Patrik Laine makes a bold prediction for his future with the Montreal Canadiens

Today Patrik Laine was traded to the Montreal Canadiens during a press conference after the trade he made a bold statement about his future in Montreal.

The Montreal Canadiens have made a splash today late in the NHL offseason. It was announced on X that they had acquired former 2nd overall pick Patrik Laine from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Jordan Harris.

Now just a couple of hours after the trade was completed Patrik Laine has spoken to the media. During his remarks Patrik Laine exuded confidence proclaiming that he can reach even bigger heights than he has to this point in his career.

Early in his NHL career Patrik Laine was considered an incredible goal scorer. In each of his first 3 seasons, all with the Winnipeg Jets, he racked up at least 30 goals peaking in 2017-18 with 44 goals. Since then Patrik Laine has struggled to find his goal-scoring prowess and has not hit 30 goals in a season.

Patrik Laine hoping to bounce back after hitting rock bottom

The 2023-24 season was rock bottom for Patrik Laine after he decided to enter the NHL's Player Assistance Program. Since entering he has gotten the help he needs and seems excited to attack his new opportunity now with the Montreal Canadiens.

The Montreal Canadiens have a track record of taking on reclamation project forwards in the past. Whether it be Joel Armia or more recently Kirby Dach the Canadiens are willing to take risks with highly touted players.

Now they will once again hope that they can turn around another career. Patrik Laine has shown incredible highs if he can return to his previous form the Canadiens could unlock a major piece of their offense in their up-and-coming team.
