The Montreal Canadiens forward, Patrik Laine, may have just given us a major hint about his future here.
As we reported in the past few hours, Patrik Laine and his fiancée have decided to spend the entire summer in Montreal and settle here for good.
I don’t know what was said in the end-of-season meeting between Laine and Kent Hughes, but everything points to it having convinced the big Finnish winger.
We can forget the Patrik Laine departure rumors
In recent weeks, ever since the Canadiens were eliminated, many observers and experts have speculated about the possibility of Laine being traded or even bought out.
Of course, anything is always possible in the National Hockey League, but the fact that Laine is spending the entire summer in Montreal gives you a serious clue about what Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton told him.
Clearly, he’s part of the plan!
We recommend reading the full article from TVA Sports.
Patrik Laine will spend the summer in Montreal.
Let’s also recall that in his most recent press conference, Kent Hughes openly stated that the Canadiens wouldn’t have made the playoffs without Laine.
That already said a lot!
By saying he’ll be spending the summer in Montreal and settling here permanently, Laine has indeed given a strong hint about his future with the Canadiens.
Don’t expect to see him leave anytime soon.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what he can do, fully healthy and with a complete summer of preparation.
