I wonder how Marchment would work as a Pavs replacement with Robbo and Hintz? He's shown he can produce in a freewheeling system as well as create chaos and cash in on rebounds in front of the net. Might be interesting to see him on that line for a few early season games.
For me Marchment is such a hard player to watch. Yes, his awkward skating gets him in unique positions vs d and he sometimes rips seeing eye shots, but most of the time he’s easily shut down going into the ozone without dishing the puck to his line mates.
Yes he’s strong on the puck in the dzone and uses his size well there, but he’s rarely able to get into the ozone fast enough to have the same effect on board battles behind the net or in corners, thus always seems to be chasing the play in the ozone (almost as bad as Guri did). Then a puck will bounce to him and he buries it, or seemingly accidentally he makes a cross crease pass for an easy Seguin goal???
He might be the least polished NHL player I’ve ever watched… and that is a mystery because he was raised in professional rinks???
His game sort of reminds me of a janmark in Chicago (or any other jailbroke fwd when they leave Dallas), one of those a guy who is putting pieces together in a strange way but seeing good results. Except he’s not doing is on a lottery team but on a team with short odds for the cup. However this might also be why the good times come in waves and the playoffs are so quiet.
Not a bad player, but I feel like he’ll be the mystery box his entire contract.
OK…..really OLD school here. The Stars got pushed around big time in the playoffs, and nobody pushed back. Can’t leave all the pushing to #14, and here’s where I agree with David’s suggestion of Mush replacing Pavs. Opponents put large bodies in front of their net…..let Mush move some of them out of the way, and lastly…..welcome aboard Matt Dumba and IIya Lyubushkin because from what I’ve seen with Matt and read about IIya - they’ve got no problem with pushing back.

Think it probably comes down to how Bourque fits… Marchment could really thrive on that first line.
