The Kirby Dach Trade Is Turning Into a Nightmare as the Player Drafted by the Hawks is Shining
Frank Nazar is shining this season in the American Hockey League, and he is a name worth noting for Montreal Canadiens fans.
At only 20 years old, he already has 24 points, including 11 goals, in 20 games with the Chicago Blackhawks' AHL affiliate.
Remember, during the 2022 draft, Hughes and the Canadiens traded Alexander Romanov and the 98th pick to the Islanders for the 13th overall pick, which they then combined with the 66th pick to acquire Kirby Dach.
The player the Chicago Blackhawks acquired in exchange for Kirby Dach, Frank Nazar, is having a fantastic start to his career
Indeed, to obtain Dach, Kent Hughes gave up Alex Romanov, the pick that allowed them to draft Nazar, as well as two additional picks.
While Nazar impresses with his play and potential, Dach is having a disappointing season.
With a meager total of 9 points in 30 games, he struggles to justify the investment made by the Canadiens.
With the Blackhawks, Nazar already seems to be positioning himself as a future star.
His potential chemistry with Connor Bedard hints at a formidable duo that could dominate the NHL in the years to come.
For Montreal, this scenario highlights the importance of Dach getting back to his level and contributing more to the team's success.
This trade could be seen as a lesson for the Canadiens. As Nazar continues to progress, it will be essential for the Habs to make the most of Kirby Dach, or they risk regretting this trade in the coming seasons.
This chapter underscores the complexity of major transactions and the uncertainty they bring in building a competitive team.
If it were to be done again today, would you still take Kirby Dach, or would you prefer Frank Nazar?
