pass into his wheelhouse, the puck doesn't fly through the air, it timetravels into the net before other particles in the universe can interact with each other, or the puck. As an example of the former, this is his casual "I'm not gonna shoot because I'm showing no wind-up oh wait the puck is already in the net" shots: th-cam.com/video/nDY9Lw25wvA/w-d-xo.html. And sorry it's against the Habs but here's a good look at the clean one-timer th-cam.com/video/orc53wJ6kHU/w-d-xo.html I'm hoping the NHLPA program was effective and he has gotten over the unfair things that went on for the first few years of his career and will now be back the same or stronger than ever.
A very calculated risk in a shorter term situation for a high cap hit. It will be up to Patrik to save his career and with the mental health treatment/attitude he has now it has a greater chance of success for both him and the team. This will be a team/season to watch so get your snacks ready to enjoy Habs fans.
I am happy with the chance HAbS are taking But, I am left with a question : why is it that the HABS cannot trade for a “no controversy” offensive star?? It is undeniable that Laine has a lot of controversy. Why can the HABS never seem to get a top sniper ? Or maybe that is coming too?
I am not thrilled by this trade but I am happy for Jordan Harris because I think he can spread his wings. I really like the guy and selfishly would like him to stick around so that he can be plugged in wherever we need him. But he only was on 2 year contract And I'm sure he saw the writing on the wall and that would impact the next negotiation. Really happy we got what's going to be a good second round pick but would have preferred to see Trudeau or Engstrom go or Columbus retaining 1.5 to keep them below Nick Suzuki. Perfect scenario is he scores 25 this year and signs for a extension at a team friendly rate before he settles into a 30-ish goal typical season. It's been a long time since he's been a 40-goal score but if he puts up a point again at least it will keep people from discussing the lack of scores and recent Canadiens history. But if he were long-term I'd be really excited about that second line which makes the third line look even better.
I will reserve my judgement until I see him play 10 games for Montreal. He comes with a lot of baggage and Montreal fans are tough if you don't produce. I still don't think Montreal will make the playoffs just because they are in the toughest division in the NHL. MSL is offensive minded and I think the best strategy is to let loose when it comes to offense just to build up the confidence of the players on the team. Sam & Primeau will have to be at their best in the first 10 games. They have to unlock a power play, get an offensive defense and get the top 6 working well together. It should be interesting and entertaining this year.
I read this so many times, 4-5 articles maybe, before I realized WE got the draft pick? Couldn’t believe it. Love Harris, sad he’s gone, but for this? Be well friend. Go Habs.
There is no bad scenario here . Let’s say he’s a bust and is hurt the entire time . Ok… so in 2 years we have him, Carey and Anderson off the cap hit . What is that like 22 mill? Ok $10 mill is LTIR but still. That’s a massive dump and we get a 2nd round pick . That being said, I think he’s gonna thrive here and provide us with a big piece of the puzzle.
Wow if I would of hoped any D go the other way it's Harris..I know he's young but I worried every time he was out there .. anyway I wish him well but yeah I'm happy..now if course Laine is pretty weak defensively I know but the offence will help greatly and more points for Suzuki,caufield
Nah, Ain't no way we get more point than Toronto, Florida, Tampa Bay, Boston AND any of the Metro top 5 teams... They could be the second wild card in the Atlantic, but this would mean we get MORE points than 2 of these teams: Rangers, Islanders, Devils, Hurricanes, Capitals. Keep in mind, we'll be playing in the best division in the league...
Really hard to build the bottom 6 without having Anderson and Gallagher on the 4th line. Add Dvorak and yo uhave to most expensive 4th line in the league hehe. Laine = BIG W
Laine will love Montreal. Progressive management MSL a coach who has been top player and understands the nuances of the game and everyone has RESPECT. If Laine can’t make it here then his career is over. We know his talent he is in 2 years one of our oldest players and has the chance to go from supposedly toxic to top 3 and mentor for our prospects. KH kills me he turned a 7th D into a top 3 and a 2nd to boot. Now we start trading we now have even more assets get McGroerty Get Kiliyev. A team with prospects as good as ours and maybe only Roy NHL ready means our prospects have time to season up time to get rid of our older players and time is on our side. KH knows it is a gamble but one with limited risk. Now if we get McGroerty and Kiliyev we have unless we hit only Roy and Hage have a chance of even making this team. Don’t think KH is done but still want a low draft this year. Let’s move players all over to get the right lines for 25/26. This year experiment then Demi comes over and we are so deep in talent that anyone that doesn’t pan out we have options.
Fantastic move. We just restored Monahan's career. We restored Tatar and Radulov in the past...we can restore this guy. He is a stud.
Exactly. MTL is a dream city for players really wanting to revotalize their careers. I think of Kovalev, his years here were not perfect but he became an idol for the city. Not saying this is what Laine will do but, its possible...
@@TheBalls2thewalls was close to perfect..and wasa real idol at this Time boooh to Montréal let him go
Ya man!
It's not just the organization, the history, the team. Nowadays we have another factor that can help with restoring careers: the Marty factor!
What happened with Laine is that he lost himself. He IS very talented, we saw it from the moment he entered the NHL. A good player like that doesn't just become bad for no reason, he got lost, he' built himself a shell to hide into.
What Martin St-Louis does best is he breaks that shell and finds the human behind it. Once he find the human, the rest is history; the human finds the player again!

