Boldly > Dach

false Blowman.

Passing on Byram is a mistake.

Wrong....look at the last 90 days following the end of the juniors and the worlds. Dach is the 4th best center proceeded by Hughes, Turcotte and Cozens in that order. Byram was the BPA at #3 hands down.

I like Boldy, but not over Dach. If CHI was still at #12, yes Boldy would have been the best choice.
The skills Dach have you can't fake, he can only improve going forward. He can only get stronger and yes, he can get a little quicker with proper conditioning. But to be fair, speed in not everything, puck control and streighs and drive and IQ, he can control the pace of the game, all very important. (Stalberg had speed). I remember few month back after watching all highlights on all prospects were all about Dach over Cozens, but because he didn't play in the world I moved on to Turcotte. I trust that CHI made a right call. We can still get Turcotte from LAK in few years, when he requests a trade from that hell.
