Player Discussion Kirby Dach: Welcome to Montreal

[Mister Hab]

Yup, and you can try different centers with Slaf...doesn't always have to be Slaf-Suzuki-Caufield...although that has the potential to be a very well balanced line.

Slaf-Suzuki-Caufield

Slaf-Dach-Anderson (huge huge line with speed...really wanna see this line happen a few times, but in the end...I'd wanna spread that size to have three balanced lines).

Plenty of time...no rush.

AHL is probably the smart move (plus...we need another top 3 pick in the 2023).

NP Kirby but what about improving your faceoff ability?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hopefully Dach turns it around, but honestly, if the Habs make a trade for PLD I'd rather he's part of it than Dvorak.

Eh, so I wasn't the only one who saw it when I mentioned his mood seemed gloomy in the zoom call.

I don't like this. Seems like self-defeating mindset.

Dach's attitude doesn't re-assure me.

...the kid just got dumped very early in his career by the team that drafted him...give him time...

MSLs does as well as HuGo seeming to do their due diligence

He won't play on a wing in MTL. They badly need centermen. He has to work on his faceoffs skills. I thought Yannick Perreault was working with Hawks centermen on face offs . If Dach did not learn yet, then.....

 

[habsterr]

Should sign him long term for cheap. 5 years at 3 million yolo contract. I assume he re-signs for 2 years tho.

 

[pylero]

This is probably the deal that was rumoured to be done. Petry was vocal about going closer to home, and shipping out Romanov when you know Matheson is coming in makes some sense.

Now, the right side of the defence is a big question mark. The LD is looking jammed and there's an overload of wingers. Since draft day, Hughes has probably been working on fixing this much more than finalizing the details of the Petry trade. If Dubois really does come here, I bet players like Edmundson and Demelo are included in the deal.

edit: dammit wrong thread

That's for Chevaldeyoff to decide.

You're delusional.

What attitude? the kid did absolutely nothing

He's a center to his core, not a winger. He's better having space.

Kinda funny how some are trying to find some problem with his supposed attitude but wanna trade for big baby Dubois!

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...I'm confident in his turnaround here...so much so that I'm ordering a Dach jersey as soon as he figures out his number...











...for my oldest grandson...

He’s as jolly as a heart attack.

 

[Jack Skellington]

I really don't have a good feeling about this guy but heres to hoping

Someone call Michel Therrien quick!

I'd say it was worth trading Romanov for a 15-20% chance of getting the best version of what Dach can become. And his floor is likely 3C.

If you hit, Dach is the jackpot. If you don't, you got a 3C for a 4D. Who cares

Romanov might still be more than a 4th D.

It's funny how for one there could be developmental variation, but for the other, who is just a year older, there's no variation?

Whatever happens to Dach, we traded him for a 4th D?

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

...the kid just got dumped very early in his career by the team that drafted him...give him time...

I heard from Fawks fans that it's his natural disposition. Has nothing to do with him being traded.

His brood is so strong it makes you feel like you're failing at brooding over failing.

You're right. It could happen. I think we saw more of Romanov than Dach though, because of his horrifying wrist injury. So less likely Romanov has more in him than Dach. But could be completely wrong I agree.

I'm not very optimistic about Dach, to tell you the truth.

Perreault being great at faceoffs doesn't automatically means he's good at teaching it.

Could be either/or.
