1. I’ve come to a point where I hear habs news and it’s not Eric Engels, or tsn, sportsnet or whoever I wanna hear about this news and their take on it. It’s junkies take lol. That’s the biggest take I care about 😂.

2. Brenda G and Mario A out…. this is what the CH needs

3. if laine, dach, and gallagher play 70 games each, montreal will finish 7th or 8th. its all about health. the young prospects could be good or great. but those 3 guys need to be healthy. i give it a 60/40 chance. maybe 70/30.

4. Thank GOD they let us into those negotiations last week eh?!?! 😁

5. No forward involved, so can we finally get rid of Pezzetta?? Please?

6. Kent Hughes masterclass

7. might be a risk but i feel like it's the time to take such a risk before the team peaks

8. Can the season start yet…

9. Laine was one of the ones I was pretty much against acquiring NGL. Him and PLD among a couple of others. There's nothing I hate worse than a player who stops playing because he'a unhappy where he is. Dude is making almost 10 Mil a year FFS. Put a smile on your face and play your damn heart out UNTIL you get the trade you so desperately want. That's the attitude I like to see. Very rare though.
   But after watching the interview and hearing the stats and contract situation, and also the price we paid to get him, it's a really good chance to take on the guy. As you said, it's 2 years. If it doesn't work out, it won't be a huge albatross around their neck for 6 years or so. And giving up ONE single defenseman is win win because it makes much needed space!
   So I guess you could put me in the HAPPY column about this one.

10. Here's hoping he finds a way to get 40+ goals.

11. Excited to have him but it's a weird move. We can all admit that the Habs will be hitting their stride in a few seasons from now. Laine is only signed for 2 years. Those 2 years will still be rebuilding years. Should be interesting to see how this plays out.

12. I'm a doubting Thomas. Shoulder injury, rehab, highest salary on the Habs and wanted to be traded? Sheesh! Let me see if he can score 35+ this year. Only then will I believe. More likely he gets injured again and sees limited playing time.

13. John LeClair karma finally cashed in.

14. Love it

15. I think still another move is coming

16. Six foot five, eh? Let's hope he doesn't like poutine too much: the rest of the city would like to eat some too… ;-)>

17. I can’t believe it ! It’s incredible ! Someone lock Kent Hughes up !!!

18. Cant wait to watch em all play. Lets Gooo!

19. wow the canadiens completely won that trade plus they can draft a defenseman ( if necessary) of same caliber with that 2nd round pick plus you potentially have a 40 goals scorer of course if healthy W and wtf colombus?

20. Not sure if I'm more exited about this trade or about Junkie's continuous and hilarious descriptions of Habs news! As a Quebecer who lived in Gander for a year, listening to this channel is music to my ears. I'll admit, I'm so confident of the content that I even press the thumbs up before the video starts, lol. But as for Laine, I think the current management and young optimistic team will do wonder for Laine! Welcome to Mtl, poutine is on me!!!

21. I'm pumped, Harris had to go anyway, so to get a 2nd round pick was already a win.
    I predict Lanine scores 30 + 🔥

22. His talent has always been there, much like the aggressive nature of the end of you sentence structure on your videos are on the regular, then 39-41 for 80 isn’t out of the question.
    If he is half as good this season as these videos
