  1. NO. He's doing great, the chances are there, the goals will come, as for the rest, he's doing real nice assists that results in points enough for now, remember in 22-23, he exploded in the latter half of the season, which he was going to continue last season (2GP 0G 2A 2PTS) with Newhook playing third centre, he was with Slafkovsky and someone else (I forgot) in those 2 games. I think Dach when he reaches his stride will be a 80 pts guy, the type that has 25 goals and the rest in assists. That is fine, we have Caufield as confirmed goal scorer, Slaf will be, Laine is and will show up soon and play with Dach. We can't let the chance of having those 2 on the same line never get a chance to shine.

  2. No, not yet as a center. I want to see him centering a 2nd line with a Laine and maybe even a Demidov.. if he cannot succeed with these guys, then I give up on him as a center, but not as a winger.

  3. One never knows ! At the end of the day all one can do is go by your gut. Dach could very well maintain his current pace, and without having yet reached his peak, and without getting reinjured. Who knows ? Take Monahan for example. Many wrote him off, but he did apparently bounce back with Montréal, Winnipeg and now Columbus. That being said, based on Dach's history, there is a certain amount of risk. I can see where Simon 🐍 Boisvert is coming from.

  4. Absolutely not. In case you haven't figured it out, it takes time for most athletes to come back from surgery. Caufield shoots better this year than last, when he was back from shoulder surgery.

    Kirby is a Hab, and he'll be on the team when they roll up Cups.
