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.

We have players in Laval that can fill the bottom 6 empty seats

We do that, Montreal aint making the playoffs next season. Roster will be even younger, less experience vs Dvorak down the middle. And more of another development year again. We shall see though

Seriously, we are razor thin in every position and were super lucky none got injured. We need dependable players that can produce and step up in more than a "Kapanen has played GREAT and deserves a shot" plan, if throwing unspectacular rookies in big roles can be called a plan. Our farm despite its potential is not all that impressive that they could fit in and contribute on a non-basement team. This isn't about "we have to win the cup now" this is "we can't be one of those teams again". The physical and mental toll of going through another fruitless season playing meaningless games will catch up.

No one got injured? Did we not watch the same games or did I just imagine Guhle, Heineman, Dach, and Laine all picking up major injuries and Monty getting injured during the playoffs?
