Dallas needs depth at center
The Dallas Stars are no different than any other NHL team in that center depth is crucial to success. The Tampa Bay Lightning built quality depth at the position and are experiencing the payoff. The Brayden Point extension and Pierre Edouard Bellemare signing prove Tampa’s understanding of and attempt to maintain depth at the position.
With Joe Pavelski approaching the twilight of his career and Seguin turning 30, the time to find the next guy is now. The Dallas Stars need a young, dynamic player that can anchor their top line for years to come. Jack Eichel’s age and skills are exactly what the Stars need.
Jack Eichel on the Dallas Stars would keep Seguin anchoring on the 2nd line and potentially move Pavelski to right wing. Pavelski has plenty of experience on the right side during his Sharks days. The veteran became a much better player after the move to center, but Pavelski is older and wiser and can make the transition work in Big D.
Just think of a top line that is Hintz, Eichel, and Pavelski.
