Tony Marinaro proposes a trade offer to bring Patrik Laine to Montreal
Tony Marinaro, who can be heard on BPM Sports, has a trade offer involving the Montreal Canadiens and the Columbus Blue Jackets for Patrik Laine.
As you know, the name of the 6-foot-5 Finnish forward has been linked to Montreal very frequently in recent weeks, and now we have a better idea of the price to pay.
General Manager Don Waddell would like to receive "a player to insert into his lineup" in exchange for Laine.
This is where Marinaro's proposed offer becomes interesting.
A trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the Columbus Blue Jackets involving Patrik Laine and Josh Anderson?
Laine, who requested a trade from the Jackets, has officially left the NHL player assistance program, so we must absolutely expect an imminent transaction in his case.
Several well-informed journalists believe that it would be between the Montreal Canadiens, the Anaheim Ducks, the Buffalo Sabres, and possibly the Pittsburgh Penguins (for his acquisition).
In short, knowing all this, the excellent Tony Marinaro raised the following offer on his podcast.
MONTREAL gives: Josh Anderson
A concrete proposal.
And you, would you accept such a transaction?
We know that the Blue Jackets have always adored Anderson, and we also know that, just like Patrik Laine, the number 17 of the Montreal Canadiens could really benefit from a fresh start elsewhere.
It wouldn't be the first time two teams have exchanged two players, with the goal of revitalizing them in a new system of play and a new environment.
Laine, 26, is a 6-foot-5, 215-pound forward who is a natural scorer with enormous offensive potential.
He earns 8.7 million per year until 2026.
Anderson, 30, is a 6-foot-3, 224-pound forward who is a fast skater and a power forward who can really shine in the playoffs.
He earns 5.5 million per year until 2027.
We are really looking forward to knowing the outcome of this matter, and to finding out where Laine will finally be traded.
