Don't let him visit Sharangovich's home.

Lol, I’m saving the “monetary” thanks for insiders, but thanks for making me laugh out loud for the second time today.

What happened to Laine anyways? Is his body just broken? Doesn't care? He used to be a pretty outstanding goalscorer and he's still only 27.
Is there any chance at reclamation?

Video games - Apparently he had/has quite the addiction.

Started well with Montreal but then had injury problems, and I think also got displaced by younger players.

I would sign him to a 1 year show me deal for sure.

Feels like he hasn’t been relevant in a Fortnite.

He has spoken publicly about mental health struggles, treatment and says he has a better handle on it recently.

Would Montreal want to trade Josh Anderson to get out from his $5.5 million for this year and next? Seems a lot for 20 points.

That would help taking on Kadri's contract.

If it went well, they could trade him at the deadline.

Josh Anderson makes too much sense from a money standpoint. But the futures compensation better be good in that case as unlike Anderson, Kadri is still worth his price tag.

I know it’s not gonna happen but I’d love a Kadri + Coleman (50% retained) for Laine + Anderson + extra futures deal

Makes the cap benefits more intriguing for MTL, while also having us not need to retain on Kadri, and maximizes our future pool in this deal from one of the most stacked organizations in terms of prospects in the league.

It does seem like the insiders have gone very quiet since the Parayko fiasco. Friedman looks like a child sitting in time out at the desk this year. Normally he’s constantly throwing out rumours and speculation.

He also mentioned that an NHL executive grilled him over the Parayko thing.

He’s a power play assassin. He was basically automatic 5 on 4 for a stretch there in Montreal.

Laine could get tons of time here going into UFA. Makes tons of sense for him. Parekh Gridin Laine PP1 could be fun. Just missing a centre

No trades have been announced for a while now. We're in the eye of the storm. It's about to get furious. We're closer to the end. Hang in there peoples! It's about to happen!

Not watching the tv coverage this year as I’m busy, but how are they filling the time? There have been only a couple trades. Seems like every year it’s all hype, little substance, and it tests their ability to bs for hours on end.
