A renowned New York radio host, well-connected with the Montreal Canadiens, has a scoop on a trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets for Patrik Laine.
We are talking about the famous "Incarcerated Bob," who was the first to announce the hiring of Martin St-Louis by the Canadiens and also the first to announce the trade of Alex Newhook to Montreal.
In recent hours, he was asked about what is currently happening between the Canadiens and the Blue Jackets regarding Patrik Laine.
His response is interesting.
Kent Hughes is officially interested in acquiring Patrik Laine but is waiting for the price to drop
Laine, who has left the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program and can now be traded, has requested a trade from the Blue Jackets.
To know if Kent Hughes is genuinely interested in acquiring him, here's his response.
«They are interested [in acquiring Patrik Laine] if the price drops. For now, the price is a bit high for a young team in rebuilding mode.»
- Incarcerated Bob
So, what is delaying the trade for Patrik Laine is the asking price by Don Waddell.
However, the price is likely to drop over the weeks and as the NHL training camps approach.
If the price drops enough, don't be surprised if the 6-foot-5 Finnish forward is traded to the Montreal Canadiens.
Laine, 26, has accumulated 204 goals and 184 assists (388 points) in 480 NHL career games.
He is an exceptional goal scorer, and it would be a very interesting move for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton.
A situation to follow.
