Kirby Dach will return after missing almost the entire last season. He has been plagued by injuries throughout his time in Montreal.
The former 3rd overall pick of the Blackhawks has struggled with injuries since the start of his career. According to reports, he has fully recovered from his knee injury and is ready for the upcoming season.
Logically, Kirby Dach is expected to play as the center of the Canadiens' second line next season, likely alongside Patrik Laine and Alex Newhook or Josh Anderson.
The former NHL player even goes so far as to say that Dach is untouchable for the Canadiens.
He places Kirby Dach in the same category as Nick Suzuki and Juraj Slafkovsky in this regard, suggesting he is considered on par with them, even before Cole Caufield, if we deduce.
