See what the former Canadiens player had to say on the matter today.

«If things don't turn around for Laine, could the Canadiens be tempted to buy out his contract this summer? Georges Laraque believes so!»

BPM Sports

«They're going to buy him out, that's it.

It's as simple as that, we're done talking about it. [...]

They tried something, I don't blame the Canadiens for giving it a shot, but now it's time to stop overthinking every game and next season with him (referring to Patrik Laine).»

«It's not happening that we put Demidov with this guy, it's not happening that Demidov learns from him.. Forget about it.

In my opinion, the Canadiens will buy him out, and he won't even start next season with the team.»

Georges Laraque

Do you agree with him?

Laine, 26, has 18 points in 26 games this season, including 12 goals.

He earns $8.7 million per year for the next two seasons.
