During this very interesting conversation, Hughes praised the progression of Slafkovsky and Suzuki (whom he also compared to Patrice Bergeron), but he particularly dropped some very interesting information regarding Kirby Dach.
Seravalli asked the question.
Why would the Canadiens think they will be better next season, according to Kent Hughes?
Simply because the organization will add its best player to the lineup, or at least, the one who was the best player in the fall of 2023.
You read that right.
This is about the player acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks during the 2022 draft, Kirby Dach.
According to GM Kent Hughes, last fall, it wasn't the captain who was the team's best player. It was Kirby Dach.
Dach had also gathered two points in a game and a half before suffering a severe injury.
He was so dominant before getting injured.
We tend to forget, but it's indeed somewhat a huge addition that will happen for Martin St-Louis's team next season.
The future is bright, and we have the right to hope to play meaningful games at this stage of the season, in a year.
