I'm not saying it's a guarantee, but Dach has all the tools to become our Getzlaf.

Certified stud. Said before the year that he was on the Suzuki/Caufield tier for us and he has proven why.

Good to have him back.
It's one of those situations that him being away allows you to see how much he's developed and how much he contributes to the team. He was such a presence on the ice almost every shift.
I think HuGo may have actually snagged a first line player.

Does anyone not see Hughes giving Dach every chance to solidify his status at C. That is why I don't think we are actively seeking a PLD trade. It would have to be a steal for them to act. IMO
I feel bad for Nick who was obviously overjoyed to have him back. Dach won't be his winger as early as next game.
Ok, I need to say this-
WTF was Chicago thinking trading this kid? He is a RH version of Bobby Smith.

That a mystery box (draft pick) is better than a recently drafted player with some flaws to work through.

You know what it is too
I think in Chicago it always felt like he was on "someone else's team" through no fault of Kane/toes btw, that just happens sometimes
But it feels like NOW his mentality is more "I'm finally on MY team" now, and you just see him thriving because he is now underneath NObodies shadow
I really can't believe we're moving forward with this organized planned roster construction with THIS good an asset to add to the collection

I remember an interview with gorton a few months ago while dach was having success on the wing with the big line.
He was asked about how they see Dach moving forward. Gorton flat out said that he sees dach as a center in the long run.

I think they want Dach at C. But PLD can also play wing and has for much of his career. Ideally I'd want them on the same line with a trigger man.
Dach's production for a 21/22 year old center has been great. He's also brought some other great elements too like his strong board play or his beat-down on Copp earlier this season. I think next season is his true coming out party.

Yeah people look at it wrong IMO
We don't want PLD to push Dach off of C
I want PLD to help Suzuki at C,
Dach and PLD are more Centers that can play great Wing if need be where as Suzuki to me is more of a winger that's SO talented he can play top6 center too
The fact Dach, Suzuki (and if we get him PLD) can ALL play C/W brings an enormous roster versatility that we can constantly tinker with, even DURING a game, could be a huge advantage
Agreed, the C/W flexibility is also something Tampa/Avs use with Stamkos/Point/Cirreli and Rantanen/Landeskog/MacKinnon.
My dream top 6 going into next season:
Dubois - Suzuki - Caufield
Slafkovsky-(Fantilli/Bedard)-Dach
For all you youngsters, the Black Hawks once traded Phil Esposito for Pit Martin among others. It’s in their blood!

Frank Nazar is one of those highly touted prospects who was drafted in the 10-15 range.

Nazar is probably gonna be a good player, liked him when i watched him last year for the draft.
but him and Dach are so far away from the same kind of player that it doesn’t really compare.

Frankly.. PLD or Suzuki could play the wing. Dach shouldn't.

Dach doesn’t seem like a wing player at all. He’s a legit top6 C with upside for more. No need to overthink it.

They were impatient in how they developed him and they were impatient in trading him away.
