Dach looks like a bottom 6 guy that can run around and chip in occasionally. Sort of looks like Entwhistle with a bit more jam.
Dach has way more offensive upside than Entwistle.

After watching the t-birds playoffs and memorial cup I would be ok if KK played another year in the WHL. He still has things to work on and I’m concerned it may be harder to work on them in the AHL.
Allen looks really good. He seems to play a good 2-way game.

Yesterday‘s game I saw multiple guys on him behind the Seattle net, they way he can still get the perfect break out pass out even with pressure on him is unreal.I harp on him needing to work on improving his shot but his passing and recognition are very good. He's sees plays and quickly makes the perfect pass - 5 foot or 10 foot or 30 foot and they're off his stick and on the money in a blink.
What does his shot need improvement on? Velocity, accuracy, getting through traffic?I harp on him needing to work on improving his shot but his passing and recognition are very good.

Yes - all three, plus more of a willingness to take the shot.What does his shot need improvement on? Velocity, accuracy, getting through traffic?
KK has definitely not outgrown the WHL. He has much to learn and is nowhere near a dominating player at this level.After watching the t-birds playoffs and memorial cup I would be ok if KK played another year in the WHL.

He doesn’t need to have a good shot to be a great player. It’s clearly not his game. At his best he’s going to be a zone entry/zone exit beast that can stretch the ice with his passing. There are plenty of incredible defenseman that are profiled just like that. hawk examples: Duncan Keith had a terrible shot. Seth Jones.
Zellwegger is cool like a rich man’s Tory Krug. Adam Boqvist. You don’t have to do that to be ready. He is entirely too casual in the D zone and we’ll know he’s really ready when he’s regularly making end to end rushes and keeping a good gap with a good stick.

My post is really pointed at those who have said they believe KK would be better served playing in the A than in the Dub. He clearly is best served continuing to learn the game at the Dub level, imo.Putting things into perspective - KD has made a point that taking time with prospects is part of the rebuild strategy and there's no reason to question their commitment to follow through on that at this time. The same measured approach is applied to the rebuild in general - they will not rush the plan. Therefore, KK is not only not supremely ready, he's also not needed in the Hawks lineup at this stage of the rebuild. Maybe a case can be made for him to play in the AHL but that option isn't available so it's either WHL or NHL and I hope KD sticks to his guns and KK spends next season leading the T-birds.
I know - I was just adding on.My post is really pointed at those who have said they believe KK would be better served playing in the A than in the Dub. He clearly is best served continuing to learn the game at the Dub level, imo.

Well, as I use YouTube tv and Bettman seems to not want streaming services to have NHLNhl Network starts at 6pm
Doesn’t seem to be live for whatever reason
