So no one is gonna talk about the : «Everybody grab a toilet and sit down»? Best opening line.
Reading this as I’m on the toilet 😂
Honestly I was as excited about the video you were going to make as the exchange itself. Sweet time to be Habs fan.
Will someone please be this dudes friend?
I was too
Just like in Columbus, the guys a huge flop!
Mea Culpa, I was very much against Laine coming here. BECAUSE I thought the price would be too high. But what a move by Hughes. Low risk, high reward! Welcome home Laine
Same here.
Same. Steal for low risk
Same here but my concern was attitude. Someone who’s quit on two teams is a concern for me but if Hughes, Gorton and St Louis are good with where his mind is, then I’m onboard…
Same. + if it doesn't pan out, there's only two years left on his contract.
@@user-wx8cv1zu6dI don't think he quit on Winnipeg. Wheeler and the Coward Mark Schefile treated him like shit apparently.
Laine is a Hab, season can now start 🎉
I don't really get the hoopla about Laine. I understood it when he was drafted and for the first few seasons but isn't he kind of a bust? Isn't he basically like a Pierre Luc-Dubois maybe combined with a little Mitch Marner? A super talented player that is up and down. Can't be consistent. Gets super lazy. Doesn't have an interest in playing a defensive game. Fades away when the going gets tough. And puts way to much attention on his own ego and image? I'm not even trying to troll. Didn't I just describe why he was traded from Winnipeg and described his entire stint in Columbus?
@@esperago yeah he struggled but the dude is only 26. now its a complete change of scenery and he wants to play here. he also has a 2 year contract so its not much of a risk even at 8M. if he does good we get a 40 goal scorer that's happy to play here and we can lock him up for our top 6. if he fails then we let him walk in 2 years.
@@esperagoHe said in his interview that he is entirely focused on winning a cup, and I think he's probably a much more mature person after his experience in the PA program and getting his desired reset. I understand why not to be fully convinced but I'm optimistic.
Imagine Laine having his career recharged, in part due to the dressing room positivity with players such as CC and Slaf.
He’s a plug and a has been
Haven't been THIS excited as a habs fan in quite a few years!
Not gonna lie , that Gorton/Hughes tandem is totally blowing me away. Haven't seen Habs management being so competent for a loooonnnggggg time. The pieces are falling together so strap on your seatbelts cuz we're gonna have a wild ride. Cup # 25 is on the horizon ....max 3 yrs. Go Habs Go!!!! I watched the Laine interview and he is exuding confidence and self assurance. Happy for him and happy for Habs fans.
There's one very intriguing thing about his career stats that is worth noticing:
- In Winnipeg he was scoring a ton of PP goals, but not achieving that much on even strength. The Jets had a killer power play in those seasons, but could not get him a true top6 center for even strength as Scheifele was glued to Wheeler for the most part.
- In Columbus, he scored well on even strength, but didn't do much on the power play. The Blue Jackets had an abysmal power play and realistically didn't have a single true top6 center in the roster.
So while on a cursory glance it might look like his game regressed in Columbus based on the stats, in truth he has taken huge steps in becoming a more complete player on even strength despite playing with somewhat mediocre linemates and defensemen for the most part. And on top of that, there is still quite a lot of untapped potential for power play scoring provided that the Habs can utilize him better than the team with arguably the worst coached power play in the entire league over the past half a dozen years.
I agree, feed him and he'll bury it! He just needs to play with the right players. Excited to see if this pans out for him and MTL. He was a lot of fun on the Jets ;-)
That is all he is a PP specialist and little more. He has been a defensive liability his whole career, even in Winnipeg where he had a lot of support. He couldn't handle the pressure there so how everyone thinks he can in Montreal I don't quite understand. I don't consider - 57 over the last 5 seasons a complete player. So while producing 141 points in the last 5 years he has been on the ice for 198 goals against. Will he help win a few games sure but how many will he cost them in return simply because he doesn't care to be defensively responsible?
@@timkitchen692 Dawg he's in Columbus who the fuck has a good +/- in that shithole?
@@timkitchen692 He is obviously no defensive powerhouse, but contrary to popular belief he is perfectly adequate defensively and also about as responsible as you'd expect from a winger.
If he can just stay healthy, a lot of people will be surprised to see how much he has improved his all around game since the Winnipeg days.
Great 😮thanks u😊
If we just traded Harris, we would be lucky to get a 2nd round pick, the fact that we got Laine too, is just insane, and worst case Ontario, he sucks, and doesnt work out, it's 2 years, when his contract is up, so are a ton of other bad contracts, I love the trade!!!
