Doubt it. Imagine icing a roster with thin depth up the middle and you get injuries where you have to rush Beck and Kapanen while they are trying to develop the right way in Laval. That has ripple effects to both Beck and Kapanen and Laval.
Suzuki. Enough said
Dach. Needs a rebound and to be the guy we think he can be. That was suppose to be last year. The Hage pick makes a lot of sense. I call it Dach insurance.
Dvorak and Evans. Believe it or not, we need them. This is not a rebuilding/tank season. It's a transition year
Newhook is not a full time center. He's a puck possession winger who can play center if needed (injuries). A great piece to have in the mix but if your plan is to have him as a full time center, it's not a good plan. Trust Sakic on this one
Beck and Kapanen should play Laval all season. Need to learn how to play against men and gain momentum/confidence the right way. Maybe a few NHL games to give them a taste
Hage is years away.
Kapanen will play in Sweden this season unless he makes the Habs.
