Evans on the second.. fixed
I love Evans, but he's seriously incompetent offensively. Lol
He's actually on pace for a 40 pt season, though. Basically, he'd be there to help defensively and not get in the way of Slafkovsky/CC offensively.

Yeah. Evan should be a third line checking center. Habs really need a 2C now.
Dach is exactly that, soft. Big guy that doesn’t play big, is lazy, and slow as molasses.
Time to find a 2c because it isn’t going to be Kirby.
Completely wrong on all counts except that it is hard to say whether he will be a centre.
He is not wrong you are. Dach is soft. Je doesnt hit, he doesnt grind, he doesnt hustle. He has absolutely not shown once this year that he isnt soft.

Dach's play kinda sucking right now (because he's back from 1 year serious injury) doesn't mean it's never gonna improve. The question is more "what is the timeline & upside".
I think the error HuGo made is that they assumed that between Dach & Newhook they would have a 2C but none of them are there (yet ?) Monahan's age didnt fit the window and now we're at Evans 2C.
I don't blame Kirby for that but yeah if they feel it's too risky to bet on Dach getting there by next year, they should trade for a veteran 2C to stabilize the lineup and help new top 6 players break in.
I hate Renaud as much as the next guy but I was coming on this thread saying we should absolutely go after this guy. Can you imagine a 4th line with him, Tuch and Florian??? What a f***ing nightmare for the opposing teams

Well if you call Dach a physical player , then i have no idea what Dach is

Comparing Plekanec to Evans and Danault is making me dizzyHe'd be our new old pleky or Dandy
Well if you talk about the height of both players I agree , but Dach is never using his body , he reminds me of Latendresse lol
I am willing to give Dach more time for sure. At the beginning of the Season I said give him 20 games to Come back maybe it will be more.
However, I would disagree with you that Dach is not soft. He has not shown that he can play Big at NHL level yet. He avoids board battles and does not really fight for the puck ...yet ?
Not saying it won't happen but right now I would not call him tough.
Darn nice of you.
13 months ago, Kirby was our best or second best player.
He just needs to get his timing back.

If they are leaving Dach on the wing...........................then absolutely.
Not ready to throw Dach under the bus, but he has not looked good early on.
Laine returning soon helps the PP and offense, but we do need something down the middle besides Suzuki to create plays.

"Kirby Dach was our second best or best player in games against sub-NHL talent teams giving half efforts and also practices." Wow. Huge praise.
Matter of speech but thanks for focusing on what matters. It's not just timing right now, it s involvement, physicality... and also he must learn how to shoot, that was a key question mark on draft day it remains one.

I'm pretty sure he'd admit it himself, it's just not his natural role. He'll give it his best shot obviously, but he's not a 2C in any way, shape or form.

We're already having a rough time as it is to defend, not sure we trade him at all. Let's see.

Heard this on the radio the other day.
Zegras for Dach
What do you people think?
Personally, I'd keep going with Dach but I will admit I haven't watch Zegras play at all this season.
But some people were willing to pull the trigger as Hab fans.

Agreed. We be getting smaller and softer. I don't think its a trade worth doing for us
