TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie reported a scoop a few weeks ago, stating that the Montreal Canadiens were not the only team interested in Patrik Laine.
According to what Renaud Lavoie revealed last week, Patrik Laine refused a specific trade before his move to the Montreal Canadiens:
However, the reporter couldn't reveal which team Laine directly refused to be traded to.
Today, we seemingly have the answer.
Did Patrik Laine refuse a trade to the Minnesota Wild before accepting the one to the Montreal Canadiens?
For those who believe players don't want to play in Montreal, Laine has clearly proven otherwise.
It was the well-known Elliotte Friedman, during the latest episode of his podcast 32 Thoughts, who revealed that the Minnesota Wild was very interested in Patrik Laine.
«And in an interview with The Minnesota Star Tribune, Wild General Manager Bill Guerin admitted that Laine didn't want to join his team, hinting that it was on the list of 10 teams to which the Finnish player refused to be traded.»

Considering this comes from a TVA Sports article (the network Renaud Lavoie works for), we can likely deduce that he was referring to the Minnesota Wild.
Since arriving in Montreal, Patrik Laine has never hidden his excitement about being traded to the Canadiens.
We can't wait to see the results on the ice at the Bell Centre! I truly believe it will work out and become a great acquisition by Kent Hughes.
