Yuck. Worse than Armia's deal.

 

[Andy]

In a cap era you sometimes need to gamble on young talent. If Dach breaks out it will allow the habs to allocate savings elsewhere

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Decent deal that could be very good
Dach could easily start being worth more than 3.36 M starting this season

 

[Adam Michaels]

Dach will be 25 when this contract ends and he will be an RFA when the contract is up.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Good bet.

Probably overpaid for a year or two, while we don't really need cap space anyway. Then hopefully he's underpaid for the last two years, when we'll start being more competitive.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Would’ve preferred a 2 year deal at that kind of money.

I guess the best case scenario is he’s a underpaid by this time next year or the following, or worst case he’s an overpaid 3rd/4th liner in the 2nd half of the deal.

Cheaper than KK

 

[That Habs Fan]

Cheaper than KK

Maybe Dach gets a bonus for minutes spent on his feet.

Anywho, hoping Dach's wrist doesn't hold him back, if so he'll be worth the 3.36 and then some.

Good bet to make! Fine with that.

Not even close.

3.3625M

It's less than Byron, Armia and Hoffman.......so not terrible, if Dach put it all together it's a huge win but at that salary, if he manage to be at least good enough to be a 3rd line, won't be a problem down the road at that age.

 

[Supersonic]

Great value and signing. Glad they got 4 years.

Not to mention, Dach is still an RFA when this deal ends and he will only be 25 years old. So if all goes well, he could be hitting his prime when his next deal is signed.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Happy to have Dach locked up! Am expecting big things! Love that he’s still an RFA at the end of this.

Armia and Dach's deal aren't related

this should motivate the kid ..

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

He's no Lars Eller but hopefully can be a good third liner going forward

 

[Tyson]

Cheaper than KK

Yeah I think Dach has much more upside.

 

[Peteux]

As I said in the other thread, I guess something else is coming. The cap is 82,5 M$ and now they have a projected cap hit of 92,7 M$.

In the offseason, teams can go 10 % higher that the salary cap, but the Habs are over the 10 %. I guess I'm missing something or something else is coming.

It would have been less at 2 years.

That's the idea.
