Chicago Blackhawks: Another brother is coming to townVincent Pariseon July 24, 2021 at 5:12 pm

In the short 2020-21 season for the Blades, Dach had 11 goals and 9 assists for 20 points in 20 games. He didn’t light the world on fire but those are still really good numbers. He has a chance to be a very good NHL player if he continues developing at his current pace.

Kirby was, of course, a first-round pick. In fact, the Hawks took him with the third overall pick so that tells you what NHL teams think of him. Colton might not reach Kirby’s level but you never know. You can only hope that playing together ignites a fire in both of them that allows them to succeed at the highest level. They are both very good players.

The Chicago Blackhawks are getting younger and more skilled in the organization.

It doesn’t seem likely that the younger Dach will end up in the NHL right away. He has some development to go before he takes that stage. In fact, there were questions as to Kirby making it in year one too but he was so good early that they kept him. If the Hawks were smart, they would let Colton develop at his own pace.

This is a good way to kick off day two for Chicago. Little Dach is actually not so little. He stands at 6’4? and 205 lbs. That is huge for an 18-year-old kid trying to make his way to the NHL. A lot of his high-end skill revolves around his big shot. He uses his hands in a way that makes it hard for goaltenders to read which is why he has so much success.

When he develops a little more, the shooting along with the playmaking should really take him to a new level. This is a great pick for the Chicago Blackhawks as they try to continue adding young talent while remaining competitive.
