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

[Lafleurs Guy]

Newhook is fine, he is just playing with two players who are immature and don't come to play every night. The Newhook hate is plain stupid.

Newhook is inconsistent. Should have more production than he does but he also has no finish. He’s a frustrating player.

Totally fair to blame some of that on Dach for the first part of the season but a Dach’s been much better than Newhook since mid December.

He wasn't what the Blackhawks hoped he would be either, but that doesn't mean we can't use him to his strengths. It would be bad if the team ran him into the ground, because they thought he could flourish into a fantasy and they were stubborn about it.

What are his strengths?

...Newhook can't finish, that's not on Dach or Laine or anyone else...

What are his strengths?

Physical player who drives to the net and creates chances. He’s been doing that a lot.

 

[ReHabs]

What are his strengths?

He’s stronger than he looks and can dig the pucks out as well as he can carry them. He’s also a got good passing vision. If he has fire in his eyes he is a tough player to play against.

I genuinely like him and his promise. I don’t like him as the Habs 2C given his tendency to crater and crash for damn near a full season after an injury.

Best would be if he kicks as next year as a second line winger and finds his spot there.

What are his strengths?

Driving the net, uses his physic in control of the puck.

I think we should tune the physical aspect a little when he doesn't have the puck. As a center his hits don't separate opponents from the puck often enough in the offensive zone. On the wing though..

For sure he needs to be a winger and develop a power forward mentality but I just am not sold on this player.

...he definitely needs to be a winger...
