- Sportsnet parle aux FEFANS..
- Qui pensaient que Max Domi ou Phil Danault...
- Avec Kulak et Mete...et un choix de première ronde..
- Allaient leur amener Patrik Laine..
- HAH!!!
Would a Jets team desperate to keep its Stanley Cup window open, one in serious need at centre and on defence, be willing to move its top sniper?
We’d be shocked.
But Laine’s name has been out there and that has to be related to their needs, but also what could be a tough negotiation in a year’s time.
We wouldn’t trade him. In what most considered to be a down year in 2018-19, Laine still scored 30 goals and 50 points.
We will concede, he’s exactly what the Canadiens need; a pure shooter, a big body, a power-play weapon. He’s only 22, and he’d fit in great with a growing Finnish contingent in Montreal.
But take your Domi/Danault, Mete/Kulak and a first suggestions and save them for some outdated message board. A deal like this doesn’t get done without one or two of Montreal’s top prospects — and a premium player or two — going the other way.
Let’s be real: a deal like this doesn’t get done, so this is probably the last time we’ll be discussing it in this space.
