Blackhawks could take Kirby Dach, a natural playmaker, at No. 3 overall

Kirby Dach is a lot like the previously-profiled Dylan Cozens. Both are big centers who play a two-way, 200-foot game. Both have produced a lot of points in the Western Hockey League. Both are able to drive play, but have glaring weaknesses as well.

Dach, at 6-foot-4 and 198 pounds, is the larger of the two, however. He doesn’t have the same explosiveness Cozens has when it comes to skating, but his reach is longer and much like Cozens, Dach is incredibly useful in transition. He was the go-to player for the Saskatoon Blades last season and played minutes against stiff competition.
