Yup, since Dach moved to the No. 1 line, he has 4 points in 3 games. More importantly , Suzuki has 3- 3-6 totals in those three games, while Caufield had two goals, giving him eight on the season. Dach is better playmaker.

Dach isn't durable. Poor on faceoffs and defensive liability in own end. Team way better last two games.
I also feel having Slaf with Suzuki and Cole is putting all your eggs in one basket. I think Slaf can be more of a threat on the second line than Dach at this current point in time with the skill we have available there.

Dach was looking very good on wing and in no time, he was back at center where he is obviously not up to the task currently.

Dach -12 just 10 games into season.
It's an "on the ice" stats and more representative of the players on the ice at that moment than an individual.

Except that Dach has the most GA at even strenght on the team and poor production. But Newhook/Armia aren't much better. The new lines will be interesting. Slaf is the only +1 forward.

Who is the most over-rated player in the team ? It can't be Dvorak, Anderson, Armia nor Gallagher. It can't be Caufield nor Guhle.

The possible choices: Suzuki, Slaf, Dach, Newhook, Evans, Matheson, Hutson, Xhekaj. What would be your choice of the most over-rated player ?

My pick is Dach. He isn't good enough to be 2C. Xhekaj would be my 2nd pick.

Dach is a top 6 player IMO. Centre or not.

Personally, I think Xhekaj might be the most overrated

Back at center when he got Newhook and Armia.

That combination is a soul sucking, play killing entity that Marty loves.

Let's see how he does without that ghastly duo shackled to him down the middle.

He’s sound asleep and 2 secs late reacting to everything from coverage to opportunity, and has 0% deception in his game to go with it. Literally can’t make a pass not picked off. Dach ship has sailed, already time to move on.

Almost sounds like he's missed significant time and needs to get back up to speed. How are having this conversation ? The reason is literally that he's coming off an injury and needs time.

Takes nothing away from him as a person, I’m sure he’s a nice kid. I can be empathetic and still see he sucks, knowing it’s because he has barely played hockey as an adult changes nothing to that fact.

Have the habs become a reality show or are we still paying to watch hockey games here?

Are we contenders this year? No right?

It’s a transition year anyway. So let the guy find his game.
