I do think White is a better match with Duchene then Dzingel ever was. Duchene excels from the hashmarks down, Colin White as you mentioned is a player who is going to support the puck and can help do a little of the dirty work for Duchene, he's also going to get to the net. IMO thats what Duchene has been missing on his wing all season, it's been mostly him doing all the work in the offesnive zone and at times he is guilty of trying to do it all himself but Dzingel and Boedker aren't the players who can help play his game. White is. Bobby Ryan can also do that but he doesn't have the jump to keep pace with Duchene. Tierney never really got much of a look on the wing, perhaps the coaching staff didn't feel comfortable with him there. Smith has also been given a look recently but offensively he just isn't on the same level. The others really aren't serious options.
I disagree that there's something to lose, if it doesn't work you can just as easily reunite White with Stone. If anything there's only something to gain. There's been far too many one and done's in the offensive zone. There's one line that you can rely on to consistently hold the offesnive zone. Perhaps this move results in no lines that you can rely on but there's also the chance you get two lines that can apply pressure on a regular basis. At the very least its worth a shot especially with the way things have gone over the past month.
