Canadian offensive headliners Nick Suzuki and Juraj Slafkovsky talked about Patrik Laine’s arrival on the team.

Both are clearly delighted with the acquisition of their new teammate and can’t wait to play alongside him. It will be interesting to see how they develop within an increasingly promising team that is in danger of excelling in 2024-25.

“Everyone is excited. He’s a great player and has been a great goalscorer for a long time. That’s exactly what we needed.” Nick Suzuki

There is no doubt that the Habs players are very happy with the personnel decisions, while the team seems to be becoming more and more complete as time goes on. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Juraj Slafkovsky also believes that the arrival of Laine will be beneficial for the Canadian this season.

“I’m looking forward to next season, especially the arrival of Patrik Laine. It’s funny, we constantly ask ourselves in the summer what next year will look like, who you will play with, what your role will be, and I’m really looking forward to it. » Juraj Slafkovsky

In short, we know that the Canadian offensive core has improved significantly with the addition of Laine. It may still lack a little firepower in attack (barely), but let’s say that the top 6 is much more talented than it was two years ago. We still have to wait for the arrival of Ivan Demidov and the return of Kirby Dach, and we will have a top offensive core.
