Patrik Laine traded by the start of the season: Frank Seravalli doesn’t believe it

[content-ads] In his commentary, Seravalli mentions that we’ll have to wait and see Laine’s production at the start of the season to come to a certain conclusion. He doesn’t close the door on a possible transaction… but we also understand that he doesn’t necessarily believe that the player will automatically change address too.

In reality, the Canadiens may not be able to afford to trade Laine at the moment. The player in question – who is one of the NHL’s top goal scorers – fills a need in Montreal: he helps the Habs offensively and plays an important role on the powerplay.Without his 15 powerplay goals last season, the Habs probably wouldn’t have made the playoffs… Right now, the Canadiens must be able to take advantage of him in the final year of his contract. Laine will be as free as a bird next summer if he doesn’t sign a new deal by July 1, 2026, and before making a decision, we need to see what he’s got… for real. Because let’s not forget: in 24-25, Laine wasn’t at the top of his game. He missed some games, he decided not to have knee surgery after his training camp injury… and we felt he struggled at times during the last campaign. If he’s fit next season, that could change a few things. And that’s why, in my eyes, we’ve got to give him another chance to shine. [spacer title=’Overtime’] – Wow.

– A line really…. interesting.
