Player Discussion Kirby Dach: Welcome to Montreal part 2

[tooji]

Dach and Slaf on a line would be damn sexy to watch. Would finally give us 2 lines to watch

The evolution of Slafzuki says that Dach will need a different LW.

 

[morhilane]

Kirby is on the ice!

He started skating a few weeks ago. Still a few months before he's cleared to play (Dvorak was practicing with the pre-camp group back in August and wasn't cleared to play until November).

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Slaf and Dach would be incredible together. Both of them are really good at driving the play.

Not a bad idea to have them on separate lines though. If you do that they’re both driving the play and you get two good lines going. Slaf gets Suzuki and Dach gets Caufield. Then Roy and Newhook fill in the lines. I’d probably put Newhook with Nick as there was success before. You’d have two good lines next year.

It’d be fun to have Slaf with Dach though… they’d give fits to the opposition.

This is great news because I expected this step in the process at around April honestly

It's been a bit over 4 months since the injury so I expected him back on ice in month 6 or 7

It bodes great because he will legit have all offseason to get right back into playing shape

It's the ONLY fortunate thing about this whole thing was that it happened in October instead of like January or something

Miss you boo!

Next years gonna be funnnnn

 

[Jaynki]

Dont rush anything

Indeed, but if he is ready and has the green light, it is not rushing anything.

Slaf-Dach-Newhook annihilated Toronto game 1 of THIS season
People forget lol

Pretty shrewd of HuGo knowing they inherited a great Duo in Suzuki-Caufield and what do they do? Add two 6"4 top 6 players in a span of 20 minutes..lol

With another possibly coming this draft, and who knows who we could trade for as well
All of a sudden the rebuild is looking like something special
(And I actually really like Newhook, but if we can construct a top6 that pushes him to 3rd line, you profit even more)

 

[EveryDay]

He needs to stay healthy ffs. It all depends on him. If he’s healthy, he can solve our center problem. If not, we’re in deep trouble.

Unless we trade for Zegras in case he's injured again!

 

[Paddyjack]

Zegras is also fragile anyway

 

[EveryDay]

Zegras is also fragile anyway

Is he? outside of this year when was he injured?

Yeah it’s enticing but I agree with you that at this point maybe Caufield should be the one departing that line and Slaf stays with Nick. It’s gonna be exciting next year, I know my days of rooting for the habs to lose will end with the current regular season.

There will be a lot of *Good* experimentation in the top6 next year for the first time in my life

Instead of throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks

Personally I think they try Slaf-Dach again to start the year
But if they went Slaf-Zuke, Dach-Cole to try... well I can't really see what would be wrong with at least trying it lol, it could even work

 

[WeThreeKings]

I'm gonna be so excited for the day they go Slaf-Suzuki and Caufield-Dach on separate lines.

 

[Redux91]

I'm gonna be so excited for the day they go Slaf-Suzuki and Caufield-Dach on separate lines.

I could see Roy on with Suzuki/Slaf since they do a lot of heavy lifting, and Roy passing and scoring ability could translate well with those 2 more than with Dach-Cole I would think

Dach-Cole need like a ... Lindstrom or something
It'll probably be Newhook to start, OR, again, that mystery top6 player I keep holding out on that we trade for in the summer

 

[Captain Mountain]

I'm gonna be so excited for the day they go Slaf-Suzuki and Caufield-Dach on separate lines.

I'm going to be so excited when Montreal adds the finishing pieces to the core that let Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky by the 1A/1B line.

 

[KevSkillz4]

No doubt Suzuki, Caufield, Slaf and Dach are all first line talent. Dach need only to stay healthy and he is a PPG type of player, he is that good.

I'm happy to have these 4 beauty on Habs team!

 

[Milhouse40]

I'm gonna be so excited for the day they go Slaf-Suzuki and Caufield-Dach on separate lines.

And I'm going to do backflips for the PP of

Slafkovsky
Caufield Dach Suzuki
Hutson

 

[the valiant effort]

Dach just might prove to be the aciest of all the possible aces in holes across the league.

 

[GrandBison]

At some point everyone will play with everyone. I know we are not used to that flexibility.

Can't remember the last time the team had 4 legitimate young top 6 forwards on it

I can't remember what is a legitimate top 6 forward.

 

[yianik]

Can you imagine if Isles would had kept Toews instead of trading him to Colorado ?

Can you imagine if MB had offered our 2 more valuable 2nd rounders and gotten Toews instead ?

Toews benefits a lot of playing with Makar. Not sure he would look like a star playing with Savard.

I'm thinking more about our finals appearance. MB assembled a solid D but he left out a PMD or two and Toews would have fit the bill.

 

[LaP]

Yep i feel like this would be better duo with a big body on both line.

Add Cayden Lindstrom to that and mama mia
