That picture is Patrik Laine, coming out of retirement at age 39, to give it one last go.

I wish they would have never dealt with the Avs.
Crosby’s fetish dollar store giraffe belongs on his team.

He better be playing, why would they keep only 12 forwards if he ain't ready?

We’ll never know but they did trade Harris and Kovacevic — they were making room for someone.

The moment they sent Roy to Laval yesterday was almost a confirmation he will play. They needed to open up a roster spot for his return.

The second line will be guys who are 6'3" and 215 lbs or bigger.

Woot woot
I suspect Laine and Dach won't work long term. But it's a process to find Laine's best linemates. And would it ever be awesome if they did have chemistry.
Heineman will continue to produce no matter where he plays. He has good chemistry with Evans.

That is hilarious. Laine coming back from not playing over a year, so let's put him with Dach. Yep. That will help him easy into the lineup. OMFG!
All I hope for is some Kenzie tonight.

Between Evans and Dvorak, which star playmaking center would you rather pair him with?

I wish we had 2 solid RD... This team would look so different.
Pionk is Ufa this summer, any interest?

I can't imagine why they'd break up Suzuki and Caufield, given that they're the only duo on the team producing anything.

Like you said, we should have kept Kovacevic for another year & moved Barron. We already have Hutson & Matheson as offensive guys on the team. And Mailloux & Engstrom in Laval. We didn't need him.

Yeah that's probably the worst that could happen but knowing our luck it's going to be Caufield or Laine again....
Laine is playing RW tonight, no?

The other options are Suzuki, Evans & Dvorak. And with Suzuki on a line with Caufield, no point putting Laine there with them, as well. Get a triggerman on each of the top two lines.
Dach has been playing better lately. So hopefully this gives him more of a boost. Same for Slaf. The wish here is that both Dach and Slaf are motivated to be with Laine.

This line will be a wild ride defensively lmfao
Can't wait to see it though.
Thought Laine would maybe get 10-20 gamws to shake the rust for next year. Having about 3/4 of a season to get back on track is pretty incredible. Will probably be rough until february but it's all right. The important thing is to get momentum for next year.
