With dach we knew what the pick was when the trade was made, but fairly interesting comparison.

If this trade were to happen, it would probably be made at the next draft.

Right, so since we don't know if the Florida pick will be like 9th or 23rd, hard to comment

Dach sucks and has always sucked. Laf at least has a shot to turn it around to be elite, but needs more minutes. Dach has had a good season this year, but this is probably his career year.

Because that's what Dach signed for in Montreal.

Dach gives 40 year old fat guys with no athletic ability hope that they may indeed still reach the NHL.

Laf is worth more by the slightest margin imo. 1st, 3rd, + an additional middle type piece at this point (I'd plug a guy like Ylonen in here, whether or not that's enough for NYR isn't for me to determine. Ylonen likely taps out as a 3rd liner but is going to be cheaper than Laf who is currently playing 3rd&4th line)

Nah. He is straight up bad. He is a terrible skater. His hands are cement. But he is kind of big so he must be good. This is not the 90s where if you were big and could stand on skates everyone figured you were some sort of prodigy.

I never understood why Dach was rated so high in his draft year. I feel like all the scouting agencies got together and said "let's see how well teams pay attention to actual performance vs a report...we agree we all put this Dach guy up really high even though he shouldn't be in the NHL"

For the record, Red Wings fans were terrified that Holland would draft Dach. Most of us were elated when Chicago took Dach. A lot of us wanted Hughes. When Zadina fell, we were elated and basically said we couldn't pass up on Zadina. We were wrong, but still not Dach wrong.

To be fair, he’s only 21. He’s got some time to reach his potential, and the rangers are pretty stacked on the wings. It would be a bad idea to sell on him right now.

Stacked on the wings is why he will never live to his potential
