Player Discussion Kirby Dach: Welcome to Montreal

[cave troll]

My god. 13OA for a bust who never managed to score at least 10 in 3 NHL seasons???????

Just when I thought there can't be anyone worse than Bergy &Timmins, these 2 surprised me with this draft.

 

[jaffy27]

We traded from a position of strength and filled a need. I just hope Dach pans out because Romanov was a solid 2nd pairing dman.



Do you even know who's going to be going at 13th in a few minutes from now? I'm going to assume no.

In a vacuum, it's Romanov + 2nd + 4th for Dach.

I'm sad to lose Romanov.....I loved his style, my replacement for Emelin......

Will give Dach a chance....kid is 21....this can be the year where he takes off....we'll see

Is no one else concerned that 3 teams decided that Wright wasnt the answer? I mean I feel like these scouts might see something we dont, could be a huge bullet dodged.

NJ needed a D more than a C.
AZ wanted a dynamic American.

My guess is they don't like his personality.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

WHO you have at 13 for us to pick??

I don't know, let wait till we see who's available, but Dach looks like a bust.

 

[Rob Sense]

We now have Duch and Bustofsky

 

[Frank Drebin]

I really liked Dach in his first season, hopefully he turns out for us.

 

[417]

Yeah Dachs junior numbers arent even very impressive its tough to get excited about hopefully its a big brain move and they are high on him and know they can work with him

Neither were Ryan Getzlaf's...just saying lol

 

[Habidelidoo]

Meh. Don't like this. Too risky for the price paid.

I have this bad feeling we just added 2 busts to the roster in a 39 minutes span

 

[jaffy27]

Feels like the Griffin Reinhart trade

could be the Bertuzzi trade also......

the irony of posters shitting on Timmins for selecting Romanov, and then shitting on the ORG. for trading a player they shat on for a 6'4 C that's formally a 3rd overall....in 2019

Posters want swing for the fence's....??......well here it is

 

[Riggins]

Dach looked like a future stud in the Covid bubble. Then I believe he hurt his wrist and it's been ugly since. He's pass first to a fault though. He has the size but doesn't use it to punish anyone.

 

[jaffy27]

I don't know, let wait till we see who's available, but Dach looks like a bust.

Okk.......I'll be giving you a shout shortly

It's clear no one is drafting for need, otherwise we would have taken Wright. NJ and AZ likely thought Wright wasn't BPA

Any excuse is good for a nice bowel movement. I get it.

 

[Maxime Bernier]

I'm not a fan of this trade. I was thrilled to have Guhle and Romanov on the left side. Both of them would have been hard to play against. I guess the upcoming defensemen are good enough to make Romanov dispensable.

For Dach, time will tell if he can find a second gear. I was under the impression that he had the opportunity to have offensive role in Chicago. 26 pts in 70 games is worrying. However, we do get bigger. Maybe a new environment is all he needs.

In the end, I respect Hugues. He takes a lot of risk. Next season will be interesting despite a predicable poor performance of the team.

 

[Ezpz]

Hawks fans don't seem torn up which is always a bad sign you didn't win a trade.

Teravainen also traded at 21 if I recall. Didn't look like he'd break in the way he did.

 

[jaffy27]

are we making a move for Lekkeramaki??

 

[beowulf]

I understand if people are unhappy trading good assets for a struggling young player, but he played for a garbage coach on a garbage team last year and missed most of the already shortened season before to injury. He still has a tonne of potential and is worth a buy low opportunity.

Except they paid high.

 

[Hannibal]

Yeah probably, looking at how Hugo are handling players and drafting.

Its easy to sell players for picks, its much harder to turn this into NHL value.

Honeymoon over, heh?

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

are we making a move for Lekkeramaki??

If he's available at #13...

 

[Mrb1p]

Honeymoon over, heh?

Are you happy with the moves? Oh wait 6'4 ncm

Swing for the fences, sure, but at least pick your pitch right.

I get what you're saying though

 

[BenchBrawl]

We basically got Dach for nothing. Romanov was good, but he was incredibly expendable with the prospects we have. In the rebuild-for-a-contending-window timeline, I'd much rather gamble on Dach than keeping Romanov.

 

[Tuggy]

Hopefully MSL can get him going.
