After Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes, it was head coach Martin St-Louis's turn to appear in front of the media to answer questions.
He was notably questioned about the makeup of his power-play lines and pairings, and he gave a very interesting answer.
Martin St-Louis hints that he could use two defensemen on his top power-play unit

When asked about it earlier today, St-Louis confirmed that it is indeed an option, notably to make room for new acquisition Noah Dobson.

"Anything is possible," said the coach.
"We'll have some great options."

"We'll have some great options."
So don't be surprised if Lane Hutson AND Noah Dobson are on the top power-play unit, which could come at the expense of a Cole Caufield or a Patrik Laine eventually.
The name Mike Matheson was even mentioned - imagine that!
Clearly, some tough choices will have to be made.
"Everything is possible. [...] We'll have some great options.
We manage day by day, we have to manage the minutes and the role they will play."
"We brought in a few young players [like Zachary Bolduc], not to mention Dobson who already has a solid résumé. We have to find a way to integrate these guys."
