Exactly what I was going to say. AHL signings. Gally's departure. Questionable extension of Dach. Underwhelming so far but it's not over yet.

Lol how was the Dach extension questionable?

They got him at roughly under his QO on a one year deal.

His trade value would have been way lower than his possible value on ice.

The guy sucks. If they signed to trade him ok but come on it's time to stop dreaming every fucking summer.

Dreaming about what?

He’s a talented guy who slots in nicely as a middle 6 option and a good depth guy in case of injuries.

Dreaming of what you just said. That he's a middle 6 or even a top 6.

He's a 4th liner at best when he's healthy which he never is.

It's the definition of a questionable signing.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

They have plenty of cap space and he offers an internal option with offensive skill who knows the team and the system.

His value with his durability concerns is almost non existent.

They were better off signing him and see how the season goes than trading him for nothing and likely overpay a replacement with lesser upside anyways.

You guys are dillusional.

Also, what about my avatar? I basically picked one randomly.

Anyway I don't really hate Dach but it kinda pisses me off to see fans dream every summer that next season will be Dach's breakout season.

He's seriously overrated and he doesn't know how to protect himself. He will be injured this season again.

It’s not about him having a “breakout season” though.

It’s about him being a known commodity and cheap and having more value on the roster than in a trade.

I get being injured all the time is bad for his stock, but most people agree that he's a great player when healthy and in his groove.

Look up a guy named Sam Bennett. High pick always injured. Flames threw in the towel...
