LW/C Colton Dach - Saskatoon Blades, WHL (2021, 62nd, CHI)

[CristianoRonaldo]

Weird that Chicago drafted him and then traded away his brother.

Maybe the whole plan was to trick a team into thinking they were getting Kirby, while they trade Colton... Obviously, it did not work.

 

[FourQuarters]

c'mon. Colton is 19 yo, not a baby who couldn't live without his parents. As we Rockets fans say, he has proved he is not just playing in Kirby's shadow. Next season may be tough for him and Rockets, let's just wait and see how he handles the bigger challenge.

 

[FourQuarters]

Some guys may watch Kelowna games for cristall this season, so I'd like to know how you think about Colton Dach. Because I feel like his play was a little weird, didn't like himself. I don't know how to describe…

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Like every other good player traded in the WHL as of late - he is going to Seattle.

Adding Dach today and also Brad Lambert pretty soon is insane for Seattle

 

[landy92mack29]

Kinda seems unnecessary from Seattle point, they already had a insane forward group but kinda still need 1 more top 4 dman. Decent return for Kelowna and smart to move him....wonder how long he's hurt for though

Their top 9 is outta control right now... And Lambert still hasn't technically been sent there yet. It's happening but just hasn't quite yet

Unsure when he's back playing but apparently it's "well before playoffs begin"......

"While Colton is currently recovering from an injury, we expect him to be back well before the playoffs begin,” says La Forge. “He is a big, talented center that provides us with another offensive weapon as we chase our Championship goals.”

I had the same question when I saw the trade announced - when will he be ready to play. I thought I read somewhere that he would be out about 6 weeks - is that incorrect?

I believe it's around the 8 week mark .. should be back about end of Feb/start March.

So if it's start of March, he will get in about 12 regular season games before playoffs start

Rockets GM said that will be 8 weeks.

Agreed. Seattle has 3 no.1 lines now. There is only 1 puck after all.

Making his debut tonight with Seattle ..

Oh and by the way, this lineup is insane....

Colton Dach best Dach

7 goals (9 points) in 8 games

 

[TLEH]

When healthy he is a very good player. Big, physical, good hands, but can also skate. I think he is an NHL player if he can stay healthy. Tough with them Dach injury genes.

 

[Mikey09]

Im glad he is doing pretty good after being injured many times in last couple of years. I have been a huge fan of him during his draft year and wanted Columbus to draft him with their late 1st that year.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Seems to be finding his groove as pro

 

[ello]

10 pts in 10 AHL games. if he can stay healthy could be a great power forward for the Hawks

 

[Dominance]

I’ve always had my doubts about this kid - but that AHL production is fantastic. Would push that Blackhawks rebuild a little further ahead if he became a strong middle-6er.

Not only that...but NHL debut against his brother tomorrow.
