Looks like himself more and more!

4 points in his last 3 games
No surprise there whatsoever.
PPG guy with that line over a long stretch before Moneyhands went down.
I'm not sure what Marty will do once we get some bodies back but I think we play better with an Evans getting 2nd line minutes as a shutdown.
I wouldn't be inclined to move Dach at this point. our dream of having two high scoring lines may not be a reality for a while yet.

Whoever play on the 2nd line will struggle. There might be 2 or 3 players in this league who could do well with Armia/Anderson and Newhook.

Newhook's fine. But Armia is not the guy. Neither is Anderson.

Roy btw, is 6 in 6 in Laval with 4 goals.

I like that line, honestly.

But I don’t like the idea of Slaf not being in a spot to succeed. Maybe we hope Dach can bring his new confidence on the 2nd line?

This place is out of its mind with the Dach criticism. No hockey in a year. Major surgery and he doesn't even get 20-25 games to adjust.

Exactly, this place is so much like twitter/facebook.......tons of awful takes with the odd rational one sprinkled in here and there.

That is not true at all, Dach was the weakest link who was sinking that line. Now that he is regaining his confidence back that line may very well succeed. I am not a fan of Anderson in the top six at all as he is a good bottom six player but shouldn't be on the ice with cerebral players.

That line needs to be Roy/Armia/Kapanen - Dach - Newhook imo, at least until Laine gets back.