The 2nd was Columbus avoiding retaining salary
all gd. thx 4 worst-case Ontario, as I endured tons of them today. They're content with reg-season parades via Toronto Sports Networks.
Worst Case Ontario..
Brilliant. A keeper.
Was that spellcheck??
"Worse case Ontario" is a "Ricky-ism" from The Trailer Park Boys. There's a bunch of them. I hated the show, but I'm a big fan of Ricky-isms.
The Habs were able to move a defenceman AND bring in a goal scorer. They got "two birds stoned at once".
Nice Ricky-ism!
I was so pumped when I seen the reports of this trade. Can you imagine next year having a 2nd line of the Demigod, Dach and Laine.. 🔥
Laine should be able to score alot of goals with excellent passers like Dach and Demidov. The future is exciting !
@@Gabes_P99 It sure is!
I was trying to imagine a line for him. I didn’t think of that one. That sounds amazing
Is Demidovv already NHL ready?? WIll be sick either way
@@justinrobert9928 With his incredible skill set and his ceiling, I bet he comes over to the team next year after this year of development.
Not sure if I'm more exited about this trade or about Junkie's continuous and hilarious descriptions of Habs news! As a Quebecer who lived in Gander for a year, listening to this channel is music to my ears. I'll admit, I'm so confident of the content that I even press the thumbs up before the video starts, lol. But as for Laine, I think the current management and young optimistic team will do wonder for Laine! Welcome to Mtl, poutine is on me!!!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE GOT HIM !!!
Apprend à écrire criss de retardé.
@@studio54studio NERDDDDDDDDDDD! (nah im kidding)
@@micswithareal😂😂😂
@@studio54studio im gps tabarnack leave me alone
I watch his interview today he looks and sounds like his ready to go hope it works out let’s get the season going I’m so pumped
He looked baked! But happy!
@@toddlauretteHabsforlife hahaha so true I just thought he was tired from morning workout
I think Harris is underestimated. 24yo reliable d-man who puts up about 20pts playing limited minutes. He was never going to be top 4. As 6th defensemen go, he was pretty good and I'm sure he'll do well in Columbus or elsewhere. Ultimately, Habs went with Struble's physical play over Harris' slight advantage in points. I get it, someone had to go and Harris was the odd man out. We need physical players.
Don't get me wrong, the trade is a landslide. Over the last 30 years, all we got was excuse after excuse from Habs GMs. Yet Hughes keep getting it done. Over and over...
Yeah but columbus want Harris for that reason , for me the price for laine can be more higher and in this we have a 2 round pick 😂 good trade for avery body in this trade
maybe Colombus preferred Harris to Storable
Absolutely. I'm sure they like him a lot. He's just entering his prime. At best he might flirt with 30 points and be that versatile d-man that can fill in on the top-4 over small stretches. I'm just bummed over some comments I'm reading online, talking like Harris is worthless. I even read someone say Columbus traded one locker room cancer for another!? WTF?? Just wild... @@RapaceQc78
Harris is a bum
@@jordanhogan6511 lol
Was waiting for your wisdom
Nice screenshot on Laine there at the end 😂.
Aside from that, im super excited. Hope it works out.
GHG
He fits the profile of the player the Habs needed: a big boy pure scorer with a bit of experience. I really hope he pans out. My question is who else do the Habs need to draft? The team is feeling pretty complete right now, here's to hoping that Fowler or even Primeau pan out into elite goalies.
Only a 2 year deal. Laine plays with the Habs next season. Laine plays up until the trade deadline the following season. The Habs trade his goal scoring playoff potential at the deadline and cash in big time. Nice trade, it's basically a rental to fill a hole in goals with huge upside. Genius.
that, or we keep him if he fits well, resigning him to smth more reasonable. He theoretically would play great with dach and demigod
@@gamingczar5710 We'll see. Good luck resurrecting his career. He was an awesome rookie. Watched it all on NHL On The Fly.
I think Laine will love playing in Montreal. The fans have to go easy on him and allow him to find his game and passion he once had. He is playing for one of the greatest franchises in sports history! I’m so excited for the upcoming season.
hope so, if any market is easy on their players it is the Columbus fans.
i Cant wait for the season to start. WE have so much up swing its going to be a fantastic ride. Games are going to be fun to watch. Cant wait, oh i said that already!!! GO Habs GO !!!!!!!!!!!
Been waiting for this reaction since this trade news dropped earlier today.
