He’s been horrible. Any fan base would be questioning him. Harsh? Maybe in some cases but he has been god awful
He’s been bad. But people are writing him all the way off... Then you get guys re-writing history saying he was never any good at all. It’s ridiculous.
Look, Dach could very well be done. I don’t think so but maybe he’ll never be the guy we hoped he’d be or even the guy he was. But there’s zero patience here. It just blows my mind how people can make the same mistakes over and over and not learn from it. The Slaf thread was a perfect example.
We weren’t going to make the playoffs this year anyway. It’s not like this guy’s costing us a cup. People need to relax a bit.
All that being said, I do think that we need to look for an alternative 2nd line center. At a minimum we need more depth up the middle. If Dach finds his game, great - that means we’ve got extra players who can slide in there. Newhook is better in the wing and is depth scoring so I don’t see him as a viable option. Maybe Demidov but we shouldn’t count on that.
So it’s either a bridge player who can get us through the next couple of years or we look for something more permanent. Either way I don’t think we should depend on Dach to fill the role. If Suzuki gets hurt this team is really toast. There’s no depth there at all right now.
