Saw some quotes by Olli Jokinen on Oliver Kapanen. Jokinen is coaching Timra IK in the SHL this year, Kappanen is signed with them.

"after watching him play so far, I think he could be one of the top forwards in the SHL this season. I am counting on him stealing a spot a the Canadiens camp."

“He’s been too good for our league so far this preseason; playing like a dominant force in every single game. He’s been great offensively, scoring some goals, but also defensively and in the faceoff circle, which will be his biggest advantage going into Montreal. He’s the type of player you can put anywhere, because his hockey sense is very high.”

Olle said if he doesnt make Montreal he will be a number one centre for TImra this year. Sounds positive, good development opportunity if he isn't ready to play for us.
 
The depth is looking really good and now we've started to add some higher end talent with Demidov and Slaf... along with the vets Suzi and Cole. I think, we need Demidov to reach his full potential to be true Cup contenders someday... but we're definitely heading in the right direction, finally.