Man, if this pans out....isnt Laine a perfect fit for Demidov's game?!?! Exciting times!!
Great trade from Hughes who we trust! Harris is a great character guy and mobile, but we had so many D as you mentioned. This is not just a home run, but a grand slam! Great videos junkie, keep em up!
It's Habbening!!!
Huge hugh steal! Ghg!! Hold those jam jams up!!!!
Habs are going to suprise some people this year....all coming together nicely! Armia will have a BIG year.
If Laine could hit 40 goals, and caufield does too, that's the first time in 44 years that we've had multiple 40 goal scorers.
Thats not happening whatsoever🤣🤣🤣
Was that Richer/Naslund? My childhood heroes, I had a #44 Habs Pyjama and my brother had the #26.
Getting late 80s Canadiens stats again would be great!
Well that's not happening lmao but good luck in year 45

Wooo hooo!!! NOW im excited!!! I dont know if u remember, but like 3 or 4 days ago i said this is the first off season i haven't been excited for the season to start, well scratch that!! NOW im excited!!!
Even before this i was excited. We have a good team even without Laine
One more player coming soon!

Thank GOD they let us into those negotiations last week eh?!?! 😁
The man needed out of columbus and im glad we get to cheer him back to success 🎉
Therrrre we go! Was waiting for dis!
Nice to see him go from a red white and blue jersey, to a red white and blue jersey, now to a bleu blanc et rouge jersey
I had strong doubts. Now, I'd like to see it work out.
I think this is HUGE. Great move
Laine was one of the ones I was pretty much against acquiring NGL. Him and PLD among a couple of others. There's nothing I hate worse than a player who stops playing because he'a unhappy where he is. Dude is making almost 10 Mil a year FFS. Put a smile on your face and play your damn heart out UNTIL you get the trade you so desperately want. That's the attitude I like to see. Very rare though.
But after watching the interview and hearing the stats and contract situation, and also the price we paid to get him, it's a really good chance to take on the guy. As you said, it's 2 years. If it doesn't work out, it won't be a huge albatross around their neck for 6 years or so. And giving up ONE single defenseman is win win because it makes much needed space!
So I guess you could put me in the HAPPY column about this one.
I think the real reason for his "stops playing" was the loss of his father, his mentor and his best friend, much more than being unhappy where he is. He never really got over it. He probably worsened the situation by using alcohol and other substances to dull the pain. Last year, probably realizing he wasn't going anywhere, he enrolled in the NHLPA program. Columbus was too closely associated in his mind with that pain and I understand his desire to make a fresh start elsewhere.
I'm not leaving you a like because of the Habs or Laine, im not a Habs fan, but im a Devils fan. I'm leaving you a like because of you good sir👍 always entertaining and always informative.
good stuff, very happy. i bet that 2nd round pick turns into more gold
I wouldn't be surprised if that pick ended up being used to move Anderson or Gallagher in their final year of contract.
@@blablabla1000able kent hughes has a long history of paying other teams to dump contracts?
i think well always get value. kent & co understand value, and have patience.
@@iamwonderFil it hasn't made sense for Hughes to pay to dump contracts so far, but at some point they will need to flip the switch. Unless Anderson or Gallagher play a career year soon we're not getting value for them.
@blablabla1000able I think both Gallagher and Anderson have good years. Less pressure on the 3rd line matchups
This is exactly what we need! (Potentially), a near point a game player with potential to score 30 plus goals a season, on a line other than our first line, this is potentially awesome
He's a big young kid who can put the puck in the net. a very good trade in my opinion, the Habs even got a 2nd round pick!
I was waiting for this video to drop. I'm hoping Laine can make something happen in Montreal.
SO STOKED
Laine with Dach and Newhook vs Leafs October 9th?
Merry Christmas Kirby Dach!
It's unbelievable that he's a Habs so excited to see him on the ice
Well, I guess I better pay my Sportsnet bill
Excellent process by Kent and the team.
We have Mario Armia and Now we Have Luigi Laine.
really exciting potential! he hang with Armia, get a handle on things, maybe even work with his performance coach.
If we can manage to get even half decent goaltending this season, the wild card is back on the menu. But right now with two backups, Hughes might need to work a little more magic next summer to bring in a starter so we can really be ready to make a push when Demidov comes to town.
