In this episode, we discuss...
On August 19, 2024, the Montreal Canadiens acquired forward Patrik Laine and 2026 2nd round pick for defenseman Jordan Harris.
Patrik Laine is a 26-year-old big sized winger (6'5") and was drafted 2nd overall in the 2016 NHL draft. He has scored 30+ goals twice and 40+ goals once. He has the ability to be a top line impact forward. When he is focused and engaged, he can change the course of game. He has one of the heaviest shots in the entire NHL and his release is up there with some of the best. He has posted 117 pts in his last 129 games and has a career goal per game average of ~35 goals. From a health perspective, his last few seasons have been a little rough. However, his points production has been very solid on a very bad team, while going through some personal issues.
Jordan Harris was a true professional and by all accounts, a very good person. However, there wasn't any place for him on the Montreal Canadiens roster. We wish him the best of luck.
We have spoken about Laine to the Habs for quite some time now. Admittedly, when the rumors first surfaced up, we did not hate the idea of Laine with the Habs, but we had our reservations and concerns. As time went on, and as we got into the dead part of the offseason, we started to really see the benefits of taking a chance on a player like Laine. You can refer to Episodes 87 and 92 to hear our thoughts on the Laine to the Habs Rumors.
Fast forward to today, the trade happened. Laine is a Hab. Is it a good thing? tune in to find out what we think.
Question(s) of the week: Are you happy the Habs acquired Laine?
For those of you who hated the idea (and even gave us a lot of heat on our previous episode) of seeing the Habs acquire Laine, seeing what they gave up for him, are you ok with the trade?
