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

Guhle's injury this year was a fluke. It's like Price cutting Markov's achilles

I wasn't just referring to this years injury. Every time he leaves the bench, most of us are wondering if he's coming back to the game.

He does have Erik Cole itis. Often leaves the game or in pain on the bench

Injuries turned them from elite to very good. Dach is average. These injuries will make him below average.

It’s also crazy to suggest it’s just a label when he’s never had a full healthy season dating back to the WHL. Like how can you say with a straight face that there’s nothing to the label of injury prone when he’s taking the most basic of physical contact and is OFS.

There's for sure an argument that all the missed time will have a serious negative impact on what his peak performance level. But that's a different argument to he's an injury prone player who will never stay healthy.

To be fair I think there are some legit cases. Just take a look at the list of bandaid boys on DobberHockey and you'll see these guys rarely put together some full seasons

Which would also be true if it was all just luck, there's a large enough sample size of players that you'll get even the very unlikely outcomes.
