So Strome is gone, now Dach is gone. If Mitchell gets traded, Musto will go from calling Davidson "generational" to calling him a "nightmare".
Confirmed with Link: Kirby Dach to Montreal for 13th and 66th overall picks

Good riddance, happy I don’t need to pretend to root for the guy anymore.
Pretty decent return too.

Doubt it, that would require Dach actually playing to his size and potential

The accountability era?
Interesting (if not pathetic) that in this draft politics are playing a larger part than the NHL would like.... I.E. Russians being ignored despite their obviouss talent.
Will Hawks pounce? I think so ... the way Davidson is going..

Too early to trade him. He deserved better coaches and a better situation than what he got here in Chicago.

Russian goalie just got likely sent to arctic military unit against his will (A unit that is essentially punishment) and other Russians face being forced into army at time of a war
It's very much an issue teams need to consider. Also, its possible they could be barred in future by Russian government from leaving Russia ala Soviet Union
I am one of those draft "Russians" all the time guys and even I wouldn't draft them high in this draft right now given situation
Would grab them in later rounds though

He’s a good skater, long reach and stick. Flashes on offense yes. Can win board battles when engaged.To pass happy at times.
Face offs suck. Can stand to be much more physical with his size.

I'm actually more ok with this trade than the Cat trade, but you still just traded a 3OA pick that had a botched development path, and a bad wrist injury, for 13OA...
I think they're giving up on Dach too early, but only time will tell. Kid at least deserved a coach other than JC and King... (lol)

Not "politics", just using their brain. Awful risky to take a guy who likely will get conscripted and/or unable to leave Russia.

Possible
But at same time the Hawks holding onto him was great risk because another year of struggle and his value would collapse
This draft very well may have been best chance to salvage value and I am fine with it
It's risky that he may work out in Montreal but at same time I think Hawks have good shot to come out ahead here as I am not sold on Dach

Cant shoot, cant win a faceoff, plays small, couldnt produce with kane and cat. I think its far more likely he was just overdrafted and isnt very good than it is he ever becomes a good top 6 center.
It's common sense. A hockey player just got thrown into the f***ing military over there because he wanted to leave to play hockey... How can anyone risk a 1st round pick on that?

He showed plenty of flashes to think he could develop into a monster.
I do like the pick they took, though, so we'll see.

Size skating and hands. Smooth skater.
Weaknesses are his shot willingness to battle and faceoff. He feels like every Habs center they've had for the past while.

Guess we just disagree. His best stretch was 1 playoff series against the worst defensive team in the league where he still wasnt putting the puck in the net.

You know it's not xenophobic when BWC is arguing against drafting Russians.

Welp gonna have to change my username again. Any suggestions?
Also, I actually like the trade. Nazar has a chance to be very good. I thought Korchinski got drafted a bit too high (he was top-15 probably for me but not top-10), but Nazar likely could’ve gone top-10. Flip the order we got these two in and I’m happy.
