Will he stay the whole season?
A finish hockey writer apparenntly "predicted" that he's going by to Sweden in a few weeks.

Can he go to Laval after 10-15 games, if he can't cut it?
I believe it's 10 weeks in the NHL before they can do that and he can't be injured.

I am very happy for the kid, but concerned about as time moves on, will he be able to keep going?
They do not play a lot of hockey with travel over in Europe.
Looks like he's the 14th forward. I'm not even sure if he's going to play unless someone else gets injured.

Great camp Oliver welcome to the team.
We thought this would be a great opportunity for you to get to know Michael Pezzetta. :laugh:

Great Reward!
What is the second part to this move?

I think they want to see more of him and give him more time to show what he's capable of, his first preseason game was his best.

If he doesn't show enough in the games they will probably send him back within the first few weeks.

Heineman didn't have a good camp imo. I don't get the love fest.
The couple of partial games I saw he had some serious speed to his game, nice scoring chance built off his speed, caused some turnovers............big kid who was hustling every shift. Fits in the bottom 6 very nicely and can fill a role that they give him....

The kid took nothing for granted, and like Kap went out and earned it.......

Wait for Dvorak to get injured? :confused:

I think MSL wants to rotate Heineman and Kapanen, but every time he wanted to rotate players the last two seasons, he never really did it...