Thank you, Jordan, best of luck young man! Welcome to Montreal, Patrick!

Awesome trade for the Habs.
Its a 2nd round pick from cbj on top of it so basically a late 1st round pick
Getting a second round out of this is a bonus......love Harris, think he'll do great but someone had to go!! Let's just hope Laine can get back in the game and stay healthy!!
Thank you Jordan Harris ❤
Thanks Jordan.
Habs are going to surprise everyone!!
Suzuki Caulfield slafkovsky.. Dach Laine Demidov.. Hage Roy Newhook.. Beck Xhekaj Mesar. Wow!!🎉
Omgggggoat what a trade, Harris value was a 2nd round + we have Laine for free
Even if Laine has a dissapointing performance, the 2nd roung pick is worth it.
I want the big boy line; slaf, dach, Laine.
That would be insane
That’s a slow ass line lmao
@@mikethibault2282 Just let Hutson carry the puck for them 😝
@@mikethibault2282But they're BIG! 🙄 Leave the first line intact, fgs.
Would be cool but have to balance the lines!
Fellow Newf here watching from BC. Things are looking great. Habs win the cup in five year’s.
Absolute masterclass by Kent Hughes
If we are healthy, we will make the playoffs this year!
Not a chance, don't have a goalie or the defense, but we'll definitely be better than last year.
His first 2 organization is far from Mtl Organization! He will be fine because he will feel wanted for sure.
Love the trade.

A deaaaaaaal of the century!!! We now have a potential 40+ goal scorer since Stephane Richer. ❤❤❤❤❤
Lots of love for Jordan Harris. Sad to seem you go, but I am happy about the addition.
Kent Hughes is the dad I never had. So spoiled 😊
Next year 25-26 with Demidov as #6 forward, Habs will have best top6 in all NHL
I hope that the Laine acquisition will take the spotlight off of Anderson on the right side long enough for him to get it going again!
Really hope this works out .... The BELL Center will be BUZZING !! He will need to fit in the HABS CULTURE ... AND ...STAY HEALTHY ..if so ...this is a BIG Win ..!!!😊

it is huge and im very proud now we will have a real Laine vs Mattews
Huge steal for the Habs. Laine will be the best player in the team. He will be 30 goal and 40 assist this season and Montreal will love him. Patty have huge heart and the passion to win.
Very good trade think Montreal is in great shape to get a playoffs spot and maybe a long run
