Forward Patrik Laine is off to an impressive start with the Montreal Canadiens. I have to admit, I was initially concerned about how he would perform due to the numerous injuries he’s faced in recent years, but it turns out my worries were unwarranted.
Despite high expectations, Laine has not only met but surpassed them. Canadiens fans are adoring him, and it’s evident that he has a strong affection for Montreal.
Did Patrik Laine just hint at his future with the Montreal Canadiens? In an interview following last night’s game against the Anaheim Ducks, he made some noteworthy comments.
It’s important to note that Laine’s contract expires at the end of next season, making him a free agent. Losing him would be a significant loss, but given his recent remarks, I’m feeling optimistic about his future with the Canadiens, and I believe Kent Hughes will likely negotiate a contract extension.
At 26 years old, Laine has already accumulated 4 points in 4 games this season, with three of those being goals, while earning $8.7 million annually.
Would you support Kent Hughes offering him a contract extension?
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that Laine’s fiancée, Jordan Leigh, has recently begun taking French lessons, signaling their commitment to the city.
This is a developing story, but Laine is certainly making a strong case for a spot in the organization’s long-term plans.
