The person who is probably the best journalist covering the Columbus Blue Jackets, Aaron Portzline, has new information on the price to acquire Patrik Laine.
Many Montreal Canadiens fans would like Kent Hughes to acquire the 6-foot-5 forward Patrik Laine to take a chance on his immense talent, but many are also concerned about the cost of acquiring him.
On this subject, the most recent statement from the reputable Aaron Portzline should reassure many fans.
Joel Armia and/or Christian Dvorak for Patrik Laine?
As recently reported by Marco Normandin, it seems that the Columbus Blue Jackets' general manager, Don Waddell, has very reasonable demands.
After all, Laine has requested a trade, so Waddell doesn't have the upper hand in this situation.
"I don't believe Don Waddell expects to receive a Top-6 player in this trade, but rather an established NHL player capable of making them more competitive."

"The names Joel Armia and Christian Dvorak immediately come to mind with this description."

Is the name Patrik Laine circulating too much in Montreal?
Maybe, but honestly, at that price, it could really be worth it, especially since Kent Hughes is one of the only NHL GMs with the salary cap space to make the move.
Laine is extremely talented, and on a second line with Kirby Dach, it could really be interesting.
And you, would you trade Christian Dvorak and/or Joel Armia for Patrik Laine?
If a draft pick needed to be added, would you do it?
