Player Discussion Kirby Dach: Welcome to Montreal part 2

[Kimota]

His weak play starts and ends with him not hitting anymore. It was a huge part of his game. It inspired him, it put a fire up his ass, it made him essential as a power forward. But he's afraid to get injured. He has been p***yfied.

Now I see why a team about to undertake a rebuild (Chicago) would not want this player as part of the rebuild. Hughes got fleeced. I would rather have Romanov.

Seriously he needs to sit.

Let's be honest though, I'm sure you'd look at your own posting history before his injury and your comments would have been the opposite. A lot of teams make significant mistakes in whatever state of their teams life cycle they're in. His effort level tonight was brutal, but I wouldn't throw the towel so soon after the good things he's shown since the trade.

I mean Chicago also gave up on Strome for no reason at all so I doubt they big brained that move. Hard not to think about how we could have maybe gotten an actual top 6 center on the assets used on Dach and Newhook.

Rather have Romanov!

I would healthy scratch him next game and would put him back on the center with Caufield as winger the game after

Yé pourri.

Yé pourri.

I saw him at Bell Center tonight and I'm still scratching my head. Lack of effort, he seems unmotivated.
Even Dvorak looked better than him.

I understand he’s no longer popular but I’ll stick with Dach

Waive him. Sunk cost at this point. Bad skater, bad defensively, not physical and to boot he has bad attitude and terrible body language. Living embodiment of a sandbagger. Not a player that deserves to wear the CH.

He's made of glass and coming from a long injury. There's clearly a mental block to his game right now -- and it isn't unusual coming off a big injury -- and he's super frustrated.

There's no need to take any action at this time other than benching him. He needs to be scratched for a game or two. This team's culture has to change.

 

[HuGort]

He has been turning the puck over a lot, no battles

If Dach had Gallagher's work ethic and heart he be best player in game. No problem with skill but he is floating out there.

Dach and Newhook were HuGo mistakes but it's not that they're tied to us for 8 years.
Anyways, they're our tank commanders who will allow us to get much more talented players, so it's crucial that they play out their contracts.
