Confirmed Trade: [MTL/CHI] Kirby Dach for 2022 1st-round (13OA), 2022 3rd-round (66OA)

[PromisedLand]

Hawks are stupid to trade Each especially when they're rebuilding. They didn't learn from the Trainerovao trade?

Am almost positive hawks are gonna be in the bedard sweepstakes with a very high probability.

I think hawks may ask patty kane to waive and then trade him as well for a rebuild

 

[crashthenet]

Wonder what Luke Richardson is thinking? Hope they don't fire me before these guys make it to the show.

 

[cska78]

I don't pretend to understand everything in hockey, but if chicago is going through a rebuild why trade 21 y.o. and 24y.o. players, one with potential and one a star in the making....

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

Romanov + 98th + 66th for Dach, it's not that much but I don't think if it's the right move. I also don't know much about Dach.

"I don't know much about the guy, but I feel that like they didn't go up too much"

LOL WHAT

if you don't know much about him, how can you assess his value? Smh

 

[BSHH]

Dach suddenly is supposed to have a high ceiling?

In German, it always is: Dach means roof.

Good trade by Habs.

Romanov will be a good #4 but will never be a top pairing defenseman. If Dach can be a big #2 center for them, then it's easily a win.

With MSL as a coach I think Dach is gonna do a lot better with the habs than with the hawks

 

[Lolonegoal]

Dach still riding his 3 overall label.. the guy isn't that good

Eh Montreal fans know all about riding the 3rd overall label, you don't have to warn us

It's not much from the habs side...how do you not connect the dots on that.

Those picks were expendable, we went into this draft with 14 picks and 10 in the first 3 rounds.

Losing Romanov hurts but we traded from a position of strength.

A 13th overall pick isn't exactly what I'd call "not much" but to each their own

 

[AuraSphere]

Dach is bust - MTL would have killed this draft if they got Nazar + Slaf

 

[Lolonegoal]

Feels like Montreal just traded for another kotkaniemi.

Eventually the 3rd overall pick has to turn out, right?

 

[AuraSphere]

I disagree. id rather have a future core of

Suzuki-Caufield
Dach-Slafkovsky
Guhle-Barron

than

Suzuki-Caufield
Wright
Romanov-Guhle
Barron

Except it coudl have been

Suzuki-Caufield
Nazar - Slafkovsky

Mark my words - Nazar will be an elite player

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Dach came in as 3rd O, but has shown little in 3 years. Why the rush? Slaf and Dach look like potential busts. I am regretting Bergevin, believe it or not.

We don't need nor want fans like you.

The 13th wouldn't be there without Romanov...it was essentially a 3-way trade.

Most likely, Habs went to Chicago and offered Romanov and Chicago said no. Habs went and got a mid-round pick instead.

 

[TheRumble]

This draft must be really bad. I've never seen multiple teams just casually trade lottery slot picks like this.

Could have traded Romanov for the 13th then kept it...just sayin'

My guess is the habs likely wanted a center that could step in right away which is why they went for Dach over an 18yo pick that would take a few years to play in the NHL.

I'm not saying I love the trade at all, I'm just saying I understand it. I would have kept Romanov but again, time will tell if the habs won or lost this trade.

 

[Reddwit]

Hate giving up Romanov, but I think it's worth buying low on a guy that still has great potential.

Would have prefered to just draft Wright though *sigh*

On what planet is giving up a 13OA+ “buying low”?

13th overalls are almost always misses...the draft becomes a crapshoot after the 10th overall.

Slaf looks like a potential bust? This place...

 

[MXD]

I'd definitely rather have Wright/Cooley + Romanov than Slafkovski + Dach...

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Young unproven D for young unproven C . Don’t see how it’s a fleecing for anyone . I did like Romanov but Habs do have young D coming and Guhle should be in the nhl next season .

[boredmale]

I really don't get this from a Chicago POV. "Power Forwards" usually take longer to reach their peak level

 

[Mr Positive]

Great move from Montreal imo. Picks can be such dice rolls, especially outside of the top 10. It seems Chicago was intent on moving him
