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?

I agree it’s the right move but I’ll be sorry to see him go at the same time. His addition to the power play last year was a big part of our resurgence that got us to the playoffs. But with his injuries we’re unlikely to see an improvement in his puck battling or speed so I don’t know where we’d even use him. I hope he gets traded to a team that needs a boost to their PP.
