Who is that basketball player in the sports betting commercial? I assume since they never name him, it’s someone “everyone “ should know.
Except me, apparently.

I very like Olivier and hope he will resign. Ideal for the 4th line. Pederson isn't bad too. Simply, this line was the best. Sillinger plays better I think. I'm pleasant suprise Boqvist. What's happen Peeke, his skill and hockey vision are bad.

I'm not that much of a specialist, but it seems to me that he's the best center on the team right now (not counting Johnson, since he plays wing). What do you think?
His move to center seems to have sparked something in his game. IMO he’s played a very well rounded game people have been clamoring for. It seems to come somewhat naturally to him and he seems to be more effective transporting the puck up the middle rather than on the wing.

I'm not so sure yet about the center specific stuff. That line's transition game looked bad in the first half of the game.

He had a gorgeous assist on the Bemstrom goal but not a specifically center thing.

I don't know if it's worth the two points in the standings but there were a lot of things tonight that could give hope going into next year. Whoever we draft (and they'll be a great talent) that's still only one player. We have a lot of young talents to develop already on the team.

Two more assists for KJ.

Laine 4 assists in 2 games at center.

Boqvist is a serious marksman.

Heck even Bemmer and Foudy have been scoring lately. They might figure into next year's lineup, and if not we can get a little something for them.

Laine needs to get used to it, transitioning a center to OZ is different than a winger. Besides, he has more responsibilities. Comparing his game to classic top 6 centers can be done later. And our classic centers are Kuraly (injured), maybe Sillinger. Jenner and Roslovic are wingers playing center.
