and they’ve answered my concern for a real 4th liner with muscle, Blais is much more of a fit for there than Kapanen !
2022-23 and 23-24 he was top 10 in the NHL for hits, we needed thatI fail to see a spot for Kapanen on this team tbh. I like the kid but too much of the same with Beck and Evans.
I looked at a reel of all of Bolduc’s goals last year, he has a great shot. 80% of them where from center of the ice high slot with either a one timer or a wrister. Looks like he’s great at fiding the open ice to make himself open.
I think he might fit in well with Demidov who likes to skate with the puck and create plays.
I don’t think Laine will be a great fit, too static and whoever they will be centered by won’t be a selke nominee for sure. You need another winger that can play the 200 foot game and I think Bolduc is more capable in that department or otherwise. I think Demidov, Dach, Laine is too much of a liability.I saw the same thing … the puck doesn’t stay long on his stick, boom and it’s in the net.
Like you, I could see him working well eventually with Demidov as their styles are complimentary … Bolduc also brings in that 200 foot game (physical aspect/puck retrieval/forechecking).
The more I watch videos of Bolduc, the more I like his play … he seems like a stubborn dog on a bone. ????
Great replacement for Heineman with a lot more upside IMO.As for Laine, I don’t see him being with the team once his contract is up at the end of the season … he barely moves out there, his only asset is his shot and the opponents know it.
He’s way too expensive for what he brings (PP specialist only).and they’ve answered my concern for a real 4th liner with muscle, Blais is much more of a fit for there than Kapanen !

But cone this October, I think I genuinely will be more exited about watching the games than I have been in years.
Demidov will be something to watch all by himself. Yes even if Dach or Newhook is the centre he plays with.
Dobson will make this team better. Remember how much Carrier made this team better? Dobson will have a much better impact and I like Carrier.
Slaf and Hutson will only keep growing as players. I expect we will see Reinbacher sooner rather than later.
This is a very young team and some players will have to fight at camp to make this team. As it should be.
no

He’s way too expensive for what he brings (PP specialist only).At least a guy like Dach could look at anderson and try to play more like him. Its not like we could not use that in the playoffs.
When it comes to Laine, he is lethal on the power play but not so good on 5 on 5. Is that the guy we want in our bottom 6? I mean he would add skills in there, but at that point I would rather have a guy like Owen Beck and or Florian Xhekaj on the 4th line.
