Florida built highly talented depth by acquiring former early picks whos clubs had grown impatient with them. They have a cluster of really high draft picks who are in the 25-30 year range. Montreals top picks are in the 19-25 year range as of now (excluding Laine). If it's a copycat league I can see what HuGo is trying to do.

 

[Habs]

Could it be MSL is forcing him to play in a certain way?

Could very well be, MSL seems to be a guy that likes to tell players these things.

 

[Habs]

He has a turn radius like a cruise ship, nothing drives me more crazy than watching him do a slow loop to get back onside in the offensive zone, or a quick trip behind the opponents net when the puck is already heading up ice

It’s clear he’s paranoid about making any sharp turns at all with his knees, which makes him useless as a player

Unless Hughes manages to pull a rabbit out of a hat, chances are Dach will be centering in the top 6.
Just hope for his sake that he comes to camp in tip top shape.
I'm of the one of very few that is ready to give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[BozoTheClown]

Don't putting word in your mouth but you say he's not a gamer or a winner, the guy had freak injury since junior, don't know the guy but injury can take a lot on the mental, like I said all he have to do is be injury free, it's not like his skill have vanish in the air suddenly, he can still be a top 6 C 60 points plus per year with his playmaking skill with Demidov, again he will need to have a very good summer we all know that and the contract year should be an extra motivation for him, I don't want to say it's is last chance for him from me cause there's a lot of things I don't know, but what can i do I love those huge skilled forward and beside him and Slaf, well...

It’s in the team’s best interest for Dach to prove me wrong. There is a reason Chicago let him go.

If Dach was truly serious he would spend this summer in Montreal rehabilitating. Whatever he did last summer didn't work.

Yes and I would like to find out if that’s the plan.

You still need games to get back into it and be inform. It’s not just being ‘’ready’’ or having your injury being rehabilitated. It took Caufield a season to be himself again. Dach it will take a while too.

 

[Ozmodiar]

worse case scenario I am hoping Dach can reinvent himself as a gritty 3rd line winger. He has a mean streak and his first season with the habs he was fantastic on the cycle game and winning battles. If he can come back with an edge, strong board play, a chippiness as a bottom 6 it would at least salvage some aspect of the risk taken on him.

He wouldn't be the first player to turn it around from multiple early-career injuries, but the odds are against him. My expectations of him are very low at this point. I'm hoping he can bring back the magic of his first season with the habs.

A good cycle game won’t impress Marty tho. He doesn’t think it accomplishes anything. Dangerous ice not in the corners.

He prefers retrieval then quick movement, low to high.

It's always funny to see X player took X years to explode, let's be patient with Y player. We can do that with almost any player.

Every struggling tall 1st rounder is Tage Thompson

Every 20-30pts top 5pick F is Sam Bennett

Kirby is both!

Without injuries, I'm a still huge believer of Kirby Dach. Isn't question of his talent or production... he is really his healthy concern.

Everything can happen, I still hope he can just stay healthy and don't be afraid to be hurt again, because his 1st year with Habs... he prove that he can become a dominate player.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

If we start the year with this injury prone failed experiment as our 2C again I won't even bother watching, I've seen more than enough of that plug.

Agreed that we cannot start with Dach at 2C. But I’m not throwing the towel yet

I think he can easily start at 3C and replace Dvorak to see if he can stay healthy. Acquire a 2C is the goal for the offseason.

 

[Goldthorpe]

I trust Dach performing with Demidov way more than I trusted him performing with Laine.

I don't know where I read/heard the observation, but Dach tend to shadow and accentuate his wingmen style. Laine slows the game (way too much) and Dach had to play slower too with him, which doesn't work. He needs someone who can up the tempo for him, and 'midov does this naturally.

And anyway, it's not like we'll have much choice, baring some great trade for a C.

Yeah but they let a few young players go they shouldn't have like Panarin, Reinhart .. they are an odd franchise
