Agent Says His Players Will Not Want To Go To Edmonton If Babcock Is Head Coach

Insiders Name 6 Best UFA Fits For Patrik Laine
Patrik Laine's days with the Montreal Canadiens are over. This, we already know. The unrestricted free agent had a lost season in 2025-26, playing only five games in October, then going down to injury and never returning to the Habs lineup. Laine fell out of favor in Montreal, but let's not forget that he's only 28 years old and has no less than seven 20-goal seasons in his 10 years in the NHL. He popped 20 as recently as 2024-25 in his first year with the Habs. He has 224 career goals. ...
