\t\t\t\t\tThe Montreal Canadiens’ training camp is fast approaching, and we can’t wait to see what Patrik Laine<\/a> will bring to the table for the 2025-2026 season.<\/p>\n Acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets in the summer of 2024, the Finnish forward will be entering the final year of his contract worth $8.7 million, and he hasn’t hesitated to make his intentions clear about his future with the Tricolore.<\/p>\n Patrik Laine’s request to Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens is very clear: he wants to re-sign here!<\/p>\n “Yes, of course! I don’t think I need to say more. Yes, I would really like to be here.” – Patrik Laine<\/p>\n Although there haven’t yet been any official discussions between Kent Hughes and Laine’s camp, the door certainly seems open for him to continue his association with the Canadiens.<\/p>\n This will definitely be an interesting storyline to follow throughout the regular season.<\/p>\n “I’m very happy to be back and hopefully we can continue progressing as we did last year. I think we’re on the right track and that we’re going to do even better this year.” – Patrik Laine<\/p>\n There’s no hiding that if Laine hopes to remain with the Canadiens long-term, he will need to show more consistency in his play.<\/p>\n After scoring at will upon his return in December last season, the veteran struggled down the stretch, so much so that Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis didn’t hesitate to bench him in certain games.<\/p>\n Previously on HabsFanatics<\/p>\n POLL<\/p>\n 14 HOURS AGO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0475 ANSWERS<\/p>\n Patrik Laine Publicly Makes a Clear Request to Kent Hughes and the Canadiens<\/p>\n Would you like Kent Hughes to re-sign Patrik Laine?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tHABSFANATICS.COM![\"SuperHockeyPool25-26](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1700.jpg\" "\\"SuperHockeyPool25-26")
