Love his game, smart, tenacious, carries the puck well and wins most of his battles , hopefully we can improve his face off numbers.At only 21 i think his ceiling is sky high, it's like having a second center on the first line. Caught an episode on On-Jase we're Tourigny said don't be fooled by Dach's uninterested look they actually had to calm him down because he lives and breathes the game. Oh well so far so good hopefully this kid turns out to be a Gem.
True, but it may come to a point where it just makes more sense to keep him as a winger. Instead of trying to force a round peg into a square hole. As you mentioned, it's still way too early. So management has time to figure out what direction they're going to go in.
I do think management went into the deal acquiring a diamond in the rough center that they could develop into a full fledged top 6C.
The only reason HuGo managed to pull out this trade was because our pipeline of LD was loaded!
The best is to built the team player by player. Trio line by brio line. The best fits will come naturally. Beck can be a solution. Monahan too. An ufa signing or another trade. I trust Gorton and Hughes, they will find a solution. Maybe it's Dubois or maybe someone else who is not on the radar.
I believe that was their original intentions. It may still be their intentions after a short period of time. Allowing Dach to increase his confidence. It's still early, but if Dach continues developing a strong chemistry with Suzuki and Caufield. It wouldn't surprise me if they leave him there. While pivoting in another direction to find another top 6 C.
Good job missing what OP was trying to say.
Naaaah, that guy is a center!
lol your confidence is refreshing. I'm more of a wait and see kind of guy. Once Dvorak or Monahan is moved. We'll find out if the bolded part is true.
That would make a fine thread on the main board.
He just plays like a center, he's great in zone entries and is a great passer, with the body he has, it's center for sure...
Your hero used to say that trading for star players were hard and that #1 centermen were simply not available.
He'll definitely get another look there at some point I'd say. Too early to typecast him as a winger.
Plenty of stuff you can shit on MB for. I'd say trades weren't really one of them. He made plenty of good ones. Only the Drouin trade as far as I can think of was bad.
