Patrik Laine, now a proud member of the Montreal Canadiens, talked about his time in NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. The 26 year-old is excited for this new chapter and fresh start with the Habs after being traded by the Columbus Blue Jackets. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/canadiensmtl/status/1825620849740886360'> </a></blockquote></div> <q>One thing I've learned is that when you're no longer having fun doing what you do (in my case, playing hockey), you probably won't be able to perform, and that's kind of where I was. I hadn't been able to enjoy myself as much for a while, but now, I'm happier than ever. I've worked a lot on myself to get back to this point where I'm genuinely excited to start playing again, with a new team and new teammates. I've learned a lot and am more ready than ever to put it into practice. </q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/canadiensmtl/status/1825654016111419814'> </a></blockquote></div> After being traded from the Blue Jackets-along with a second-round pick to manage his $8.7 million cap hit in exchange for Jordan Harris, Laine is ready for what's next and that's starring in Montreal. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/jfreshhockey/status/1825621210363044111'> </a></blockquote></div> For Habs fans and GM Kent Hughes, it's a promising sign to see him motivated and ready to make a meaningful impact alongside their treasure trove of young talent spearheaded by Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield.
