I could be wrong.
Not surprised about Pool Party and Dubois. They weren't touted as being locks to make the NHL this season. Tkachuk always had a shot because of his frame and toughness/style of play.

I'd be surprised if Laine didn't make the team. He kept up perfectly fine at the World Cup. Whether he hits the net or the crossbar in two or three preseason games won't matter to the coach.
A few months ago I thought Laine might need significant transition time, but now I feel it's likely to be no more than two or three weeks.
