I didn't know players stopped developing at 21.
Fiala looked like he was busting. Niederreiter too. D. Strome. These are examples off the top of my head.
Confirmed with Link: Alexander Romanov & Pick #98 Traded to NY Islanders for Pick #13 & Flip It + Pick #66 to Chicago for Kirby Dach

I think Kirby Dach will be the next Bobby Smith in Montreal.

Bergeron is boring AF to watch too..
And Drouin was but boring to watch not a good comparable at all
And Niedereitter and Strome are not top player either..

Bergeron is masterful to watch, and has huge heart.
Wright looks like a tin man with no heart, sorry to say.

Man Arizon gets to 11 from 27. We couldn't have done that from 26 and used that to get Dach??? and kept Romanov???

I sure hope so, because I think Romanov continues to develop in an upward trajectory through the age of 25.

Habs fans, aside from his great skating and hard hitting how is his actual defensive play? Thank you.

People cry for big young Centers.
We make a move for one and people are ready to jump.
Y'all are funny, lol

Average skater....average defensively and not much offense but does make a highlight reel hit every few games.Good kid and always seems to be smiling and enjoys playing hockey.You'll love him over there.

I just know what I watched, because I thought we were drafting him.
I wasn't impressed and wanted Cooley instead.

Dach’s skating is mediocre. But I think Romanov is one of the more overrated players in the NHL. But resisting the pressure of taking Wright first overall has made this evening a success.

Yup...
I was higher on Romanov's upside then most, so I'm not liking this deal.
Dach for Romanov, 3rd & 4th isn't terrible on paper, but if Dach doesn't make the leap to quality top 6 C, it's a loss... And if Romanov progresses from quality top 4 to legit top pairing, it'll be an even bigger net loss.
Hughes is swinging big here, I appreciate the boldness and the additions of Dach & Slafkovsky give the team 2 large bodied, strong skating top 6 forwards with high ceilings... Something we haven't seen as long as I've followed the team.
The depth at D, especially LD also mitigates Romanov leaving.
Not really happy with this deal, but at least I can see the rationale unlike in the MB days.

He’s not that much a great skater and his defensive play his fine but he’s not a shutdown either. Don’t expect offence either

He is fun to watch. Very competitive kid, the habs will regret trading him. He has untapped offensive potential.

Not happy at all. This was done to justify the (wrong) pick at #1. Dach isn't very good.

Cooley and Lekkerimaki would have been a better situation too
