Description
Dallas needs to fix their blueline. I strongly believe this. What do you think is their best course of action? Who do you think would be the best fit for them?
Trades
1.
DAL
SJS
  1. Marchment, Mason
Additional Details:
If Marchment has another half-ish season of weak play, I think you attempt to move him. It will be very difficult to do so, but he makes too much money to be a bottom 6 player. If he was a very strong 3rd liner that provided a lot, then I could justify it, but it looked to me like last year he didn't live up to his contract. I could be wrong. Let me know. But Dallas is just a move or two away from checking all the boxes of a legit cup favorite.

A lot of people point to Faksa, but he's quite solid and has been with the team. Marchment is my pick to go. Let me know which team may have interest in taking him.
2.
DAL
    There are several options for Dallas to upgrade their right side on the blueline, which I believe to be priority #1.

    Matt Dumba
    Chris Tanev (dependent on Calgary's season)
    David Savard
    Justin Holl (please do not comment anything negative or unconstructive about Holl, we all know where public opinion lies. Offer something valuable) (dependent on Detroit's season)
    Dylan Demelo (dependent on Winnipeg's season)
    Justin Schultz (dependent on Seattle's season)
    Tyson Barrie, Jan Rutta, Ilya Lyubushkin etc etc etc

    Pairing Tanev (if healthy) or DeMelo with Heiskanen would be lethal for the Stars defense. I do think they need to add another dman because Hakanpaa shouldn't be playing 2nd pair minutes.

    I don't know about the Habs plans for Savard, I get the feeling that they would rather keep him but I would be open to moving him for a 2nd + 3rd
