What's up with Laine this year and those numbers? Injury or riding pine?

Yes they do but lots of discussion of them not wanting to use it on Kadri since it's over 3 years (4 if they buy him out the last year).

Temper your expectations. We aren't getting Zharovsky back. It will be their 10th best prospect like the Weegar trade.

Maybe we re-sign Laine on a 1 year deal and flip him next deadline?

Next year might be difficult but the season after that they free up a lot of space with Danault, Gallagher and Anderson all becoming UFAs

Laine makes total sense coming back, ship him out retained 5min later. Works for me.

well, the Flames are trying to move two players that they might retain on. Also, the retention is for multiple years, so it may inhibit future trades. Habs would have to make it worth it!

Habs could use a cap dump of Laine or gallagher. Could be interesting!

He'll probably play for 5 games and be injured for the rest of it. Take him now as a cap dump to move Kadri and lower expectations that we are going to get more out of him

I wonder if Montreal might be asking for Whitecloud.

I came back to CP after a couple hours and the server was slow so I knew that there was something more newsworthy LOL.

Just looking, Laine has a 10 team no trade, almost guaranteed Flames are one of them.

Naw. Feed him offensive and PP time next year, pump his value and move him out.
