Nazar was available, I'll rather have him.

What a bad trade...

 

[Habs13]

I'd rather Nazar over Dach, and Romanov over both. Dumb moves.

Oh no...too bad faceoffs are something no centerman has ever improved on in the history of the NHL.

What a small thing to whine about, Dach will get better. He's 21. Habs will get him a faceoff coach if he doesn't get better at the pace they want.

the move is only dumb if Dach fails and Nazar and Romanov become great players..... you are not privy to that information....you may not like the trade, doesn't make it dumb,

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Well clearly theyre going for a big team.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Can someone tell him, there was a terrible mistake and he was never traded?

 

[WG]

Nazar was available, I'll rather have him.

What a bad trade...

YMMV but I'd kind of agree that the pick available at 13 (be it Nazar or Kemell or Lekkerimaki) would be better than Dach but HuGo have been good so far and I will trust them on this.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

sergachev vs drouin vs dach vs romanov

Dach reminds more of a certain Ben Pouliot.

 

[Merci Saku]

Some of you guys sure loved to hype new shiny toys

Nazar have good potential but the same of y’all would have cheer like crazy if we got Dach last year

what a take

I mean, stats don't lie, they're atrocious faceoff stats. It's not a ''take''.

 

[blarneylad]

Kirby Dach welcome aboard. I really hope you are the best 3rd overall this team drafted or acquired in the last 20 years

 

[Mackiaveli]

Anyone with better knowledge willing to update the rest of us? He was a amazing prospect in his draft year, that I remember. What's happened since?

Bad coach, bad team. I would almost argue bad team culture. I remember Dach was outstanding in his Sophmore season before he fell and broke his wrist.

Dach is what we drafted Jesperi to be, and I think with a new team, new culture, and MSL as the head coach, he could rebound and be a great pickup. He got drafted 3OA for a reason, it wasn't a stretch at the time either.

 

[DailyKaizen]

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

No offense but the sample size of the Hawks fans you used to make that claim does not give enough wait that on average the "fans" are not as intelligent as "HuGo" or those professionals who make a living evaluating sports assets.

 

[Bacchus1]

Isn't Dach an RFA? If we can sign him at a low number for a long term, then it could be good. He has potential. With a good coach and system, can he get to his potential?

 

[Clearedwaivers]

Romanov for the 13th was a great trade; however, giving that pick for Dach sucks.

He looks to be injury prone and hasn't lived up to his potential so far. I'm hoping for the best, but I think we overpaid for Dach.

Edit: Reading the opinions of Chicago fans it seems they nicknamed him Bambi because he's unable to stay on his feet and he's abysmal on the faceoff dot.

LMAO, did we just acquire Chicago's KK?

Maybe the Canes offer sheet him at the first opportunity, and we get a first rounder for him.

 

[Corky]

Maybe it’s Gorton trying to pull another Zibanejad out of his hat.

 

[Film Noir]

Holy crap. Nice mitts.

 

[McFly2544]

Love the move!

wrist injury and Covid set him back…gonna be a stud

Hey, KK & Galchy got drafted at 3ovr for a reason too!

Imagine taking Dach before Caufield, Boldy, Zegras… lmao

These guys are ripping up the NHL and Dach is already traded. We went from KK to KD, Kraft dinner.

THIS ^^^

last year at the trade deadline? no way, dach was dogshit last year, while playing with Kane and Debrincat

 

[montreal]

He had 33 pts in his first 80 NHL games, interested to see what the next few years bring for him, as I said many times with KK, you need to give these big kids time to grow and develop.
