C Oliver Kapanen - Timra, SHL (2021, 64th, MTL)

[Colezuki]

He's a solid player but needs to get stronger on the puck. He'll be sent back to the SHL soon but ya, he wll for sure be an NHLer down the road IMO.

The laine injury complicates things though, I see it likely he starts in Montreal as Roy has looked suspect to start. The team is basically deciding if he or heineman is the guy and if Roy can play 2nd line duties.

If Roy takes the 2nd line then heineman, if not kapanen

It's possible. I just think the team sees him as a part of the team down the road but not just yet, send him back to europe to work on his weaknesses. I think Heineman has a better shot at startin in MTL even though I prefer Kapanenen and what he'll bring down the road.
