Player Discussion Kirby Dach: Welcome to Montreal part 2

[Habby4Life]

I will ask it again....why would a team that decides to go full rebuild give up on a 21 year old 6'4 RH center that was drafted 3rd overall? That should have been a red flag visible from outer space.

I agree, I think we are seeing why.

That would mean waiting two more years for Dach.

I feel there’s a difference between “waiting” on the guy like he’s totally going to carry a contending top 6 line in the nhl and somehow save the habs vs keeping him around because of potential on bottom lines and always looking for options.

This thread sounds more polarized than it needs to be imo. Not sure how the spotlight of the green jacket run helps his confidence either playing vs top opposition while rehabbing.

Come on Kirby! Have a breakout game!

It was you that jinxed him

My bad

Sabres are allergic to the Laine.
Laine is in fire, is he fireproof Laine?

He said game, not season

I thought his skating looked better. Had some good passes and stickhandles too. Let's hope its a sign of him turning it around, even if slowly.

Yep, step by step. Won't happen overnight

My analysis is that this guy sucks and is ridiculously lazy. If he doesn't show anything early next season, you just hope that he's a checking bottom 6 winger.

B-but his skating looks better!

His trainer should have his license revoked

Won’t happen over months either apparently. Can’t wait until these positive steps don’t consist of "well he didn’t shit in his pants tonight so that’s good"

Now he needs to work on his balance.
He finds himself on his keister more than he should.
Size obviously isn't the issue but he seems weak on his pins.

Can't believe Washington didn't see the massive red flags on two teams giving up on a 3rd OA

Strome wasn't 2 goals in 31 games and league worst plus/minus bad though. Dach has long way to go

Not the point I was making. He had a great game tonight, too.
