If Ochoa is really not going to play any more fulltime ssdm, I would hope we consider using him on the wing. He is still a big strong fast guy and if he is not losing energy playing ssdm he should have a serious motor coming out for exclusively faceoffs. I always hate seeing Hottle out there. He is too damn small for a physical 3v3 ground ball battle. And I like Hahn but having him as a wing guy, along with the ssdm runs where he has struggled at times, seems like too tall an order for a true freshman. Would like to see us try ssdms like Ochoa and Kittelberger at that spot since they are more physical. For offensive guys my favorite on the wing on paper is probably McIntee, but have we stopped using him there recently?

Overall I think the troubles on faceoffs are more with Mullen/Angelo than with the wings. Both of them have a sort of feast or famine tendency where they either win clean or lose very quickly before the wings get involved. I haven't necessarily seen us lose a bunch of contested 3v3 battles. No complaints with anything from Vinnie B or Chuck K.
