After a promising first season with 38 points in 58 games in 2022-2023, the 23-year-old center injured his knee in the second game of the 2023-2024 season and hasn't been seen since.
Let's just say that his injury history is starting to raise some serious concerns, but according to certain sources, he has fully recovered from his knee injury and is ready for the upcoming season, as reported by Rumeursdetransaction.com.
The most optimistic fans see the former third overall pick from 2019 playing on the Canadiens' second line alongside Patrik Laine, Alex Newhook, and even Josh Anderson. Denis Gauthier certainly seems to be in the optimistic camp.
During a recent appearance on BPM Sports, Gauthier expressed his strong belief in Kirby Dach's potential and even went so far as to say that he is one of the untouchable players in the organization, along with Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Juraj Slafkovsky.
We know that a team like the Boston Bruins would pay a hefty price for a player like Kirby Dach, as recently reported by Sportsnet, but forget about that idea.
Gauthier's comments are quite intriguing, but for Dach to truly be considered untouchable, he will need to live up to his potential in the upcoming season, which is set to begin in just under a month.
