Who Won the Patrik Laine Trade? | Montreal Canadiens/Columbus Blue Jackets (NHL Trade Breakdown)

[@KingSteady]

Kent is a genius. Even if they flip him for a 1st round pick, it's a crazy great trade. Asset management is primo. A potential 1st and 2nd for Harris. But he obviously fills top 6. I could see Suzuki, Slaf, Laine 1st line. Dach, Caufield, Newhook 2nd line.

[@Rwjnigahiga]

I desperately pray that Armia will never see a top 6 role ever again with this organization, now that this trade is into effect

[@YoungGunsPodcast]

Unless there are injuries then we shouldn’t be worried about that😉

[@4Pete]

Harris for a 2nd rounder wins the trade alone

[@markorr999]

We (the Habs) needed to move Harris (he was on the block at the deadline) We get a 2nd round pick (Harris was a 3rd round) and a possible 30 goal winger? Huges is a genius. 😉

[@YoungGunsPodcast]

Traded an extra d man for a top 6 forward. Those are the trades we love to see

[@ShaneLavigne-ke2rh]

I think it's a great trade and he can score and they get a second round draft pick Wellcome Laine to Montreal go HABS go

hey guys armia is on third line get with the times...mabye 2nd

[@YoungGunsPodcast]

No way Armia is playing top 6 minutes with this current roster unless they’re injuries. He will continue to play on the 3rd line like last year with Roy since they had great chemistry.

[@ShaneLavigne-ke2rh]

Roy should be in the lineup to go habs

[@ilkkak3065]

40 points for Laine would be kind of fail. After all he has 117 points in his last 129 games. That's like 74 points in 82 games if he stay healthy.

[@YoungGunsPodcast]

I think he’ll have a 60 point season if healthy. He’s playing with all the right guys on a very structured coaching staff to help improve his game.

[@Theguywholikedthethinginthevid]

Laine will be surrounded with talented players, unlike in Columbus.

[@stockey]

I think Roy will be on the second line, Dach will be the center of the second line, Newhook is going on the third line.

[@steves.1645]

There is nothing wrong with the Columbus market. People make that comment who are ignorant of the City and metro area, as well as the State. It's certainly not a big market franchise like New York, Toronto, Montreal, etc, but it is a very good smaller market area.

[@YoungGunsPodcast]

I believe that their fanbase is passionate but Jarmo ran Columbus to the ground and Waddell is left cleaning up his mess.

[@jimieljoseph2322]

He's washed up. He won't stay healthy

[@YoungGunsPodcast]

@@jimieljoseph2322 Yes he’s been injury prone but let’s see if he can stay healthy after being gone for most of last year. I think he’ll be productive if he stays healthy. We shall see
