Patrik Laine is a skilled goal scorer, but also an enigmatic player at times. The Blue Jackets are reportedly willing to trade him, and the Canadiens could take advantage.
The Tricolore is clearly looking to add talent to their offensive lineup. While the Finn may not always show the highest level of commitment every night, Martin St-Louis might find a way to get him to produce.
According to McCagg, Laine's profile is intriguing for Kent Hughes, and his current situation may not value him as highly. While Laine has had three seasons of 30 goals or more, they date back to his time with the Jets.
