“Kirby Dach, barring an injury, will he be the player who completes the first line until the end of the season—true or false, Gilbert?”
“It depends on his performances, sorry. We haven’t seen enough consistency from Kirby Dach since he arrived in Montreal to say he’ll be there until the end of the season. If he plays like he did Saturday, I have no problem with that. He can play three good games, then disappear for four games—you don’t see him. At some point, Alain, he has to realize, you know, I’ve got an opportunity here.” – Gilbert Delorme
“With Josh Anderson, we found him a role on the team and he fills it well. I’m asking myself, could Kirby Dach maybe become a Josh Anderson? You know, stop thinking he’s going to score 50 goals, 40 goals—maybe he’ll score 15 in a season, but he’ll play a role, he’ll find his chair and fill that role. But we’ll have to lower our expectations in Kirby Dach’s case and realize that he won’t be a scorer, he won’t be an offensive player.” – Alain Crête
