I hope Hawks' management are planning to be competitive within 4-5 years. Otherwise, it's a very bad way to do business.No idea how you could say it’s irrelevant. Forwards production reaches its peak from 23-27. This is a hawks team that isn’t competing for anything other than bottom for a good 4-5 years.
Nazar is 18, that means he’ll be 22/23
Dach is 21, that means he’ll be 25/26
Nevermind the fact we’ll be paying for UFA years on Dach and Nazar will be on his RFA contract.
I don’t really see the point of comparing the two at this point or in the future even if Dach is a 60-70 point center. Nazar will be fun to watch. They’re going to be different players. Regardless Dach may have been a red headed stepchild to Davidson who might’ve crippled his development ever worse off.
This all said I’m happy the kid is in a better locker room now. I feel bad he didn’t get the overall development being on the tire fire that was bowman’s wild ride. We had a lot of hope for him here in Chicago
I know rebuilds take time, but you can't plan to be bad for that long (they've finished 20th or lower leaguewide for 5 years already). That would be pretty d*mn direspectful for the fans.
If they traded Dach because they didn't have faith in him anymore, then okay, good for them. But if they did it to fit the « rebuild window », to get the 13th pick, in like the weakest draft in recent history, without even knowing who'd be available... well that's just plain bad management.
