Hearing a ton today about this....a rumor I first wrote about days ago...

The Canadiens aren't done. Not by a long shot...

This morning again two more reports, from sources I have known for years, who are telling me the Habs are looking around the NHL to add some star power and targeting two players....

Mainly Patrick Laine. ”Laine could be an offer sheet as early as tomorrow," one source continued, "it is far from a secret both sides have connected and talked contract..."

Laine is an interesting case among the RFA's after he struggled so much last season and found himself in the doghouse in a contract year....This has the Jets more than a bit nervous to go hog wild with term. Montreal could really put the Jets into a bad spot and the Jets know it. Montreal doesn't want to give up all the draft picks in an offer sheet so trade talk becomes inevitable..

The Canadiens also continue to talk to the Flyers regarding a d-man...The name that was coming up two weeks ago has changed...Then it looked like Gostisbehere was the key component, but now that has shifted to Travis Sanheim...

More to come including a Rumor hart update with the RFA signing percentages updated.
