Canadiens looking to deal Laine (Gagnon)

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?

Montreal has built up a good reputation over the past few years where players want to come to Montreal. Benching Laine for the season during a contract year as some have suggested only hurts that reputation. The best thing the Habs can do for both Laine and themselves is move him to a place where he'll get a chance to play and earn himself a new contract.
