There's a interesting trade proposal making the rounds involving Patrik Laine possibly heading to the Montreal Canadiens.

Grant McCagg, the analyst behind the idea, discussed it on a podcast with Tony Marinaro.

The concept is intriguing, likening Laine to this year's "Kirby Dach" for new GM Kent Hughes. Here's the proposed trade:

**TRADE PROPOSAL**

Canadiens receive: Patrik Laine

Blue Jackets receive: One of Jayden Struble or Jordan Harris and the 2024 first-round pick from Winnipeg.

It's got people talking, but the big question is, is it a fair deal for Patrik Laine?

McCagg also brought up an interesting point about the potential involvement of Logan Mailloux if the Blue Jackets aren't sold on Harris or Struble. Even with that twist, he believes the Canadiens would still come out ahead in the deal. If the Habs land him, they'll have another star to anchor a budding young core. Next season is the year where the organization intends to take the next step so why not go all in?

As for Laine, it's been a rollercoaster ride lately with injuries and mental health challenges. Yet heading into the 2024-25 NHL season, he seems to be regaining his form. The kid has undeniable talent, and there's a reason he was a second overall pick in the first place.
