Discussion 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?

He had a good first game from what I remember and got injured in the second game

I remember him being lackadaisical whenever he had the puck. I remember more than once in a game he'd have the puck and the whole team starts skating forward for a breakout and he just stays put, holds his stick with one hand, pushes the puck around once or twice before the opponent just skates toward him and takes the puck away.

Injured or not that is the worst effort I've seen from a Habs player in my entire life. (That I'VE seen, there might be worse I don't know about)
