How do the Habs players feel about Patrik Laine’s arrival in Montreal?
Nick Suzuki answered that question earlier today, when a handful of journalists were on hand in L’Île-Bizard on the heels of his golf tournament for the Asista Foundation.
The captain said that “everyone is excited”, having spoken to several of his teammates in recent days.
Laine’s addition to the group is well received by the players, and in Suzuki’s eyes, it sends a message to everyone.
This addition shows that the team management is now ready to start winning.
We’re ready to start winning. – Nick Suzuki

The Habs captain responded to his GM by saying that adding a guy who can fill the net would be ideal… If he’s able to have the right attitude in the room and on the ice.
That said, there’s a real sense of optimism within the organization with Patrik Laine coming to town. The Habs needed to add a scorer to their lineup, and Patrik Laine has exactly what it takes to fill that role in Martin St-Louis’ lineup.
The players are confident they can cause a surprise, and if the captain’s words are anything to go by, now is the time to start showing results on the ice.

AJ Spellacy is just getting started with hockey.
No, really, writes @scottcwheeler.
Spellacy was once a star college football recruit. Now, he’s a top NHL prospect.
