It is no secret that Patrik Laine has requested to be traded from Columbus and there is a chance Montreal is involved.
It also does look like the Blue Jackets are actively looking for a place for Laine to land. And speaking of land, it was reported that Laine was even seen at the airport in Montreal.
With all the speculation around Laine and where he may be playing next season there have been very few concrete reports about a real trade option. Now, we have Bob Trask in the mix providing a trade with Montreal that would move five of their assets to get Laine on the roster.
Trade to land Laine in Montreal has five team assists moving to Columbus
Trask has had some mixed reviews on his proposal that would send a bunch of players/assets to Columbus for Laine, with the Blue Jackets retaining $2.3 million.
I'll toss my hat into the Patrick Laine trade proposals
To Montreal: Laine with $2.3M of salary retained
To Columbus
- choice of Dvorak or Evans
- choice of Struble or Harris
- choice of Farrell, Davidson or Kidney
- the later of Montreal's 2 second round picks in the 2025 draft

The price seems high for Laine, who can be hit of miss coming off a rough season. But overall, it will give the Canadiens Laine for $6.5 million, some would consider that a good deal.
There will be more to come with the Laine trade options before the season starts.
