The name Patrik Laine has been frequently mentioned in trade rumors for quite some time. More than ever, a move to the Canadiens could become a reality.
Recently, a journalist from the renowned media outlet "The Athletic" listed the Montreal Canadiens as one of the three potential teams that could acquire the Finnish sniper from the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Ducks and the Hurricanes are currently ahead of the Canadiens as favorites, but Montreal ranks third.
The Blue Jackets might be willing to retain a portion of Laine's annual $8.5 million salary.
Patrik Laine has just exited the NHL's player assistance program and has had limited playtime over the past two years.
Although he has slowed down since joining Columbus, he was an elite shooter during his years with the Winnipeg Jets.
At just 26 years old, a fresh start could be beneficial for him. Will the Canadiens and Kent Hughes pull off a magic trick to acquire him at a bargain price?
