A major development has occurred in the case involving Patrik Laine. He is now officially available for all NHL teams.

The Blue Jackets have also informed interested teams to reach out to Patrik Laine's representatives. It's clear that the Jackets are looking to trade him.

The Canadiens have frequently been mentioned as a potential destination for Laine. According to sources, the Jackets are willing to let him go in exchange for a draft pick and a promising prospect.

The Canadiens and Kent Hughes clearly have what Don Waddell is asking for. We'll see if a deal can be finalized...

"Good news for Patrik Laine: he is cleared to return from the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program. He is happy to see that he is feeling better.

Laine is still recovering from shoulder surgery. Regarding his future in the NHL, teams interested in acquiring him have been informed that they are free to contact Laine. This is the next step before he and the Blue Jackets decide on what happens next.»
