The Blackhawks selected Kirby Dach third overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft after months of speculation. Was Dach the right choice for the Blackhawks? Many fans would disagree, but let’s dig a little deeper and see what Dach has to offer.
Dach is a playmaking center that projects as a first line center in the NHL. He’s known as a pass-first type of player that can be hesitant to shoot at times.
In terms of position, the Blackhawks definitely needed a high-end center, so he will likely fit in quite well. It’s easy to imagine a line with Dach centering Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat.
