Maybe split up the top line

Newhook-Suzuki-Caufield
Slafkovsky-Dach-Kapanen

Dach is going to have to fight me to Slaf off Suzuki's line.
He can have Caufield though.

That’s not happening any time soon.

Caufield-Dach-Roy line could work
Newhook-Suzuki-Slaf, too

They might spread it out at some point. But I think Caufield and Newhook are too small to be on opposite wings. I don't find Newhook strong on board battles.

I think Newhook-Slaf and Caufield-Kapanen/Roy could play opposite wings, and then you have one of Suzuki and Dach between each.

Well I had it a bit different I would us Caufield/Dach/Kap to start with and I don't think taking Slaf off Suzuki's flank is a great idea.
I like the progress he's made beside the Captain and still think he has more to learn details wise.

agreed. I like keeping Newhook and Slaf on separate lines anyway because we have so many RH shots.

So now that we know Laine won’t be out as long as we expected do we send him back to Sweden?

The 2-3 months leave enougth time to trade someone to make a spot for him if required and I think after 10 weeks in the NHL he can be sent down to the AHL instead of the SHL ( I remember something like with Heineman but he got injured and was sent back to Sweden).

Dude moves with confidence.
