Confirmed with Link: Dach to Rockford for conditioning

[x Tame Impala]

Do the IceHogs have a hefty amount of games coming up in the next 14 days? If so, and then Dach gets his NHL tryout...this could end up being a really smart usage of a loophole by StanBo

I had no idea that this rule existed but it is rather stupid that a team is forced to send a player back to Junior even though it's obvious he can easily transition to pro hockey via the AHL.

Glad I bought the AHL Hogs package this year.

Dach can be assigned to the AHL for up to 14 days. For all practical purposes Dach is treated as if he were on the Chicago NHL active roster--he uses up a roster slot, is paid his full NHL salary, and counts fully against the cap. If the NHL thought the conditioning loan process was being abused they can deny the loan or punish Chicago.

Good news for Dach is he's now being paid his $832,500 NHL salary while on the conditioning loan. Previously he was only being paid his major juniors salary of $10,500 while on IR.

Unless he played for London then his salary is double his NHL salary.

4th line? Derek King gonna Derek King.

That defense has to be one of the better ones in the AHL.

4th line? Derek King gonna Derek King.

guessing they just want to kid the kid some light minutes coming off multiple months of no game action etc

 

[Panzerspitze]

Derek King gonna Derek King.

That line is reserved by @CourtneyDagger50

 

[featherhawk]

Talent wise, yes. They are still very young and non experienced however.

Good point

it is his first game. Ease him in.

 

[Krivo25]

Dach looks good first shift.

 

[Muffinalt]

Dach looks good first shift.

How was he the rest of the game?

 

[featherhawk]

Did something happen to Kurashev?

not sure, seems strange that he is not in the lineup, perhaps he got injured? Nothing in the news about an injury to him

He did play for the Rock on Oct 4, I checked the boxscore and he got an apple on Dylan Sikuras goal in the 3rd vs Iowa

Blackhawks prospect Kirby Dach hits the ice in Rockford,...

Powers with another excellent article. This "conditioning" stint is a masterstroke.

 

[AmericanDream]

Did something happen to Kurashev?

yeah, he is up with the big club - last seen helping Perlini pack his bags for his flight out of here...

 

[Docker]

Anyone see the game? Any observations on how he played?

And exactly how do you expect the NHL's premier development league to survive if they cant keep their best talent beyond their draft year?

 

[Blackhawks26]

4th line for Dach in the AHL seems like a pretty questionable decision no?
