According to reports, Patrik Laine is highly motivated to take on a new challenge in a major market.
The Finnish player had his best moments in the NHL while playing with the Winnipeg Jets.
He hopes to regain the production pace he had with the Jets. Although his time with the Blue Jackets was challenging, Laine is now ready for this new chapter in his career.
Let's not forget he's only 26 years old. Patrik Laine will therefore arrive in Montreal soon to train before the start of camp.
