Multi-year contract extension for Patrik Laine and the Canadiens? A clue surfaces
Since joining the Canadiens, Patrik Laine has been very well-liked by the organization and the fans, and he also loves his new adopted city.
His wife also loves Quebec, and she doesn't hesitate to say so publicly on her social networks. We can't wait to see him back in action.
It's really too bad he got injured, when he seemed to be on a mission and ready to work extra hard to become the second overall pick he once was.
A contract extension for Patrik Laine?
While he will become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2026, Patrik Laine will have to play up to his talent if he hopes to have a lucrative long-term deal.
Kent Hughes has shown that he is comfortable signing players long-term, but the risk must be worth it, like with Cole Caufield, Kaiden Guhle and Juraj Slafkovsky.
For Patrik Laine, we will have to wait to see him on the ice during the games, but one thing is certain, his wish is to stay with the Canadiens and rest assured that he will give everything he has for his new team.
Not only was he the first on the ice and the last to leave at training camp, he has just partnered with ALBI le Géant for the purchase of his new luxury car.
It is the Genesis GV70 Sport, which has a base price of nearly $62,000. We agree that Laine must have taken it fully equipped with all the possible options, which considerably inflates the price.
It's not surprising to see a player who makes $8.7 million a year buy this type of vehicle, but what is interesting is that he is partnering with a local company, while he has less than two years left on his contract.
It is also important to note that he seems to be in great shape. In my opinion, we should see him back on skates in the next few days. He will train for a few weeks before returning to the game.
