Confirmed with Link: Dach to Rockford for conditioning

[Kevin Musto]

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

He just got sent down right before a game so they had been practicing without him. They didn't want to mess with what they had. King said he sent out the 4th line a lot more than he would have because Dach looked so good.

On a related note, by my calculations the Hawks have about $84,000 in free cap space right now. CF shows $679k, however that's not adjusting for the fact that the team has potential performance bonuses greater then the 7.5% bonus cushion.

Just realized he already played 2 games with Rockford. Did somebody watch? Any comments?

Couldn't find any clips of his play but this is an interview efter his first gane in Rockford :

Perhaps but I doubt the HC was impressed with that particular move by Dach in his own end.

If he was stapled to the 4th line for a good chunk of the season, hell yes. But as a get-your-feet-wet exercise for a few games, I'm fine with it.

Given the Hogs start, wouldn't be surprised if King shakes things up next game.

Bow down to the cap guru. Thanks.

Why? The move was impressive, the pass was horrid. I think whoever passed him that puck is the only one getting a talking to on the bench. That was a suicide pass and Kirby diddnt really have any options.

 

[ColdSteel2]

Definitely excited to see The Big Rig in Colliton’s system, even if it’s just a 9 game sample.

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.

Yeah, that stupid age rule needs to be changed.

Yeah, now I see it was a pass coming from somewhere in the corner.

 

[Pez68]

Dach actually did an amazing job protecting himself and avoiding the hit on that. Because it was most certainly a suicide pass.

 

[Giovi]

Yeah, that stupid age rule needs to be changed.

Again, that "stupid age rule" is in place to protect the NHL's premier feeder league from losing its best talent after its draft season. Anyone able to actually think this fact through would realize if the CHL cant use its biggest stars to sell tickets, it will cease to exist.

If this were really a major concern then there would be a rule preventing 18 year olds from playing in the NHL. Dach's coach in Saskatoon doesn't even want him to return because he knows there are no more development opportunities for him there.

The rule is a compromise between the 2 leagues. It allows the CHL to sell most of its stars for that year, unless theyre actually good enough to play in the NHL. Its unusual for a CHL coach to say anything negative about a drafted player returning. I know the Hurricanes were happy as hell to get Cozens back this year.

Love the $7.77 price tag for red dach night but the promo code should be "generational" imo

Oh, shit, you're right. I do what I can!

Oh, ****, you're right. I do what I can!

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Not to majorly overreact, but with a Kakko and Hughes both struggling, I’m pretty sure Dach was a steal for us
