Oliver Kapanen
Oliver Kapanen was a good candidate to make the team before Laine's injury, but an extended absence for the fellow Fin will almost certainly get him on the team. Kapanen playing in Laine's spot seems like a long shot, as he looks more like a bottom-six center to begin his career. However, the elevation of other players in the lineup will open a spot for Kapanen without waiting for a Christian Dvorak or Jake Evans trade.
