#1. Whinny Patrik Laine is back. The honeymoon in Montreal Canadiens is over.

#4. Is there just an abysmal lack of understanding in talent level and excellence of this Montreal Canadiens prospect?

#5. Unless Montreal Canadiens obtains Cale Makar straight up for Logan Mailloux, by the Colorado Avalanche, no one else is worthy of trading for!
