@@amsro9094 As a goalie, if you're not Hasek, Roy, or Brodeur, you're easily replaceable. On a greatly built team, they only have to be decent during the regular season. Once in the playoffs, any goaltenders can go on a heater and make the difference. Look at all the champions in the last 50 years. You don't need a star goalie to win it all.

@@axlcell No but when a goalie is breaking his back to make great saves it helps a lot, let’s not underestimate the tendies here, sure a good team in front helps with the confidence but you still need a goalie who has that drive to stretch the extra limb and make that goal saving save, look at Price, Vasy, Bob, Rinne, Fleury, Rask etc. Some who never won a cup but who were a difference maker for a deep playoff dive

The age aside, it's not a risk because we have way too many defensemen prospect, and his cap hit doesn't really matter given it's just 2 years. If he's great? Fantastic. If he's bad/doesn't fit? We traded Harris for a 2nd rounder, which is fine. When the worst case scenario is 'decent', you're in good shape!

Very similar trade to the Monahan one. Montreal is getting Laine at 2 years for a high cap hit that really dosen't matter as we are still rebuilding. It really won't affect us. Just like the Monahan 6 million contract when we got him. I think Laine will stay for 2 years. Get resigned at like 3x6.5 and get flipped. Which would result in us having Laine for 2 years. Whatever he could fetch and basically a late first for a bottom 2 defenseman. Major win. Same trade. Less risk. More reward.

Games will be fire but putting Laine and Matthews in the same sentence wore itself out the first time I saw it. Now years later Ovechkin is actually going to beat Gretzky goal record in 2 years and Matthews doesn't just have way more goals than ovechkin at the same age in their careers but Matthews just came off if 69 goals and he did 45% more of those goals on 5vs5. Can Laine pot 30? Let's start there. Personally I think Laine can pot 35-40 but I'm not sold.

Hey man. Great video. I wanna say as a Habs fan. The reason we really have that goal scoring believe in Caufield is because he kinda already proved he can be that. His rookie year without the Ducharme 4th line games paced for over 40 goals. And then the next year was pacing for 50 for a lot of the year. And then this year. Scored 28 goals on 8% shooting. Thats really to me just screaming 50 if he is shooting at the 15%-20% we know he could.

Finnish interest is obviously on Laine, but also on Oliver Kapanen from the Kapanen hockey clan. He's playing in Swedish league next season in Timrå IK, where his father Kimmo is an sporting director and the former Panthers captain Olli Jokinen is coaching. All are basically from the same city, Kuopio, although Oliver was borm in Timrå. Also his father Kimmo played hockey as a goalie. Oliver's uncle is Sami Kapanen and cousin is Sami's son Kasperi Kapanen, who both have played in NHL. Kasperi plays in St. Louis Blues. And also grandpa Hannu played and then coached. He played on a national team level. The local team in Kuopio is Kalpa, in which all of them have played or coached at some point. One of the club owners is Kimmo Timonen. who won the Stanley Cup in Blackhawks in 2015.

As it stands, the Laine deal put Montreal $2 million over the cap. But... They have six UFA's this year, half of them are likely to be traded. Basu asked Hughes in the trade interview if he was going to put Price on LTIR this fall to cover the cost, he said they don't think so. Expect another trade(s), likely after training camp. The team pays almost $22 million for Price, Gallagher and Anderson. Once this changes, everything will change. HuGo is on the right track, good video!

They don’t need to trade. They just have to assign two players to the AHL on paper. On day 1, they will place Price on LTIR and then recall the 2 players immediately. With RHP also on LTIR, Habs should have approx $9.5-$10.5M cap space to start the season.

@@BubbleGumPlant I'm just going by what the boss said to Apron in that interview, he can surely change his mind if he gets in a bind. RHP is only on IR, not LTIR so they cant recoup any salary as far as I know. Also, the only players who would be waiver exempt to send down would be Struble and Roy I think, and they are part of the 23 man roster. If they have a trade partner for one of the UFA's, it would be the better option because someone may make it out of camp, requiring a free slot on the team.

You seem to have missed the point that the line of CC-Suzuki-Slaf was a minus last year, if they are allowing more goals than they are scoring they are still going backwards. CC and Suzuki when together 5 on 5 have been a minus no matter who the 3rd player is, The answer is to split them up and give more size insulation to CC, a line of CC-Dach-Slaf comes to mind. The line of CC-Dach-Monahan seemed to have done well. This leaves Suzuki, who is a #1 center, to center Laine. This obsession with putting together a line that is a minus needs to stop if the Habs are wanting to make the playoffs. Put them together on the PP, but not 5 on 5.

To get into the Playoffs, ideally the team should be at least +20 in GF vs GA. Habs were at -63 so they have 83 goals to makeup. Let’s say +30 to Laine, +Dach/-Monahan is a wash, +10 and +10 improvement for Caufield and Slaf, and +15 for an improved defense, that’s a net +65 so I think they are a bubble team but will miss the playoffs. Edit: Hutson getting 30 pts doesn’t move the needle. If he gets 50-60 pts, then I would say that swings the goal differential by another +20 and maybe the Habs make the playoffs with a Calder nominee on their blue line.

I would expect that MTL will want to treat Laine like a $8M guy, and give him first look at the top line, and pp. If he doesn't have 15P by 20 games, then you can start to move him onto the second line, but if you want to see if he still has it, then you need to give him the wheel.

Laine is a better scorer then Caufield ATM and he is only 26 so he is not a veteran coming to help the kids. I can't see him being on the second line exept if he is underperforming.

Don't underestimate the way Laine will respond to being a valued "team-member," and being coached by MSL. That illusive thing winning hockey teams have -- chemistry -- is just well-combined character. I predict 45 goals for Patrick this year, and improved results for Nick, Juraj, Cole, etc.

What i’s worried about is how he’ll take assignment to 2nd line. If he finds chemistry fast with Dach then all fine. If Dach gets injured and they put Kerfoot in center we will se ”lazy” Laine all over again.

I am a habs fan but I am also a realist. Highlight goals look great for the fanbois to see but there is a LOT more to hockey than the 10-20 second highlight reels. Scoring goals and assists look great on the scoresheet and make individuals appear good but again hockey is a LOT more than individual points. Hockey is a TEAM game yoru players need to play like team players and they need to play with a high level of IQ. All i kept hearing about was the habs #1 line was 5th in the league scoring goals.Well that means they would also be one of the worst for goals against becuase the entire line was a MINUS.

A 2nd round pick alone for Harris was a good trade, getting Laine as a throw in makes it an amazing trade. It's a no-lose situation. Montreal has two years on his current contract to evaluate and can either extend him at that time or let him go to FA. There's no pressure since Montreal are still two seasons away from possibly being a playoff team. In the 22/23 season Caufield was on pace for a 48-goal season, so it is possible that he can reach 50. Once Demidov, Beck, Reinbacher, Mailloux and Fowler join the team in the future this team is going to be scary.

​@@adamsteele6148It doesn't matter. It's a 2 year deal so they have options. After the fact they also got a 2nd. A) he does wonders after a year: they can shop him if their not hearing numbers he wants to be resigned B) he does wonders: he loves MTL and does a team discount for believing in him C) he's alright, and either way you mostly have same options just less reward D) he's doneskies: so you either move onbor get whatever you can get. Why? Because they have the time and Cao space to do it. Their window isn't open yet.
