ROY DU NORD!!!
Something to notice is that he is far less physical that he used to be. And this was part of his game. I think he's afraid to get injured so he plays soft and he's all mixed up in the head.

He is so bad. No drive, no hustle and no grit.
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.

Sucks for him that he got injured and all that, but this is the player he's become, and he's no longer useful to this team. Time to move on, he's a failed project.
This isn't a feel sorry league.

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.

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.

17 games is not a lot after a year off and a serious injury. This isn't an established player, he was only coming into his own right before it. He's going to need time.
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.

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.

I've heard players say before knee or lbi hardest to comeback from. They say can't train properly
I still think its pretty early to hit the panic button with Dach but MSL need to make it accountable for is poor play.
He need to skip the first PP until he prove he deserve the spot. Put Gally or Hutson at his spot.
Need to be put on a third line until he find his swagger. There's no excuse now, he need to show something to earn back the first PP and top 6 minutes.
MSL need to shake him a little bit

Yup..............this says it all...........Tenative, and playing gun shy so to speak.
Was expecting the 1st ten games or so, to be tough for him, but expected him to be much better after a understandably slow start.............hasn't happened.
Dach........has to be better, or we pick in the top 5 again.
