The Finnish winger is still just 25 years old. When healthy, he is one of the most dangerous scorers in the league. In 2021-22, he scored 26 goals in 55 games before suffering his injury. Laine is expected to be a key part of the Blue Jackets' offense next season. ### Jack Eichel Jack Eichel has not played an NHL game since March 2021 due to a neck injury. He was eventually traded from the Buffalo Sabres to the Vegas Golden Knights in November 2021. After sitting out the entire 2021-22 season, Eichel made his debut for the Golden Knights in October 2022. However, he only played four games before suffering another neck injury. Eichel is expected to be back healthy for the 2024/25 season and should be a major contributor for the Golden Knights. ### Dougie Hamilton Dougie Hamilton missed the entire 2022-23 season after undergoing ankle surgery. The Carolina Hurricanes defenseman is expected to be back in action next season. Hamilton is a two-time All-Star and one of the best offensive defensemen in the league.