You gotta like what Hughs is trying to do here. Gave up a young D but we got 3 chomping at the bit to get on the big team this year and Laine has talent. Whether his head is in the right spot remains to be seen. It's a hefty contract but I don't think the Habs will need to be adding pieces at the deadline for a few years yet.
wow the canadiens completely won that trade plus they can draft a defenseman ( if necessary) of same caliber with that 2nd round pick plus you potentially have a 40 goals scorer of course if healthy W and wtf colombus?
I love that trade. The Habs have lots of young d- man so they could afford to trade one. Even if Laine doesn't work out it's not a big deal.
I told you Laine was going to Montreal 2 weeks ago. The Habs just became very dangerous.
I was hesitant about getting Laine for the Habs, but (salary cap aside), was a great deal. Sad to see Harris go, but this may open a spot for Hutson or someone else. Hopefully, Laine can return to game shape and help the team. 👍
Cant wait to watch em all play. Lets Gooo!
Very fitting, we were the perfect team for this trade at this moment, still looks like a low risk high reward potential. GHG 🎉
It looks like a bit like the trade Gordon made while he was with the Rangers. Zibanejad vs Brassard seem like a complete steal
Same here been waiting for this video 😂 well done mate!!!!!
Was waiting for this.
Great move, even if they flip Laine for a 1st round pick at deadline or something. That's great asset management.
Hope this goes as well as it did for monahan…. Junkie, youre still the best with da edits my man ❤
Happy Hurricane Junkie 😉
BRING ON ERNESTO BABY!!
@@HockeyJunkie Ah ah ah.
I think I love Kent Hughes.
I m cautiously optimistic. I wasnt for Laine trade had his value been higher. I liked Harris but knew Harris and Barron would be the 2 probably be the first 2 to go . And i think clb picked who they preferred of the choices. So seeing how little we had to give up ,i think its low risk high reward. Nothing to lose. So if it works out awrsome it has the potential. If it doesnt they unload him towards contract end. We dont lose much . Its a smart chance. So in that regard its a smart move for habs in that they get a top six player who can score and if he finds his footing this will be awesome . If it doesnt we didnt lose much, cause either we we have to unload a couple of d men to make room. I m cautious ,butkind happy with giving this a chance cause we basically got him so cheap. So way to go Hughs . And if it works wow ,this could really turn into something .It s really up to Laine to make it work. This could turn into a steal. And if it doesnt we didnt gi e up the farm for him. Were fortunate that this trade habs had upper hand dur to hiz value dropping. My excitement is if it works what a steal . We know he has the talent. And the habs system maybe exactly what he needs to find his game. And if he does this is going to be quite a steal. Its worth the risk since we got for so little . Either way its a trade i can live with . He will add the scoring we need . He has a wicked shot . This is a very interesting trade. Even though i m cautious ,the what if s are exciting. I knew their would be a trade before opening game . I ve been saying it since after draft. I knew Hughs was going to try and keep his promise . Hes a much better fit for second line than Anderson. No matter what he is rralky a top six player ,that we know . So i can say that much. Hes definitely a better fit for top six than our bottom six players. So im cautiously optimistic on this trade. I m at peace with it because worse case senario , it doesnt work out we didnt give up alot . So i m happy with it in the end . He has more upside than the Drouin trade. Go habs go .
This could be amazing for the Habs.
In case anyone was wondering, the last time a Montreal Canadien scored 40 goals was in 1994, and now they have 3 different guys who could reach that plateau.
very interesting also, glad Harris might get a team to play cause i couldn't see him suiting of for the habs in the next 5 years.
Love the trade just can’t believe how cheap, I was saying it would be Barron and Harris.
Sets the McGroarty trade value, so Barron and the 2nd we got from Columbus?!
Laine will bring the cup. Mark my words. He will florish ❤
I’ve come to a point where I hear habs news and it’s not Eric Engels, or tsn, sportsnet or whoever I wanna hear about this news and their take on it. It’s junkies take lol. That’s the biggest take I care about 😂.
I'm pumped, Harris had to go anyway, so to get a 2nd round pick was already a win.
I predict Lanine scores 30 + 🔥
I think it's a good a trade for the Habs.
Positive:
The guy is a pure goal scorer. Something the Habs desperately need.
It actually improves their cap situation as they will be able to realize more cap relief when Price goes on the IR.
There was a backlog of d-men on the left side. This frees up space for Hutson
They received a 2nd rd pick, which could be pretty high considering how Columbus is going,
He gives them much needed size and physically up front.
Negative:
The guy is coming off a shoulder injury and mental health issues, so there's huge question marks.
When he was scoring goals, he was still a bit of a liability on D.
