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

I'm guessing that Chicago would rather have Romanov now than Nazar.

I think any team could use a Romanov, though he isn't specifically one of their biggest needs. Take Nazar out of their prospect pool and their forward corps seems a little thin on dynamic, somewhat proven forward types.

Could is initial knee surgery have been botched?

Nazar has 4pts in his last 5gp and he's putting it together. On an awful team if he can squeeze a 40pt season as a rookie (currently pacing for 37), who would turn that down?

On Dach:

Prior to going down with another injury, we were told often enough that Dach has been enjoying a resurgence. Hockey-reference lumps games in 20gp chunks, Dach's last 20gp chunk was game 41-57 (when he went down). He had 8 pts in 17gp (a 38pt pace) and 1.17 shots on goal in 15min ice time per game. Imagine, this is supposed to be Dach's best span of the season and it's a paltry 38pt pace. This has been a disaster of a season for him.

And getting another injury is just rotten luck. Hopefully he can rehab and recover over summer and surprise everyone.

Start Dach out as 3rd line winger next season. If he can stay healthy, and plays well may move him up. Habs severely needs #2 center next year. Can't rely on Dach to fill the role

Let him start as stated - 4th line winger - and actually earn any promotion up the lineup.

Kirby Dach's are a dime a dozen in jr hockey, stop pretending he was a rare gem

Muffin of a shot and no finish. Seems to lack hockey sense as well. I’m for giving him a chance to redeem himself, but going forward I do not rely on Kirby to be a positive contributor to this team. If he surprises great, we’re up a piece.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

It wasn't included - it was a three way deal.

Chicago got the 13th pick (Islanders) and a 4th rounder Habs
Habs got Dach
Islanders got Romanov and Habs 3rd

As for Nazar, we don't need another 5'10" forward.

A 6 foot 4 guy who can’t play is much closer to whatever need, right??

I didn’t mind the approach at the time. Dach wouldn’t have been the horse I bet on, but I I liked the approach. Sake as newhook

This was you less than a year ago:

So even you agree.

Too many people are disingenuous here and would rather spew useless drivel than have a genuine discussion.

Hage is important to us due to our barren C prospect depth but playmaking C prospects but Playmaking Cs are the least rare in prospect pools. It’s just many many of them never step up.

I guess it’s undeniable Dach’s busting is painful, as would be Hage’s.

Hage is at least tracking well with a splendid D+1.

Kapanen isn't chopped liver either.

Yes.

Lots of seemingly good players get drafted. On average, the Habs draft seven promising players every year, I'm guessing an average of two centers.

But the very best predictor historically seems to be how they do in their D+1, D+2, D+3, etc. If they progress and don't get injured every five minutes, then things look rosy.

I think people just have recency bias and a short memory tbh
