Technically, it's been less than four years since his draft, and in such a short amount of time evaluating his performance, which was clearly affected by the serious wrist injury he suffered in 2021, it should be noted, the Hawks decided to throw in the towel with the 21-year-old.
With the Habs facing Chicago tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 p.m. due to the American Thanksgiving celebrations, RDS reporter Patrick Friolet had the opportunity to speak with star forward Patrick Kane about his former teammate.
The famous number 88 had nothing but good things to say about Dach and was careful to slip in a subtle arrow about his team's poor management of Dach when he was with the Hawks.
It must be said that if Kane says it, to the effect that Dach never had a real chance to make his mark and that he was in a difficult role when he was in the team, it is because he himself considers that the management of the latter left something to be desired, especially from a young player who showed excellent potential.
In fact, the 33-year-old American was particularly upset to see that his organization had just dealt Alex DeBricat and Kirby Dach in quick succession in the same day of the draft. He had to have a meeting with his agent Pat Brisson, along with Jonathan Toews and Seth Jones, to defuse the frustration.
This will be No. 77's first game against his former team and clearly he'll want to go all out to make his former GM Kyle Davidson regret the trade.
