Cheap shot for Daniel Brière and the Flyers: Kent Hughes and the Canadiens took advantage with Patrik Laine
Two weeks ago, Kent Hughes acquired Patrik Laine and a second-round pick in exchange for defenseman Jordan Harris.
It's a deal that favors the Canadiens, given that the defenseman was no longer part of the team's plans. Even if Patrik Laine doesn't return to his former self, the second-round pick alone makes the trade worthwhile.
Patrik Laine trade: A low blow for Daniel Brière and the Flyers
According to Maxime Truman's report, Daniel Brière had Patrik Laine within reach, as a trade had been agreed upon between the Flyers and the Blue Jackets.
Patrik Laine was set to go to Philadelphia in exchange for Ryan Johansen's contract, but Laine, who had the Flyers on his no-trade list, refused to waive his clause.
This allowed Kent Hughes to acquire Laine and a second-round pick in exchange for Jordan Harris.

Poor Daniel Brière, whose early career as general manager has been far from smooth. He's dealing with failed trades and losing his top goalie (Carter Hart) due to a scandal, and he's facing his share of challenges.
