Confirmed with Link: Kirby Dach has been recalled (& is staying in the NHL)

[RememberTheRoar]

If Chicago's season goes down the drain at all, or if he's not playing consistent minutes, do you think he'd be loaned to play on the WJC? Kind of like Mete a few years back?

Or Jokiharju last year.

I'm actually expecting Dach and Boqvist to go play in the WJC.

As do I but I have my doubts that Hawks have that in mind.

 

[ChiHawk21]

As do I but I have my doubts that Hawks have that in mind.

i think stan and colliton felt some heat here recently and will keep those guys around chicago.

 

[BK]

I can officially say as of right now Dach was the right choice based on what I have seen.

How are Turcotte and Byram doing?

 

[BK]

How are Turcotte and Byram doing?

They are both doing just fine.

 

[TheDoorDoctor]

Theres a very good chance all three will end up quite good. Its hard to see the future and confirm who will be the best in the next ten years but yes, Dach has looked good so far and thats all that matters now.

 

[TheDoorDoctor]

The chances are Dach will not be the third best player from this draft but no one has a crystal ball.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Nothing suggest he wont be at this point

 

[ChiHawks10]

The chances are Dach will not be the third best player from this draft but no one has a crystal ball.

Are you implying that he'll be worse or better?

 

[Kurtosis]

Yeah, he could be the best.

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Are you implying that he'll be worse or better?

He might mean that the top 5 are all really, really good prospects and they could land in any order at this point.

 

[RayP]

They are both doing just fine.

Avs fans would disagree.

 

[LavalPhantom]

The chances are Dach will not be the third best player from this draft but no one has a crystal ball.

I think you are right simply based in odds. Chances are fairly high that one or more of the 200 players picked after him end up having a better career. But he can also have a better career than Hughes and/or Kakko.

I don’t think however that his play so far is an indication that he won’t be the third best overall in his draft.

 

[BobbyJet]

I guess I'm the only one who is concerned about Dach being targetted and getting smoked at least once literally every game?

I don't think anyone would disagree that Dach has to get better at avoiding hits.

 

[ColdSteel2]

I’m concerned about it. Like the fearlessness but don’t want to see him have concussion or other injury problems. Just hoping he can make it through the year and start packing on some pounds in the offseason.

 

[BK]

Why would you be the only one? Other people have mentioned it.

 

[Blackhawks26]

I don't think anyone would disagree that Dach has to get better at avoiding hits.

he just needs to put on weight. Once he packs on some lbs he'll be a force to reckon with

[TheDoorDoctor]

To respond, I’m really liking Dach! I just talking to the idea of comparing himto Turcotte and Byram. I obvi get the reason behind it as this is a forum but the chances are there IS going to be a better player drafted behind Dach.

Soo the fact that he is being successful this early in his hockey career is all I can ask for!

DACH SCORES GAME-WINNING GOAL WEDNESDAY AFTER KAKKO DID SO TUESDAY

The Blackhawks scored five straight goals to erase a multi-goal deficit, including a game winner from rookie Kirby Dach (1-1—2), as Chicago earned its first win over Vegas (VGK: 7-1-0 since Oct. 24, 2017). Dach became the third different 18-year-old in Blackhawks history to score a game-winning goal.

* Eighteen-year-old Dach, the third-overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, scored the game-winning goal a day after the second-overall selection, Kaapo Kakko, also did so with the Rangers Tuesday. It marked just the third time in NHL history that an 18-year-old registered a game-winning tally in consecutive days.

* Dach also joined Devils forward Jack Hughes (Oct. 19-25) and Kakko (Nov. 10-12) as the third player from the 2019 NHL Draft to score in consecutive games this season. Only three other 18-year-old players in Blackhawks history have accomplished the feat: Patrick Kane (2x in 2007-08), Eddie Olczyk (4x in 1984-85) and Bobby Hull (Nov. 9-10, 1957).

* Only two players in Blackhawks history have posted a multi-point game at a younger age than Dach (18 years, 297 days): Olczyk (7x in 1984-85) and Harold Jackson (18 years, 229 days on March 18, 1937).
