Mike Babcock reflecting on the silver lining of William Nylander’s absence: “It was really good for our team that Kasperi Kapanen got such an opportunity”

Have you had a chance to talk to William yet? What did you guys talk about?

Babcock: Just the process of what is going to take place in the next few days, welcome back… We’d already done that part. Excited to have him. We’re a better team with him. Now we’ve just got to get through all the testing you have to do when you arrive to make sure he is healthy and ready to go, and then we’ll get him into action as fast as he can.

Have you considered different line combinations for where he might fit in?
