Patrik Laine still finds himself at the heart of certain transaction rumors. The forward could have an interesting profile for an organization like the Montreal Canadiens.
The Blue Jackets could be tempted to get rid of the Finn and try to mix up their offensive roster.
According to Marc-Antoine Godin and his colleague Arpon Basu in their podcast, Patrik Laine could be the kind of player the Canadian should target given his current value and what he could cost on the market.
He has only played 18 games this season due to injury. After having experienced seasons of 30 and 40 goals, a new start would be more than beneficial for the winger.
It would certainly be an interesting bet for Martin St-Louis and his troupe. The leaders mentioned it during the review and the fans know it too, the Canadian must add talent and depth in attack.
