It's now confirmed by Renaud Lavoie that Patrik Laine and his girlfriend Jordan Leigh are arriving in Montreal in the next few hours!
We will therefore be able to see him on the ice at the CN Sports Complex in Brossard in the coming days, in the Canadiens' practice uniform.
We know that Nick Suzuki, Josh Anderson, Samuel Montembeault, and Jayden Struble, among others, have already been training in Brossard since the beginning of the summer, so he will already be with new teammates and the team leader.
This is really good news. We know that Patrik Laine and Jordan Leigh are both excited about arriving in Montreal, and they're showing it by arriving relatively early.
They will have time to find a good place to stay and get familiar with their new corner of the country and the Canadiens' facilities.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a little day reserved with Patrik Laine and the Canadiens at the Bell Centre, similar to what we saw in the past two years with Alex Newhook and Sean Monahan.
