Player Discussion Kirby Dach (Part 3): TabarDach Edition!

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

I still don't see 1C potential or him overtaking Suzuki, but can still be a 50-point physical center which is still a great player.

50 points between Laine and Demidov?

Dach's skating has really improved over the past few weeks. Very noticeable.

Yup someone posted a month or so ago that Dach had clocked some decent speed.
At the time that might have been the case but he certainly took forever to reach it.
While he was already showing signs of coming out of his funk he was a completely different skater coming out of the Christmas break. I have no idea if it was mental physical or if he was simply out of game shape.
His stops and starts become much crisper allowing him to engage in the play much quicker.

They really gotta get Laine inked

I thought he had his best game of the season yesterday, offensively at least. He looked crazy good

The offense is coming along, but the defensive side is still a work in progress. He got some Selke consideration back in 2023, he's not at that level yet.

I could be wrong, but I don’t believe he’s ever received a Selke vote.

I'm not even sure why this name popped in this thread.

Crowby Dach

Put him on PP1. Slaf can't keep up there. Dach is a way better skater, has more strength and has a better shot

 

[Andy]

This is the Dach I remember. Great skating through the neutral zone, smart short passes from the half wall, attacking the net with aggressivity, a pain on the forecheck.

I don’t want to jinx it, but Dach is back?

Dach doesn’t have a better shot than Slaf lol.

Plus weird time for whining about Slaf, he’s been very good on the PP these last 2 games. Especially since he’s back on the right half wall and can control the play. Laine’s goal yesterday doesn’t exist without Slaf.

Definitely is. And he has been shooting on net more than ever, he looks confident.

We don't need him to be a 1C, but we need a pretty good 2C and that means about 25 goals and 60-65 points. Now with Laine and Demi, I'm thinking the assists will be a lot more than that.
