It's very exciting to have acquired Patrik Laine, but it's also very sad to have lost Jordan Harris, and Renaud Lavoie confirms the rumors about him.
Indeed, the young defenseman is leaving on a high note, having left a very positive impression in Montreal. Despite his great kindness, leadership, and on-ice skills, he fell victim to the depth of left-handed defensemen in the organization.
In fact, Jordan Harris was linked to several trade rumors in recent months, even during the latest trade deadline. According to Renaud Lavoie, these rumors were well-founded, as he was definitely on the market.
"It is clear that Jordan Harris had limited future prospects with the Canadiens (due to the large number of left-handed defensemen) and he had been on the trade market for quite some time."

It's not a huge surprise, but it highlights the work that goes into making a trade for a general manager like Kent Hughes.
With a return like Patrik Laine and a second-round pick, it can be said that the Canadiens' GM got a very good return on investment in this trade.
He was patient, and it ultimately paid off. If Kent Hughes had been less patient, he would certainly have received less in return. Personally, I would have been content with just a second-round pick.
When we say that the GM is the ideal candidate to effectively carry out the Canadiens' rebuild, it can no longer be denied.
