In the past few hours, we hadn't mentioned it, but there were numerous whispers that the new Canadiens forward, the talented Patrik Laine, might have «someone in charge of following him» almost all the time to better support him.
On this subject, the RDS journalist has just clarified the situation.
Earlier today on BPM Sports, Gélinas mentioned this:
The message is quite clear.
And anyway, I don't see why it would be necessary.
Patrik Laine leads a quiet life with his fiancée, he has worked very hard on himself over the past year, and he simply wants to come here to play great hockey. That's all.
Let Patrik Laine know that there will always be someone to help him if needed, absolutely!
Imposing someone on Patrik Laine to follow him around, absolutely not! That would be truly exaggerated.
Moreover, I really don't believe it's Kent Hughes' and Jeff Gorton's style to make such decisions.
It's unfortunate that Patrik Laine was traded in August, because there aren't many other topics to cover with the Montreal Canadiens at the moment, but I just can't wait for us to let him do his thing and wow us on the ice.
