Olivier Primeau criticizes Patrik Laine
On the podcast *Le Playbook* with Jean-Charles Lajoie and Greg Lanctot, Primeau expressed his thoughts on Patrik Laine, sharing his concerns about the acquisition and how it fits into the Canadiens’ strategy.
“What’s the point of bringing in Laine, who is taking the place of so many young players we have? […] Being that soft, it’s not a good example at all.”

He seems to believe that Laine is taking the spot of several young players and isn’t contributing enough, especially for a player who hasn’t played for a while.
