I could see Laine working well with Suzuki and Slaf - and then Demidov really bringing the best out of Dach and Cafield.
Laine - Suzuki - Slaf
Caufield - Dach - Demidov (would be like Caufield-Suzuki-Dach, except Demidov in for Suzuki).
If SKA had the marketing, it'd make for quite the adventure! Uncle Vlad subsidizes 1 plane from MTL, and 1 plane from TOR to get ~500 Canadians to cheer on SKA for 1 week in mother Russia..If you can get the pilot to go via East Midlands airport for refuelling, I'll join you ;-)

How many went for the Summit Series?
I wasn’t being too serious, however…I doubt the team that writes the habs articles had knowledge on who the habs wanted.
Most of the names that were seen as a possibility at 5 (Sennecke, Lindstrom, Dickinson, Iginla, Catton, Parekh) would've taken part in the prospects game, so there was a good chance that we would pick someone who wouldve been there.
If it wasn’t clear before, it’s now clear Demidov was top-2 in the draft, and Habs would have made the right decision to move up and fetch him earlier if they knew he’d be gone by 5.I doubt the team that writes the habs articles had knowledge on who the habs wanted.

Who said anything about russian planes? Mind you that would make for a great chapter in the series.. lol
I ain't getting on any Ruskie KHL plane and/or flying through eastern european air space
If you like Russian songs , it's shows the SKA 24-25 roster with Demidov.
I don't honestly really care what his numbers look like this season if he does in fact remain in the KHL all season, as long as he's up thereMight be hard, Michkov was getting lots of opportunities in Sochi because the roster wasn't that good. It's different with SKA.
No it's worse than you think bud lol...Considering the number of fans who actually watched Reinbacher play hoping he'd lose...
Hmmm you may just be right.
They have over 30 players and 4 goalies on that photo….. Are they gonna use them all or some are MHL bound ?
There are a lot of possible line combos I could see working, like this one.I got
Laine- Suzuki - Demidov --- Big-Mid-Mid
Caufield - Dach - Slaf - Small-Big-Big
Roy-Beck-Newhook
If I remember correctly, KHL teams have 26 players roster with 3 goalies, but can only suit 24 for games and there is another rule where two needs to be under 20 years old.They have over 30 players and 4 goalies on that photo….. Are they gonna use them all or some are MHL bound ?
Michkov going to Sochi wasn’t by accident. If Demidov stays with Ska it’ll probably be a testament to a better all round package including attitudeMight be hard, Michkov was getting lots of opportunities in Sochi because the roster wasn't that good. It's different with SKA.
I'd say "starting with attitude".Michkov going to Sochi wasn’t by accident. If Demidov stays with Ska it’ll probably be a testament to a better all round package including attitude
For me it is still a mystery why SKA decided to let Michkov go to NHL even he had still a valid contract for two more seasons. Did Flyers payed them a huge ransom ? is Michkov such a bad teamate ? The kid is supposed to be the second best young player in the World behind Celibrini. Why not keep him and use him to win games, give a good show, etc… ?Michkov going to Sochi wasn’t by accident.

Flyers 100% for sure paid the team to get himFor me it is still a mystery why SKA decided to let Michkov go to NHL even he had still a valid contract for two more seasons.

And now, they might try very hard to have Demidov sign a long term contract for the coming seasons…..
I am looking forward to see Laine and Dach after having missed almost a full season last year. Are our expectations about them too high for this coming season ?Out of all the combo's afforded to the Habs now, the ones I'd love to eventually see is:
Laine Dach Slaf - This is a legion of doom level line with size, skill and speed.
Cole Suzuki and Demidov - The level of sheer talent and goal scoring ability is making me blush.
Honestly might be two of the better lines in the NHL.
