Things have just become very interesting between Patrik Laine and the Montreal Canadiens.
Recall that Columbus Blue Jackets GM Don Waddell recently mentioned that he is in contact with a few teams to finalize a trade involving Laine, who has requested a trade.
He also added that what might really unblock this situation is when Laine is no longer in the assistance program.
On this subject, we have a last-minute development.
Patrik Laine is back on the ice, and things are getting very interesting
Knowing that Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens are interested in acquiring Laine through a trade, the news that he is back training will definitely make this situation very intriguing in the coming days and weeks.
It is likely to get very active.
«Patrik Laine has officially resumed training for the upcoming season, which suggests he could soon receive medical clearance and thus leave the assistance program. Needless to say, when this happens, and teams can talk with the forward, the chances of a trade materializing will be much higher.»
- Cédrick Gervais
So, don't be surprised if things start moving quickly regarding Patrik Laine in the next few hours.
Laine, 6 feet 5 inches and 215 pounds, has immense potential and could truly become a major asset for Martin St-Louis.
