Merci!
Always a good show with Grant...
I would compare Laine with Armia. Both have high potential talent, but have issues bringing it together. Unless Columbus can take some of his salary, I can't see the Habs taking him at 8.7 Mil and he continues to struggle. It would be a bad move.
I don't agree with Grant on much but I appreciate listening to different opinions👍
The key is Grant said if "Laine is motivated he can score 40 goals blindfolded!" Keyword ,MOTIVATED. I want a player who is motivated for a 9am practice,a game 7 overtime game, sent to the minors for rehabilitation,a player who when he puts the CH on he becomes a different animal.The players that evoke/respect the ghosts of Elmer,Doug,Maurice,Henri.Guy! Slafs got it,Nick got it,Cole got it,Wifi got it.They just keep on rocking!

Small players , meaning shrimps must be extra fast,.... extra strong .... extra fearless. Caufeild is non of these... Habs should trade him while his asset value is still high .... You can get much better players for 8 million $$
Laine wouldn’t come cheap and from a Habs stand point too risky at this juncture. Often injured and inconsistent. The Montreal fans wouldn’t put up with his play.
i always liked Laine and if he bounces back he would be a beast in MTL...
Picturing this lineup … Laine - Suzuki - Slafkovsky Caufield - Dach - Lindstrom Roy - Newhook - Armia Tuch - Beck - Xhekaj Matteson - Rainbacher Hutson - Ghule Xhekaj - Mailloux Fowler

Why are we having a show on Laine who is a good goal scorer but very very inconsistent ??? Do we need that guy who might be indeed another PL Dubois ???
Even if Laine solves his problems, i don't like his contract: 2 more years at 8,7 millions... What if he wants to go UFA in 2 years from now? I don't really care about the next two years to be honest, Montreal will start to contend in 3 to 5 years from now... If you have no certainty in retaining Laine, i would stay away from this... For now. Next summer, it would be different as he would be able to sign an extension...
So Grant, Tony... would you rather have the CBJ trade Laine to us and pick the guy the Habs Management like the most at 4 ? Or would you rather have Colombus keep Laine & pick a D at 4th for us to then get the Lindstrom, Demidov or Sennecke our scouts truly want? I'm more inclined on the latter considering the uncertainties considering this otherwise superb player.
This is a playoff team next season - Slaf-Suzuki-Caufield Roy-Dach-Laine Newhook-Dubois-Iginla/Anderson Gallagher-Evans-Armia Matheson-Guhle Struble-Savard Xhekaj-Mailloux

A little trivia ... Tony asks Grant what the value is for a 26th overall, to which Grant responds, "It's not great." Well, in the 2016 draft featuring Auston, PLD & Laine, the Sabres' # 26 selection happened to be Tage Thompson !!
What do you guys think about Adrian kempe as possibly target he just had 75 point season it would be more of let’s take next step move but I think we could offer intriguing offers

I love Grant, but Laine.... ouch! Great SICK SICK show as always
I love this idea
I really believe that Laine is the biggest homerun they could trade for, he's 26 wich is great vet experience and much more talented than Necas for example... Not too big of a price like Winnipeg's first, Calgary's first and Harris or Barron and we're ready to contend!! That good of a trade and we know he can perform in playoffs as he did in his early career
I would for sure trade for laine!! Low cost medium risk high high reward

trade caufeild for Laine yes....
So the following was my 1st impression yesterday >>> Re: Laine, I say don't go there ... "Coach" Frenchie sums it up well : (1) Laine is prone to injury (2) He's on the NHLPA program 🇲🇦 (3) Salary cap (8.7 mil x 2 yrs) (4) Work ethic 👎 (5) Inconsistency (6) Doesn't fit within the Habs culture ..... WELL, ON 2nd THOUGHT ... Well, if the cost is right. If for example Columbus can do some salary retention, perhaps "re-take" Josh Anderson's contract (the irony !), the Habs really wouldn't have much to lose in trying him out short-term (like for a couple of years). In return, as Grant suggests, KH could perhaps add to the mix Harris and a lower draft selection (not necessarily the Jets' 1st round). At the end of the day, I guess it might be worth a shot ?
Rather go for Nychuskyn

Why would you chance a player from the outside when you are progressing on a rebuild? I don't care if we can get him at a decent price. Secondly taking Slaf from the top line is asinine. You keep them together.
Yesss they should trade for him in a hurry while his value is low !! Laine would be a home run in Montreal

Agree. In 2 & 1/2 years they traded for ... zero established players. I expect them to get a young player with skill and ceiling that they can develop. For sure they are being careful about who they bring into the dressing room. They passed on PLD last year.

Id take a pass on Laine and make a swing at a second top 7 to aquire Sennecke! Imagine if we cone out of that draft with either Demidov or Lindstrom + Sennecke! Either the top 2 pairs of hands in the draft or 2 best forwards with size! Top six would be complete either way!

They might get 2 top 10 picks in 2025, without giving anything up. They have to start playing Hutson & Mailloux, will loose Savard and start Reinbacher. They aren't moving up the standings with 3 defence men who currently have 3 games experience. Calgary is picking 9th this year and Mtl have their 2025 pick. They moved out experience D recently and could finish even lower.

People are blind... Can't they see that caufeild is not a top line winger in the playoffs
A lot of folks talk a lot of sh*t about Laine, that he was only good one season or something like that. Just so you know, Laine was the 12th most efficient even-strength goal scorer over the last three regular seasons. (minimum 1000 minutes played). Laine has a 98 % goals per scoring chance. And only 1 % of the scoring chances were High-Danger scoring chances, so he finishes from places others can't. In 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 Laine scored a combined 48+60=108p in 111 games in a team that sucked ass. He was the best-producing player in Columbus in both seasons. Yes, Laine has to get better with whatever mental health issues he is dealing with, but if he gets better and returns he can definitely be an asset.
He already played at center so we can just do like Bergevin did with Drouin… 😅
If PLD gets bought out and you can sign him cheap 4 years that is the way to go.
I think Mailloux will be better than Reinbacher in the end!
Slovakia,Latvia,Kurdastan will produce the next "NEXT ONE!"

No Tony, they did not go out and 'acquire' Matheson. He was a swap for Petry who demanded a trade. He was not an addition. He is a temporary player who was forced onto the team. Savard will go in Feb then Matheson will be the only D left with over 150 games experience.

Oh please do it. First off it is obvious to Stevie that Laine might, might be a little arrogant, immature and sulky. Truth is outside of PK Montreal hasn't had an easily unlikable player on the team since before the Leafs won their last cup for them, (while wearing Habs sweaters). I prayed, oh how I prayed that Burrows would sign there when he left Vancouver, but alas he signed with Ottawa. He really would have fit the bill. A shame he didn't spend his career there really. So ya do it. He will handcuff the teams salary cap for years and only contribute when it doesn't matter , do it.
I think the cost might be excessive.

Short answer: NO!
Laine is a lame team player.
2 issues. His cap hit 8.7 and only has 2 seasons left. He's not worth 8.7 today... so I want CLB to retain or take back a contract.. but if Liane does bounce back then he's UFA with a big demand for a raise just when we are ready to contend. Also Montreal is probably not the best place for a player in the program with addiction issues.
