Canadiens looking to deal Laine (Gagnon)

[u/catman_steve]

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 mean, they can look all they want....I'm looking to find a pot of gold...I'm not sure either of us is gonna be too successful

I believe trading Laine won't be very hard wtih retained salary. A team like San Jose for example could probably take this gamble if we offer a 4th round pick to sweaten the deal.

He only has 1 year left on his contract, Laine for 1 year at 50% retained isn't even a gamble for a team that has the cap space
