Dach was traded on July 7th to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for the 13th overall pick in this years draft, not many Blackhawks fans saw that coming as Kyle Davidson has a rebuild plan- but a 21 year old big body player like Dach does not fit in it?
John Scott dug deep with some questions, at times Dach would not answer some as it would revealed too much info. Scott did ask a great question and he asked Dach if the Blackhawks are in full tanking mode (purposely losing) to get next years first overall pick and a shot at Connor Bedard the projected #1 ranked players for next years draft.
Question: There is a lot of question marks about players not really knowing what is going on, can you elaborate on anything?
Dach's response: ''There was is a lot of question marks and the players did not know anything that was going on. Extra pieces were brought into Chicago but nobody knew what was going on. I found out from friends on other NHL teams that i was being dealt to another team''.
Question: is this the biggest tank in NHL history? Are they tanking for Bedard?
Dach's response: ''I cannot disclose too much info but obviously the Blackhawks general manager group has stuff figured out, and i am just focusing on my new journey in Montreal''.
Dach stating that nobody (the players) knows what is going on in Chicago makes the fan base question Kyle Davidson as he has stated he has everything under control throughout this rebuild and that he will prioritize speaking with players individually- which is false as Dach found out from a friend on another NHL team that he was being shopped around.
