It's hard to understand why a rebuilding team like the Chicago Blackhawks decided to trade a 21-year-old like Kirby Dach, especially since many experts see him as a great NHL player.
Drafted third overall in 2019, does Dach have a flaw?
On TSN 690 this morning, Marco D'Amico of Montreal Hockey Now had an answer to our question:
"Scotty Bowman told us it was because of the face-offs... and that Chicago really wants a complete lineup reset."
If that's the only reason, we agree that it's a bit ridiculous. It's still an improving aspect of the game and at worst he'd make a great winger.
Remember that the Habs paid a first round pick (13th overall) and a third round pick (66th) for the young centre.
