Some people wanted more the 13th overall pick than Dach, but don't forget that Dach is a 3rd overall in a pretty good draft class. (2019).

Dach have same stats of Kakko since they play in NHL. Kakko is a 2nd overall pick too.

They are both good young two-way player who have high offensive potential. Dach injurie don't helped him.

Kirby Dach have high potential and i'm very happy that Habs traded Romanov//13th overall for him.

Pacioretty is a goal scoring winger… Dach is a two-way playmaking center.

Couldn’t be more different.

Go way!! I’m talking about their lack of physical engagement. They are both players you lose with imo. You know, the reason we avoided Wright.

For me the question was rather are you better with Wright Kemell or Slaf Dach. Management seems to think the later combo is better and I hope they are right !

For me an example of a rebuild in 5 years (bit long but well they won the lottery) is NJD : 1C 2C 1top 2 RHD 1 top 2 LHD.

Really hope the Habs get Bedard next year though ;)

When will people understand that pick #13 was out of question for Habs to keep ?

Apparently that takes months/years :laugh:.

Fans also think Narzar is better value than Dach. It's almost like every prospect picked in the top 15 are guaranteed to be better than Dach. Trading Romanov for a draft pick that may not be as good as Romanov or Dach is a good move apparently

Have you seen Dach play in the 2019-2020 playoffs as a rookie?

Yes, he loved to float then too.

Why? The isles didn’t put any restrictions on the pick. Lol. We 100% could have traded Romy for the 13th and selected a player.

Coincidence or not, the trade was annonced before the Seatle pick and Habs picked one of the best 2-way centermen in the draft to start the 2nd day.

I wouldnt be surprised if Habs brass didnt appreciate the Wright's clan strategy at all to use his pedigree and hype train to put some pressure on them to select him 1st OV. Wright even mentionned publicly the calls he had with Lecavalier and management.

How many times you need people and even Kent Hughes to say that they traded for a high pick specifically to get Dach because that’s what chicago wanted for you to understand it?

I guess we won’t ‘’win’’ with Caufield too with your way of thinking so why not trading him now?

Caufield is an elite goal scorer. Dach isn’t elite at anything. Why Hughes traded for a high pick is not in question. It’s who he used it on to acquire. I’m not even sure what you’re saying anymore tbh.

It was always about a three way deal. Hughes wanted Dach. Chicago wanted a mid-round pick, something the Habs did not have. Do you really think Chicago decided on the draft floor to trade Dach. Same for Hughes. Lots of work has been done between the three teams about the players they wanted.

Ok, but Hughes never had to trade 13, this is something you said. He targeted a player, which is fine. It might work out, I’m not sold on Dach, but Chicago has been a dumpster fire, so who knows. I would have preferred picking at 13 tbh.

Once for all . Forget about pick #13. Hughes acquired it to deal it right away. They had no plans picking a player at that position. They wanted a young player with potential than can fill one of the top-3 lines center right away.

You still don’t get it? At this point you just want to argue.

Hughes called chicago about Dach, they asked for picks. Hughes found a way to trade a player to get it so he could be able to get Dach. No, he never wanted the 13th pick to draft a player. It’s not like he traded to get the 13th and though about Dach after.

I know what they wanted, but what I’m saying is the deal for Romy for the 13th was an ok
Deal in isolation. I don’t like what we did afterwards. You’re either deliberately ignoring what I am saying or I’m not sure.

Either way, it looks ok on paper because we have an abundance of d coming, but none of them have proven a thing, so what looks like a surplus (LD, Romy) could still be a weakness.

The trade could end up a home run. I wouldn’t have done it.

Lmao and you think someone is arguing about what actually happened? I think we all know this already. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

There is no "afterwards" That was the three way deal all along.

I like Romanov too, and it's a big gamble to put 2-3 rookies on the backend this coming season. And Dach, for me, is an enigma because his progress was stalled by injuries. And I still don't understand WHY Chicago got rid of one of the very few "bright" young prospect thay had. If they want to re-build, they should had started with Kane and Toews, first.

The Habs never would have just traded Romanov for the 13th pick, though. If they were not getting Dach, that Romanov deal never happens.

You don't like the 13th for Dach, fair enough.
I can't blame them for trying to jumpstart the rebuild with a bit of creative thinking. We needed a young center, we got one and he can play now. Remains to be seen how he will develop.

Mildly surprised Dach hasn't signed yet. It's not like he has any leverage or past performance to fall back on.

Cap management, nothing to do with Dach.
