seems fixable

According to Corey Sznajder’s tracking, Dach is an effective puck carrier between the blue lines, but has an immature offensive game that limits his ability to win OZ pucks, extend possessions and create high-quality looks.

Hughes actually doing the work. The lazy days of Bergevin (and Gainey before him) are over

One theory I read was that the deal is in place verbally but Hughes didn't want it on the books because he didn't want other teams negotiating from a position of cap strength.

I mean it's nuanced but there could be something there.

We are effectively replacing KK with KD
