I think Laine can thrive in the right environment, but some things need to fall into place for him in order for that to be feasible.

The Habs have done well with reclamation projects so far. Depending on what the cost, I'd go for it. As for Laine's personal struggles, Montreal patiently worked with Mailloux regarding his legal issues and education regarding respect for women, and they have experience dealing with players in the NHL substance abuse program thanks to Price. I think the culture at Montreal is different now. It's orientated around players, especially the younger generation and their need for time away from the spotlight. It might not be as bad in Montreal for Laine as you think.

@toddlauretteHabsFan 8 күн бұрын

Im with u Bro, u nailed it. However, if the price is right... If Columbus will retain some salary, and take the right pieces off our hands, a deal could be made. For example, if they'd take Anderson, Harris, and Wpg's 1st rounder, that we got from the Monahan deal, plus retain $3m a season, then that might be hard to pass up. But ur so right, trying to find his game again, in Montreal, might not be the best idea, maybe the pressure will help him stay focused and on track. I just dont want to bring anyone in that's going to fuck with the chemistry in the room, everyone seems to like everyone, and one person can totally change that dynamic. I am excited about what's going to happen at the draft!!! Go Habs Go!!! Make smart picks (goal scoring forwards), and trade Wpg's pick for help now, or use the pick, im good either way.

We have no choice other than spending to the cap because we need to activate the LTIR for Price.. the cap just increased and we’ve let of guys like Allen, Pearson and the Alzner cap hit is finally over too.. so we actually need to take on salary otherwise we would need to trade Price.. Laine is the perfect risk. Only 2 years on his deal.. if the habs decide not to resign him, they can deal him at the deadline.. on the other hand, he might become a keeper.. short story long; we need to spend to the cap or trade price.. facts but no one’s really seeing that side of it

#5 pick and Anderson for the #4 pick and Laine. No money retained on either side. Same money for either side, but less term for MTL. Exchange of picks to make up for Laine's history, player assistant program, etc, etc. Solves everyone's problems, 2 problem players moved out. Gets us free of Anderson's cap hit a year earlier(2yrs at $8.5 vs 3yrs at $5.5). If Marty can't snap him back to his former self, likely no one can. Worth a shot IMHO 2nd line of Laine Dach Newhook.

So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place for what I would do.
