He would probably make a decent enough winger. Not sure that's what he wants though.
It certainly seems better than when we used to "only" need a 1C, and a 2D.... And a 3D...and a #1 winger.
You're right, but he'd probably just like to play no matter what the position he's asked to play. Also, I may be alone on that, but I get the impression he's been stifling his own instincts all season long, which are more offensive than defensive, I think he may actually have fun playing forward and try to create offensively while destroying people at the same time.

Newhook just might be an adequate 3C with Evans on the 4th playing heavy defensive minutes. I'm thinking it will be hard to find one, let alone two, middle 6 centers.
Harder to find a chair for Dach IMO. He's been good at W two years ago so maybe as a big bodied skilled complementary middle 6 winger? Really not sure about his role going forward.
Time to call up a real hockey player.
Roy and Pezzetta aren't going to cut it during this intense stretch run.

Well sure, but Mikkola is a depth player, it's not like anything more was to be expected from him in this setting.

Suzuki is a gem and Hughes is right to say it would be shameful to squander his career. He's the 1C we've wanted all along but he needs someone to help shoulder some of the load.
I don't have much love for either Dach or Newhook but I can see both on the third line to start the season next year. I don't love it but like you say, we can't expect to acquire a 2C AND another middle6 C so it'll be fine to be pragmatic.
Should be an exciting summer... I hope we get some playoff action (or a good draft pick!!) before then.
Problem is, which real hockey player can we call up ?
We don't have a lot of depth at F this season.

Maybe Kapanen could be an option if Timra is eliminated. He had a nice progression curve this year and isn't coming into a tire fire. The team lacks one winger right now, so he could be part of the answer.

Call up Davidson.
He's got a shot, physical and a bit of a pest. Isnt afraid to crash the net, or mix it up.
He takes what Pezzetta does best in being physical and can shoot just as well, if not bettee than Roy.

Davidson or Condotta. We just need someone that can play a regular shift on the 4th line.
I'm fine with Heineman playing with Laine and Newhook. Even if he's not scoring, he skates, forechecks and hits.

Habs cup - its in the BAG
Davidson should be it just cause I wouldn't take the captain out of Laval right now.
Xhekaj is the perfect 4th liner.
Put Heinman on the 2nd, Arber and Florian on the 4th. Profit.

Let him get the Burns and Byfuglien experience, then move him back to D in a year or two. Or use him as a hybrid.
