We had plenty of good questions in the first part of this jam-packed summer mailbag about Alexis Lafrenière, Peter Laviolette’s approach to his new team and which rookie has a chance of making the roster.
We’re on to Part 2, with questions about buyout windows missed (or continuing), forward lines, potential additions this season, and the polarizing figure that is Artemi Panarin.
Is Filip Chytil ready to be the 2nd line center? Likewise, is Kaapo Kakko ready for a top-six role? Brandon W.
Hot take from me: Kakko was ready last season for a top-six role. For whatever.
