Kirby Dach confirms the rumor about him: it was indeed true
Kirby Dach is back on the ice with his teammates after missing 80 games last year and not playing a professional match for nearly a year.
For him, training camp is very significant, and he isn't taking anything for granted. He knows he has a spot to earn and is approaching camp with determination.

At the end of last year, Dach was back in training and even traveled with his teammates on the final trip of the season. There were expectations that he would return at that time, but he ultimately did not.
Many journalists, including Renaud Lavoie, noted that Dach was ready, but the organization didn't want to take any risks. If the team had qualified for the playoffs, it might have been different.

Not only was it not worth the risk of injuring him at the end of a lost season, but the Canadiens also had to comply with the condition set by the doctor who performed Dach's surgery.
That doctor specified he would only operate if the return to play was at least 8 months later. So, it's understandable why the organization listened to him.
