I know it’s hard to see from the outside looking in (I suspect you did not watch a tons of Habs games?) but Dach really started to put it together at the end of the season. He wasn’t racking up too many points but he was dominent on the ice and very noticeable. Much more than what he showed at the start of the season when he was with Caufield and Suzuki.
That’s not my call or yours to make buddy. Also, Beck doesn’t have the ceiling Suzuki had. He’s probably already NHL ready and could play next year but he looks to be more like a Danault than a Suzuki which is still an incredibly useful player to have (and needed) to win a cup.
Yes very possible he doesnt reach Dubois but its also possible he does Dach is 22 years old today in 2 years he can become better then a 60 point center he got drafted 3rd overall because he had that potentiel but now its on him to show it and he did a little bit at the end of our season but he needs to keep working and improving
im crazy because i think a 22 year old player can improve ? i like Dubois hes good but hes a 60 points top 6 forward lets not act like hes a superstar
cope imo. they're going to convince themselves no matter what that the cost – if he goes elsewhere – was too high. there's still a limited amount of suitors out there for him. the price will be diminished compared to his open market trade value.
Dach could very well improve, but aside from your gut feeling, there is ZERO evidence to suggest he'll be better than PLD
Dach is 6"4 Dubois is 6"2 so no not the same size
It's OK to hope, but do so realizing that's all it is
Beck becoming better then Dubois is what i would call very low but Dach passing Dubois is not low i wont say its high but its possible did you watch Dach in the bubble before hes big injury? the kid showed promise right away but then got a big injury which slowed him down but it doesnt mean that he cant become better then a 60 point player he has that potentiel he just needs to reach it
I honestly was not aware of that. Here on the east coast we can’t watch teams on the West due to blockage (unless illegally streamed on the internet).Watch a ton of Habs games........funny comment, if you live in Canada your forced to watch a ton of Habs & Leafs games whether you want to or not.
That being said I likely didn't watch as many as you.
Time will tell on Dach like all young players
Suzuki had multiple 100+ points season in Junior and was known for his vision and passing ability. He’s a completely different player than Beck. Beck doesn’t have the offensive talent Suzuki has (unfortunately). This shouldn’t even be a debate
Saying Dach CAN catch Dubois and predicting he WILL are two very different things. Someone is changing their story here
you're not defining what 'too much' is. literally the post below yours says josh anderson (solid complimentary wing with an albatross contract) + christian dvorak (overpaid third liner) + kidney (b-tier prospect) and a fourth round pick is a fair price. on the habs boards i've seen dvorak + harris + the 31st pick. those are still hilarious underpays for 8 prime years of a legit top line two-way center.
habs fans have been saying for years they shouldn't give up anything of value when they can just get him for free as a UFA, now it looks like he's not going to walk to UFA status, but habs fans are still saying anything above their original (garbage) proposals is an overpay.
There’s no guarentee a team will cave if Chevaldayoff is expecting Dach or that kind of value from other teams which means UFA next year is still a reality until something is official. Montreal and all the other teams interested hold the cards. If they all think Chevaldayoff is way to high on his ask, they’ll wait him out until he’s forced to lower his ask after arbitration when he becomes a rental. It doesn’t exactly sound like there’s a big bidding war going on right now. Somebody would’ve reported a lot more if there was.
