Brother of Kirby who has outproduced him at the same age and put up good numbers. Excited to take a look at him when he starts playing with Saskatoon.

Doesn't look like he's outproduced Kirby at the same age? Colton doesn't even have a ppg in the AMHL whereas Kirby was at 1.18 ppg.

True. Colton was off to a slow start but has picked up the pace recently and has been lately outproducing his 1.18. They'll probably end up close at the end of the year.

Not as good as his brother but hell be interesting to watch at the Canada Games.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Hope they manage to play a season together in Saskatoon but I think Kirby goes straight to the NHL.

Good thing these kids got good athletic genes... because they got some brutal names.

Colton at least is a very typical Western Canadian boy name.

He would have gotten a pass from me, I just would have assumed he was named after the great Colonel Cotton Hill.

 

[MasterMatt25]

He's left-handed as opposed to his brother's right handedness I believe

I scored fitty goals.

Given the wacky names popping in the WHL recently (Kirby included) I don't blame you lol

Tryamkin, please change the title, thank you. Colton play's for the Saskatoon Blades, in the WHL.

Colton Dach's first preseason game went quite nice, 2 goals, 2 helpers.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Also, he is a LW not a center.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Colton gets his first WHL goal. Congrats.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

9 points in 29 games.

Obviously he's super young, but very impressive from what I've watch. He's much more mobile and better skater than his brother, but as of now doesn't really have the physical elements such as frame or any sort of mean streak. Has good skill, but what I thought was a very good part of his game was his two-way ability. He's already a fairly accomplished two-way player even with him looking really lanky out there.

More of a playmaker with good vision, but reminds me of Burakovsky with Silfverberg thrown in.

I wasn't overly impressed by Colton the 1st half of the season but since the Christmas break he's been much more assertive and using his skill set way better. Early in the year he was lower in the lineup than now but even in the lower minutes he played passively. Nice to see his development so far and hope it continues upwards

 

[barabas21]

I got season tix for the Pats and Colton is definitely nowhere near where Kirby was at 16, but his progression throughout the year has been a nice surprise. Still a little awkward skater but is looking more confident out there.

 

[Zaddy]

Is he playing wing or center?

 

[barabas21]

Is he playing wing or center?

From what I remember he is playing on the wing with Robins and McKay.

Slightly off-topic but Robins, although undersized, looks like he can be a player. He really drives the play on that line.

 

[wings5]

Doesn't look to be quite the level of his older brother but still seems like a solid prospect. Colton could end up going in the first round in 2021 but it will be hard to predict given this strange hockey season

 

[landy92mack29]

Heating up after a slow start to the year but basically everyone looks rusty the first couple games before they find their game legs

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Someone is going to draft him in the 1st round (or early in the 2nd)

7 goals, 12 points in 10 games so far. Leads his team in goals, 3rd in points.
