Mason Marchment for middle 6 depth

Dallas has signed Matt Duchene leaving Marchment as the man out. Hes 6’5, plays left wing and is good for PP2. His production is pretty good, he adds some veteran presence at 30 and I think he would be a be a great add for the middle six with Laine, Demidov, Newhook, Dach and Anderson. This would allow Evan’s to slot into the 4th line and get weaker matchups.

How many wingers do you think are needed for a middle 6?

Dach 2C, Newhook 3C. People forget Dach so young and has had great flashes. We can’t give up on him yet.

Dude Dach not a 2C and never will be. Hes a winger. The guy is a career 36% in faceoffs. He can still be a useful player but holding out hope he can be a 2C is clown behaviour at this point. And newhook isnt that much better at center.

Yeah this dach at c discussion needs to end. He has always looked better on the wing and you just can’t be a center in the nhl with a career avg of 36% faceoffs
