Commandant Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Wooo that's an awesome.deal. Harris is all.we give up and we get a 2nd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I read it wrong and thought that we gave up the second. It will be an early second rounder and it opens a spot for a young Dman to make the roster. Home run deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meller93 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Woooah! Now that is a home run swing! This is the kind of risk you love to see. The risk of course being Laine's 8.7 million cap hit. BUT, the is the last year of the contract if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan89 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Man under Marty Laine could get back to his old scoring self. This is the management team I have been waiting for so long. Montreal will be a scary team in 2-3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With full retention the cost was never going to be great. How many other teams could take on the full amount? Hughes decided to use the cap space in this manner and next year just got a whole lot more interesting. Stay healthy Patrick and Kirby!!! We might have a 2nd line.

sbhatt Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Feels like a steal if Laine is even halfway good for us. Rid ourselves of a low end D prospect and got a 2nd round draft pick in return as well...that's a nice piece of GM work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illWill Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Amazing deal for the Habs. We clear out some of the log jam on D and also fill a much needed spot in the top 6. It's a high cap hit, but we have plenty of space and it doesn't hinder anything too important in the near future. We can either resign him, trade him at the deadline next year, or just let him walk to free agency. I fully trust Hughes in each of those scenarios. Man this team is going to be fun to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a swing for the fences but sometimes you have to take that swing. You can't be conservative all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be conservative all the time. Absolutely. They have done their homework and they believe this is a risk worth taking, similar to Monahan, Dach and Newhook.
