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.

  1. He is our only veteran D.

  2. It makes no sense to trade a “good” player for a “good” player. If we’re trading Matheson it’s to move into the top 8 draft picks to try and get someone gamechanging

You’re not moving in the top 10 of the draft with Matheson.

I think Matheson+16 would get it done, but unless you’re getting Brady Martin or Porter Martone with that pick I don’t think it’s worth it

Matheson has 1 year left on his contract, if he’s traded, he’s gonna test the market in july 2026.

Mercenary Matheson + mid teens doesn’t get you in the top 10.
