His value lies in helping the team win a cup.

 

[Legend123]

Wait, why would we trade dach but say not caufield? They are the same age and part of our core to compete for cups

 

[waitin425]

Dach is the furthest thing from a trade chip. Very very reasonable contract for a few years and already breaking out. No chance.

 

[JohnTheBaptist]

His value is untouchable. He's here for the long run, Lord Stanley's run.

 

[Belial]

If you trade Dach then might as well trade them all as he's one of the youngest guys on the team...

 

[BehindTheTimes]

Strange post, his value is limited and he’s no sure bet yet. Things are looking good, but he wouldn’t be the first to play a good 20 games and then go cold.

I want to see a sustained effort for the whole season before I claim the real Dach has arrived.

 

[NobleSix]

What the f***.

Why would we use Dach as a trade chip? Honestly. Why.

So let's trade an early 20s former top 3 pick who is producing Iike a beast for a pick to select a player that could hopefully one day be a young player that produces like a beast. Makes zero sense man. Dach fits right into the core with his skillset and age.

If Dach has the value of a top 5 pick in 2 years, it means that he attained his potential and is basically what you hope a top 5 pick becomes.

I'm all for the rebuild and have been for years, but the mentality that everything has to be traded for a pick is starting to get a bit out of hand.

 

[Habsrule]

I’m really torn about where I want Dach to play in the lineup. He has great chemistry with Suzuki and Caufield but at the same time he is a natural center. Him playing down the middle would give the Habs a great 1-2 combo for years to come.

He would pair well with Slafkosky on a second line with one of Farrell, Beck or Mesar.

We ain’t trading Kirby!

 

[Habsrule]

He would pair well with Slafkosky on a second line with one of Farrell, Beck or Mesar.

I’m guessing that the plan is to play Slafkovsky with either the Suzuki / Caufield pairing or to play him with his good friend from back home in Mesar. You could put Dach between those two.

Beck is a center so I can’t see him and Dach playing together. But if Beck pans out a Suzuki / Dach / Beck down the middle sounds really good.

 

[JohnTheBaptist]

Dubois - Suzuki - Caufield
Slafkovsky - Dach - Mesar

Dach is a crucial piece for the future

 

[SlafySZN]

Let’s also trade Suzuki, Caufield, Guhle & Slafkovsky i guess since they could get us big returns.

Why the f*** would we trade Dach rofl

 

[JoelWarlord]

 

[FF de Mars]

Dach for Nemec? Anderson in the mix if the rumours are true? Get creative.

For a better future, you set it up for the next couple of years, enabling a top 10 pick in a deep draft and a really good blue chip prospect.

 

[Paddyjack]

Like someone said in another thread, not everything that goes through a fan's head at any moment has to be thread worthy

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

I mean I guess it depends on how he performs for the rest of the season. But at 21, why not just develop him into a good top 6 F, use him to compete, then resign him at 25 when he's an rfa for the entirety of his prime

Unfortunately for you and your vision, everything HuGo has done so far points to them preferring ready prospects instead of futures that'll take a while to develop. That's why it wouldn't surprise me if their main target for an Anderson is a blue chip prospect. They want to get competitive fast so trading a relatively known 21 year old for an unknown 18 year old is counter productive to their model. They aren't necessarily rushing, they just understand that 95% of the future team is already in house and just needs to develop.

They're not trading Nemec for Dach, they want Slaf or Caufield.

I don't have a vision, I created a meme, I answered the OP's question, nobody knows the future.

Dach's size, salary, terms and emergence is exactly what NJ is looking for; actually, they don't want small players on their team, especially with Hugues already being small, that's what they said last summer when Caufield was proposed. Maybe wait until the deadline to prove it's just not a hot streak but I don't think it's crazy. Give them Anderson too, they're gunning for the cup.

I'm not necessarily knocking it just think HuGo thinks differently

I wouldn't assume I know what they're thinking.

I mean you could just go off of their own exact words in various interviews and then piecing it together
