Martin St-Louis Makes Big Decision on Kirby Dach's Role With Canadiens

He confirmed in the past few hours that Dach is officially his second-line center, for the moment at least, and now he has also confirmed that he will be sending Dach into action during the preseason games.. even though he was moved to another group on day two of training camp.

We really weren't sure about this one, but now we already have confirmation.. And clearly, this seems to confirm that Dach will also play the first game of the regular season (if everything goes well).

One thing's for sure, Kirby Dach keeps getting people talking!

And honestly, it's completely normal because he strangely has the "power" to change everything for the Canadiens this season.

Whether he wants it or not, he might be the most decisive player on the Canadiens this season.

Let me explain!

If Kirby Dach becomes the 2023 version of himself again and is truly dominant as the second-line center, it will have a major impact on the Canadiens' success.

However, if he struggles in all kinds of ways, it will put much more pressure on Ivan Demidov as well as on the Canadiens' first line (not to mention the fact that it will force management to find another second-line center).

The second-line center role is so important for an NHL team, and until proven otherwise, HE is the second-line center of the Montreal Canadiens this year.

Let's hope to see a fully healthy Dach to start the season! It would solve so many issues all at once!

More details to come.
