Confirmed with Link: Kirby Dach to Montreal for 13th and 66th overall picks

[CallMeShaft]

I still think he could've turned into a nice piece if he wasn't so injury prone.

Unfortunately his body is made of glass. Same reason I have zero expectations for Colton.

 

[Pertti]

Better return than I expected.

Didn't want him to be traded but...

Still agreed.

 

[WarriorofTime]

The season after this one, he's an Arb-Eligible RFA with a $4 million Q.O. that will be one year removed from UFA. Never really fit the timeline and I doubt he'd return better than what he did going forward.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Still don't miss him.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Should’ve taken Byram

I had a preference of Byram at the time and Turcotte if not Byram. Guess it didn't matter, outside of Hughes the top 5 picks all suck.

Yeah disappointing draft regardless. Man, I remember people talking about Kakko like he was the next Hossa. Really gotta get lucky with these picks.

Boldy ended up being the guy you take at three. Zegras, holy hell did Anaheim ruin him. Once dynamic and now looks completely lost.

I’ll just pretend Hawks took Vlasic at 3 and be happy about that.

You can make the claim the Hawks ruined Dach too. They definitely rushed him.

The HLLYWD99 curse of 71 lives!!!

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Habs fans were so high on him too.

Habs fans would convince themselves Brodie is a second pairing guy and argue it to death if we sent him packing to Montreal.

Would be interesting to see where Vlasic would go in a redraft.

i think top 15 is pretty easy with hindsight.

Hughes and Seider are a lock over him.

Boldy over him too, I think.

I probably take Vlasic over Caufield and Cozens. Definitely Vlasic over Zegras for me.

hughes seider and boldy for sure. caufield maybe, but 4 or 5 seems right to me.

I give Vlasic the edge because his size, skating, and skills combo are so unique it’s impossible to find replace that.

Don’t forget Harley

 

[Toews2Bickell]

return for Dach might end up better than the one for Cat

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

You know I know +/- is not a great judge but fact Dach continues to routinely show up with worst +/- on Habs nightly raises eyebrows

Again a -2 today (Now a -14 in 12 games) with no pts and also 2/5 at dot

You mean Nazar being better than Korchinski?

I've known that for years!

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Just want to add, I don't care about the specific return. The whole point of the tear down of disposing the Hawks older & younger talent was just increasing the odds. Having 3X the amount of picks in the first few rounds in theory should yield better results but it's still a gamble and gamble we should have reservations about.

So, whatever happens in the end is much more dependent not on this trade but on whether or not we score some great players outside of the Bedard/Lev picks.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Dach last 6 games

no points and -5

1 goal + 4 assists and a -14 in 15 games

His ice time has also been cut it appears in recent games

 

[GIADF]

On pace for 27 points in -77....

And people were giving Bedard crap about his +/- last year on a team full of AHLers while being about as young of a rookie as you can possibly be.

+/- is a stat of convenience as in the above. Means nothing but then again it means something.
