The Montreal Canadiens have officially re-signed Kirby Dach to a one-year contract worth $3.6 million, avoiding arbitration and setting up what could be one of the biggest "prove-it" seasons of his NHL career. After battling injuries over the past three seasons, Dach enters 2026-27 with plenty to prove—and plenty on the line.
On today's episode of The Starr & D'Amico Show, we break down why Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton chose a one-year deal instead of a long-term commitment, what this contract means for both the Canadiens and Dach, and where he fits in Martin St. Louis' lineup this season.
Can Dach finally stay healthy and become the top-six center Montreal envisioned when they acquired him? Or is this the final opportunity for him to establish himself as a core piece of the Canadiens' future?
