Technically, it's been less than 4 years since his draft, and in such a short time of evaluating his performance, which was clearly affected by the serious wrist injury he suffered in 2021, it should be specified, the Hawks decided to throw in the towel with the 21-year-old.
With the Habs set to face 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.
It must be said that if Kane says it, to the effect that Dach never had a real chance to shine and that he played in a difficult role when he was on 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.
Moreover, the 33-year-old American was particularly upset to see that his organization had just traded Alex DeBricat and Kirby Dach in quick succession in the same day, during the draft. He had to have a meeting with his agent Pat Brisson, along with Jonathan Toews and Seth Jones, to defuse the frustration.
