I think you play Demidov with any two forwards in the lineup but Laine and it becomes a true second line. Dvorak Heineman, Evans Gallagher, Newhook Armia, Evans Anderson. Pick any. The only one that doesn’t have the acceleration to play an NHL playoff transition game is Laine. That’s despite being amazing on the PP.Demidov didn't play well the whole time in that game, even with Armia. Once the defenders took more notice of him, he was in trouble. The same thing happened at the end of the season in SKA, that's why he didn't play. And he didn't show much in this game either.
No pretension, he is young, needs experiences.
Btw, only in this line center is a winger.
