Find a replacement for Patrik Laine on the second line, prepare the special teams, improve the defensive game… Are there too many projects left for the Canadian with the time remaining before the start of the season? Our panelists discuss it and venture to predict the Habs trios at the start of the season. They also look back at the preseason match between the Los Angeles Kings and the Boston Bruins played Thursday in Quebec.
There, Martin [St-Louis] does both: coaching his team and taking care of powerplay. I don’t know where he’s going to find the time to do all that.
Stéphane Waite
I do not exclude a dismissal of Arber Xhekaj to Laval. I don’t think it’s going to happen […]but there’s something in the air that’s weird about Xhekaj.
Simon-Olivier Lorange
If this match [des Kings à Québec] had been presented in Houston or Atlanta, do you think Gary Bettman would be there? I think he would be there.
