How should I feel?
so…. nobody wanted that contract
Looks like we retain no salary, thankfully
I have read from Habs fans that Harris is a pretty solid defenseman.
This is telling me that Waddell really wanted Laine out of this locker room though.
Dogshit trade up front, but we retained no salary
Laine really raked us I’ve the coals and this return shows it. It’s almost a guarantee he’s going to get back to his normal self now too. This whole ordeal just leaves a nasty taste in your mouth type of feeling.
What a nothing trade.
Mainly mad I got my Laine jersey autographed on the numbers lol
Wow.
I just randomly opened twitter and saw that and did a double take.
Just like that.
So are the opening day LHD now going to be Werenski, Provorov, and Harris? (Assuming Jack Johnson is the 7th Dman)
I would really like to go a few years without having to deal with a star player wanting out at all costs.
Best of luck to Liane but at this point it’s more of a good riddance from me.
Garbage return but idk what don was really supposed to do here. That’s now two times Laine hasn’t “fit” into an organization. Not sure how he’s going to handle the bright lights of Montreal and their media but best of luck I guess.
No retention, which is why we got basically negative value for him. Waddell was in a tough spot so it makes sense, but still that sucks lol
I will admit I’m glad Laine is gone. I was skeptical of him when we initially got him but he definitely grew on me after a while. Sucks that we couldn’t put a competent enough team around him during his time and he had all the mental struggles and I’m happy for him that he’s getting another fresh start. Wondering if we’re gonna be making any last minute moves on defense now that we acquired Harris.
Sucks that it ends this way but thank fucking god this didn’t drag into camp
Awful trade, but is is what it is.
Good luck Patrik.
No salary retained is huge. Harris is cool. Just wish Laine would’ve given it a *try* with a whole new look staff behind em but i guess I get it
Added bonus is Dubois has to watch the guy we traded him for getting to wear the Habs sweater first
Now do Elvis
Jordan Harris is future captain material
Politically: I understand Laine went through some serious stuff. And I wish him all the best in his days to come.
Selfishly: I could’t be more thrilled to be rid of the drama and retain no salary. We didn’t get much in return … but damn don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Moving on.
Cut the cancer
So, quite literally a « get this dude the fuck out of here at any cost » trade. I don’t like it, but it’s better than having him in the room.
Won’t miss him
These brain rotting mummies on Twitter immediately “YaLl GoT fLeEcEd”.
This was a win in my book tbh.
$8.7 million cleared up with a alleged decent bottom 6 D-man?
I’ll take that over 40 games a season and a lack of interest of playing here.
Forward we go!
Nice birthday present for Waddell. No retention is huge and not beginning a new chapter with a malcontent in the room was a must. Best wishes to Patty, but this is a very good outcome for CBJ.
Montreal is dancing around we got fleeced but its a high risk/high reward on their end. Considering what cards we are dealt seemed like we treated this as a cap dump trade and got back a defensive leaning dman on the right side which we badly need right now (Probably be our LHD3 at the start of the season) and a good kid personality wise.
Basically we got hosed to clean up the locker room…take that as you will be seems like Waddell has a plan here and these are just the growing pains to get people who want to be part of the solution here.
That being said that fanbase is going to eat him alive if he doesn’t perform…
I just hope he doesn’t get destroyed by the media crucible of Montreal. It’s gonna be a lot worse than a couple of chud podcasters with 12 listeners being edgelords.
Wonder if the reason why Waddell was so insistent on not retaining salary is because he wants to weaponize cap space at the deadline.
Perhaps maybe moving all of Laine’s contract allows us to find a taker on Elvis with retained salary. Idk, just guessing. There’s some pretty big names in the UFA class for 2025 and some possible big deadline deals.
