I just think it's rude to make the trade a few hours after I posted a blog.

Pretty psyched... we gave up a player that we didn't really need for a guy that has star potential.

Of course there's a chance he doesn't work out but still... very worth the risk.

I do agree with you take, even if am not that thrilled about Laine at this point

How about we stay with the guys still in the NHL

I mean I thought it was Harris + 2nd and I was happy

just realised we are the ones getting the 2nd

if you dont like this trade you are an imbecile, the cost is next to nothing

you have 2 years to evaluate him, if it doesnt work, let him go...

Its the thing that you can't get normally ( or very difficult) Size with Scoring

1000 % sure he was not traded ?

or sure its gonna work ?

To be clear I'm far from sure it will work in MTL, but its a beautiful risk to take and I'm glad they did

Then of course there plenty of risk, otherwise the price would have been MUCH more

Yeah! Raises expectations immediately but I like the high reward potential, and it’s very metigated risk

never said I didn't like the trade! they gave up nothing!
Harris for a 2nd is already a win in my book.
then there's Laine. I'm not the one paying him 9M per for 2 years, but I'm not expectiing much from him tbh.
