He failed upwards onto the first line. Time to end that experiment. The injury excuse is getting old 17 games into the season.

I say let him eat timbits in the pressbox for a few games.

As if 17 games is a lot.

It took Caufield around 70 games last season to look like himself more and he missed far less games than Dach.

I admire MSL patience. Maybe MSL sees something that we don't see ?!?

I'm more bothered by the fact that Dach is on PP1 and line 1-2 than Matheson on PP1.

Caufield was fine, it’s his shot that was off. Dach is playing low effort and stupid hockey. It’s not just his legs that are off, it’s his brain.

He's showing why the Hawks' GM thought it was a good idea to pass him while he had a good value. Maybe he will go back to what he showed us in the few minutes he played last year... but maybe not.

Not like we have the luxury or the riches to discard a player like him so easily, so until then might as well just ride it out, see what happens.

I totally agree...the kid is struggling mightily. Has he lost a step? He can't complete a simple pass...he is a shell of the player that scored 38 points in 58 games.
Hard to believe a guy could fall like this. His big start last year was only against preseason lineups and 1 NHL game. Small sample size, we could have overrated him.

People underestimate the intensity and speed of the best hockey league in the world. This isnt a long weekend Dach came back from guys, he had a life altering injury and recovered for a solid year. He might not be back to normal until he has a full season under his belt.
