Gotta say, love your description. Your 100% correct about dach. I’m really scared of what will happen if he gets nine games honestly. He was injured by a prospect after all. What happens against actual men? But even more importantly, your absolutely right that the other three have turned heads and have made an impact. Honestly, they deserve a chance waaaayyyyyy more than dach. Dach is still way too slow with the skill he has to make it in the nhl. Either he needs to get faster or learn how to use his size. Go back to juniors, get some speed and size awareness, get consistent, and actually dominate.

Meanwhile, Hughes looks fantastic, kakko looks as advertised, byram is going to probably make the Avs for good according reports, and turcotte is too early to give an assessment on. I’d argue that dach is probably in the worst position of all five.

I agree, Dach is probably in the worst position of the 5. Byram would've been a much simpler pick, but it's obvious the hawks aren't ready to break any young D men into the league at this stage. Boqvist doesn't appear to have a spot, and he looks absolutely nasty. The biggest problem on this team remains Seabrook.
