Is Kirby Dach READY Or NOT To Start The Season? | The Montreal Canadiens

1. Dach is un-tradeable at this point…Habs should have spoken to Dach's surgeon when he was in Chicago

2. Another Stellar Video

3. We have to collectively hold our wad here… it’s so tempting to want them to dominate right now, and to wonder why Hughes hasn’t got a 2C or whatever else we think they need. Let’s not start doing that thing fans do where we assume because no deal has happened that the GM isn’t trying hard enough. If Kent Hughes hasn’t done that thing you wish he’d done by now, trust the reasoning why. Dach’s situation isn’t ideal, obviously, but there is no need to panic.

4. Unfortunately Kirby Dach isn't quite ready due to that unfortunate knee injury 😢

5. I wouldn't look at it like a failure for Kent Hughes!

6. Shaun, breathe buddy. We’re not competing for the cup this year. It’s a process.

7. I support the shit out of pet ads

8. I love the pet Ads! Great switch.

9. Marco D’Amico future GM material !! Great show boys!

10. I feel like this episode was mostly Marco walking Shaun away from a cliff he was about to jump off.

11. Anyone feeling panicked about the Habs not making a move for a 2C this summer needs to chill, they are not going to sacrifice the future for a quick fix, and not give up Reinbacher and Hage right now for players like Mctavish. Its basically moving sideways, not up.

    Management is playing chess, while some fans and reporters are thinking its a checkers game and the next move is what brings the cup immediately back to MTL.

    Patience will be rewarded, either for trades or with free agency, MTL is getting more and more interesting for UFA’s and some very interesting contracts are ending in 1 or two years.

    I absolutely believe that MTL’s cup contention window is not going to start anytime before 2-3 years. This season, they are starting out as the youngest team in the NHL. There is absolutely no rush or panic to be had this season.

    Let them build it, they will come

12. Be patient and keep developing!

13. Marco you should start your own podcast, one without the rumour-mongering, manufactured drama and egregious clickbait

14. As I recall someone saw Dach working out with weights and the person thought he should be using heavier weights. Knock it off. We will see where he is in a month. I am sure the organization is abridged of where he is and if something is done it won't be done till after the Price contact is moved.

15. Shaun “I’m a patient guy” when talking about Demidov. But has a hot take to get a 2C on a market when the market is scarce. And the price to get one is wayyy to high. Make it make sense. Great show love the combativeness sometimes

16. Thanks for having animal publicity

    Too old to have a dog but i do appreciate

17. You are way too impatient. Breath in, exhale. Breath in, exhale.

18. They got Veleno because they knew he wasn’t gonna be ready, it’s a way to not sacrifice the future we have to be patient

19. the best bet for Kirby is wait for Kirby air raiders Switch 2 🙂

20. What was Dach's latest injury? I know it was a knee injury but what kind of injury? ACL? From the timeline it sounds like an ACL. I had my ACL reconstructed a few years ago. The healing process is a bit abnormal. I had full mobility without pain within 3 weeks of the surgery. However, just because there is no pain doesn't mean the joint has healed. I was told that it takes up to 6 months for the repair to fully heal and that I needed to be careful not to re-injure it during this period. Strengthening the muscles, specifically the hamstring because they used part of that tendon, was the longest and hardest part of the recovery. All that said, there is no specific indication when the knee is fully recovered. That's a huge grey area. I would say that if he's not ready to go by the start of training camp, then he's not ready to go a week later. It's more like he'll be ready for training camp and playing games,, but it will take a while to get to 100%.

    The other comment I have is with respect to the Bolduc trade. I like Bolduc. I think he's a. guy the Habs need in their lineup. I'm not sure giving up one of their most valuable trade chips (RH top 4 D-man) for a 2nd-3rd line winger was the best use of that asset. Especially when the 2C spot is their most immediate need.

21. Shaun, I like you BUT you seem to be suffering from notenoughnewsitis. The angle you took about Kent Hugues is off putting. I hope this 'affliction' doesn't last too long…

22. Dach who knows, but Shawn, dude, you are too hyper. I hope that you're trying to be a proxy for the impatient fan base. But often you strike me as uninformed. Marco deserves a job with a team. He's your foil. You freak out, he tempers it.

23. Very interesting conversation Shayn and Marco!
    I agree with Marco that the 2nd line will be creative with Demidov, but my only concern is, if the Habs don't have a 2nd center to win the draws, Demidov and Laine will be chasingvthe puck all the time.
    Unless they use Evans as a two C until they find someone else, Habs can't rely on Dach and Newhook for now.
