We were eager to hear from the Canadiens' coach about his new star player, Patrik Laine, and we finally got the chance during his morning media availability.

At the Canadiens' golf tournament, Martin St-Louis addressed questions from reporters, and of course, he was asked about the Finnish player.

It didn't take long for the coach to reassure everyone, confirming that he plans to let Laine have fun on the ice. Given what Patrik Laine has been through, he needs to enjoy playing hockey, and that's how he will be most productive.

Martin St-Louis spends a lot of one-on-one time with his players and has a personalized approach for each of them. His approach with Laine will focus on making his time at the rink enjoyable.

This strategy could be very beneficial for the team. When Patrik Laine plays hockey, he plays intensely and has proven he can score a point per game.

Additionally, Patrik Laine will be in the top 6 and on the power play, which will further boost his production. He has tremendous talent, so if he can be happy in Montreal, it will be very advantageous.

The chances are good that he will play with Kirby Dach, as the line of Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki, and Juraj Slafkovsky seems untouchable.

Training camp starts in the coming days, but for now, it's time for the golf tournament!
