AgreedWouldn't surprise me if they put him on Dach's wing. Dach is horrible at faceoffs still and Kapanen could take them.

So now that we know Laine won’t be out as long as we expected do we send him back to Sweden?
If by having Laine we have to resign Armia, maybe it's not a good deal. Laine can survive Armia gone, he will make new friends. If for each good player we have to keep a mediocre player, where are we going?I doubt it would matter. It does apply to Mesar though. Unlikely Habs would trade him unless he is definitely not an NHL player and there is no room in Laval.
A Lehtonen playing center.Kapanen the next Lehtonen? One could only hope...
One thing i noticed about Kapanen is that he feels light. He seems to be lacking in the strenght department. Every other attributes scream NHLer.

Those lines at practice warrant a Go-Fund-Me for First Class tickets back to Sweden.I am not a fan of keeping this player in the NHL this year. I hope they send him back to Europe soon.
Go on, why not?I am not a fan of keeping this player in the NHL this year. I hope they send him back to Europe soon.
I agree with you Skip. I fear a lost season playing on the 4th line and wasting development time. Should be playing top line minutes this year under Jokinen IMO, then bring him over for good next year. But hopefully the Habs know best on this one.I hope he's on PP2 when he's in the lineup.
Otherwise back to Finland if he's about to be used like Jake Evans.
He will be moved at the center of the 3rd line after the deadline probably.I agree with you Skip. I fear a lost season playing on the 4th line and wasting development time.
