Patrik Laine and the Montreal Canadiens: Eric Engels confirms the rumor
There are many rumors from various sources about Patrik Laine and the Canadiens, but when it comes from Eric Engels, it becomes very credible.
Indeed, the Sportsnet journalist who covers the Canadiens daily has very good internal sources, and when he comments on a rumor, he is rarely wrong.
Right now, all eyes are on Patrik Laine, and it's understandable since he is officially on the market and his own GM admits he is trying to trade him at his request.
In short, it's no secret and as long as he isn't traded, there will be rumors. That's also normal, but the strong link to the Canadiens is surprising.
Kent Hughes likes good hockey players who are good individuals. Without taking anything away from Laine or implying anything, his reputation does not quite align with that.
According to Eric Engels, the Canadiens' interest is very minimal, so much so that he doesn't understand the rumors linking him to Montreal.
Therefore, Kent Hughes does not have much interest in the Finnish forward, which is understandable given the circumstances. The offer would have to be impossible to refuse.
I would love to have a top scorer like Laine with the Canadiens, but he is not known for being a hard worker, which is something Kent Hughes and Martin St-Louis fear.
