Subban, who has had many memorable moments with the Canadiens, is back in the spotlight-this time for his reaction to Montreal acquiring Patrik Laine. Subban shared his enthusiasm in an Instagram post.
The Canadiens recently traded for Laine from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for defenseman Jordan Harris, and fans in Montreal are thrilled. If Laine can stay healthy, the Canadiens finally have the pure goal scorer they've been missing for a long time.
Patrik Laine, the 2nd overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, has played 480 NHL games, scoring 204 goals and 388 points. He's hoping for a big comeback with his new team.
PK Subban also had an impressive NHL career, though it was cut short by injuries. Drafted 43rd overall by the Canadiens in 2007, Subban played 13 seasons in the league, seven of them with Montreal. In 834 games, he scored 115 goals and added 352 assists for 467 points. Notably, he racked up 905 penalty minutes, showing his fierce competitiveness and willingness to stand up in many memorable battles on the ice.
