Patrik Laine to Montreal for two underperformers? That's what's being discussed
The name Patrik Laine has been circulating a lot in Montreal since the beginning of the summer, and it's gaining momentum with a recent post by Aaron Portzline.
The journalist covering the Blue Jackets is very plugged into Columbus. He's the equivalent of Arpon Basu for the Canadiens. It's clear that when you follow the team daily, you end up with good contacts.
According to him, Don Waddell would not be very demanding in return for Laine, and the Canadiens have exactly what's needed.

That's where Marco Normandin from Habsolument Fan immediately thought of Joel Armia and Christian Dvorak. Imagine if Kent Hughes could acquire Patrik Laine by unloading two contracts of players with no future in Montreal!

In recent days, Sportsnet's Canadiens beat writer, Eric Engels, mentioned that the rumors about Laine to Montreal made him laugh and that he genuinely believes the organization's interest is minimal.
It's indeed a possibility, but at this price, Kent Hughes should definitely look into it. We're talking about one of the top snipers in the NHL, if not the world.