Just Subscribed. Montreal now needs to build a third line. Going to be a fun season
Why? It's coming
Roy-Hage/Beck- Newhook
Good trade. Happy to see Laine.
Let the season start. I can’t wait. It’s been a long summer!
Junk - you gotta get the clip of him running the football drill going plzzz 😂
Low to mid level risk, high reward. That's already a win. Habs had too many Ds. Harris was the player I expected moved. Win. They got a second round pick thrown in. Win. What's not to like? I trust Gorton and Hughes too. Bring on the season!
Wow
Demidov, Slaf, Suzuki, Caufield, Laoine, Dach
Top 6 set?
I simply can't wait to watch this team this season
Everybody bust out those dollar bills and roll em up, we gon skiing ❄️❄️❄️Wooo🤘
Love it !!!
From far away the Habs look like they are in a similar position as the jets were when he was drafted. A handful of forgotten vets and some young bucks who have yet to show their full potential, of course Montreal doesn’t have the same negatives as Winnipeg once did. Those being the toxic dressing room and depressing city. I’m really hoping to see this guy succeed. I remember a time where us jets fans were almost sure that we had gotten lucky by drafting liane instead of Matthew’s. It’s gotta be hard sitting in the shadow of the superstar you were drafted behind. And for that, I’m gonna scoop him up in fantasy a round or two earlier than what would be expected.
I'll say it's an exciting gamble. Let's see if it pays off. Not after 3 games, but mid season at least.
He might even help our favorite J. Anderson to wake up! :p
The subscribers count is getting good bro, keep up the good work. 50k subscribers next
What a fleece job. In Gorton-Kent we trust.
Dach,Slaf,and Laine, 😂just try and move us in front of the net, God Damm Mountain Men,O Yes , And Skilled.GHG.
If Columbus can actually find good players to spend their cap space on now, this does feel like a win-win. The Habs can experiment with someone to better use Caulfield and Suzuki's primes while they figure out how to exit the rebuild and the Blue Jackets... well, they got a couple mil to try and do the same.
Jets fan opinion. Laine has a top 3 shot in the league. Enjoy it. He is a little soft so shelter him on the 2nd line and give him first unit powerplay. Dont get your expectations to high expect 30 goals and be happy when he his 40 he plays better when he is confident so pump his tires by setting a low bar
I think MTL is gonna have another good flip next year with Liane. Like they did with Monahan
Laine 2nd pick 2016, Suzuki 13th pick 2017, Dach 3rd Coufield 15th 2019, Slaf 1st 2022. Are they able to fight for play off spot? what do you think?
the only downside of this trade, i feel is the cap hit. Either than that, its another W for the Habs. depth scoring, was an issue and hopefuly he helps solve that issue. Im not expecting 40 big ones out of the gate, but with the amount of games we lost by 1 goal, i feel this season is a step in the right direction. Another small step up the mountain. Go habs Go! Patty L welcome to habsville
I understand what you mean, but because it is such a short term, it's OK .
Remember, Gallagher & Anderson are a year longer
Sweet
I had not realized his contract had only 2 years left.
No risk whatsoever. Harris is going to have a career in the NHL no doubt, but we have like 4 too many defensemen who also could.
I was literally on the toilet this morning and he said that 😅
I’m excited. Can’t wait for the season to start
Montreal is now the country of Lane and Laine
Winnipeg had a very toxic dressing room, Columbus isn't a hockey market - he knows where Saku Koivu played - all Finnish hockey players do.... I think this will work out just fine ....
Laine will be a GREAT FIT ! Montreal plays the perfect system for his style. Montreal is very European and Laine will love it ! I predict an okay first season and then 50 goals in season two. This is BIG
I'm sad to see Harris go, the 2nd round pick helps considering that there is no retained salary whatsoever on Laine's contract. Now, I'm happy to see Laine join the Habs, there are quite a few combinaisons that could be interesting with him on the roster. Do we want Newhook on the second line or as a third centreman? I'm curious to see what are the organization's intentions for a guy like Joshua Roy........and there are players like Owen Beck, Michael Hage, Alex Barré Boulet, Florian Xhekaj (okay not a centerman, but maybe we want that kid on our third or fourth line as soon as this season or the following one) ...Somehow, I'm hoping that this will take a bit of pressure off Demidov's arrival with the team....I expect great things from hime, but if we already have legitimate top 6 players and a bunch of interesting candidates for an offensive 3rd line, maybe Demidov will be able to take all the time he needs to learn what he has to learn and gain all the confidence he needs to gain in order to become the player we hope he'll become.
Yes yes yes
