Back on Feb. 20, Blackhawks interim coach Derek King included a curious preface — “If he decides to continue to be a better person” — when discussing Kirby Dach’s still-lofty potential.
The negative implications of that comment might’ve been purely unintentional. King did immediately say “better player,” too, and he might not have intended for those phrases to be interpreted separately. But the comment might’ve alternatively indicated that, behind the scenes, King had taken issue with some of Dach’s behavior.
