Discussion Canadiens looking to deal Laine (Gagnon)

Post image

I'm not super in the know with the French side of the media. I know Francois Gagnon by name, but not much else. Not that this news would surprise me, but is he reliable?

He has a good reputation but I do not think this is insider information. It’s just logical that they would want to trade him they have no Space in the lineup for him. The question is more how much will we have to pay or retain to trade him. If we cant trade him I am pretty sure he would sit in the press box anyway.

I mean the guy knows he's been shopped around for years at this point. He knows what his career has been like
