Rumor: Dahlin wants out?

[The Gr8 Dane]

What would it take to save this stud from purgatory. Do you believe Biz? He looked really good at 4 Nations and I'm sure teams would be lining up to add him.

24 years old. Year 1 of a 8 year 11 Million AAV deal.

Could Dahlin force Buffalo's hand and make it get ugly?

 

[GCK]

I don’t believe anything Biz says.

Short answer, yes.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

I don't buy it.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

I believe that Dahlin is not happy being committed to a team with no sense of direction and zero improvement since his draft.

Whether or not he asked to be traded or whatever, who knows.

 

[thewookie1]

Agitated sure, don't see him demanding a trade

 

[BHawk21]

woah. Hawks will take him. Take Levshunov or Rinzel +

 

[DickSmehlik]

Good for him.

As a Sabre fan, our owner needs a wake call that the current GM and coach need to go.

And if he won't listen to the fans/media, maybe he'll listen to his best player.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Sabres are totally hopeless until that degenerate owner sells.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

wwhaaat

 

[TageGod]

Go ahead and add Bedard to that.

 

[Jacob]

He signed the contract, he knew what he was getting into.

 

[Kcb12345]

Every notable player in Buffalo probably wants out if this is the direction they're gonna keep heading in

 

[StlBigFly]

I’d be frustrated and I don’t know what the true specific roadblocks to success are.

But I wouldn’t want dahlin if he quit on the Sabres. Be the solution. They’ve given him like every opportunity and an amazing deal. I don’t get what the problem is.

Guy could have been a UFA this summer had he gone to Arbitration following his bridge deal. But, took the max contract. This is year 7 for him. Come July 1, any trade protection for him kicks in. So, that is something for the Sabres to consider if he's not happy. They have full control over where they could move him up to then.
They went from within a couple of points of making the PO to like the 4th worst record in the NHL this season.

Well, I was going to say the Flyers should be all over this, but if he doesn't want to commit to a team with no sense of direction and zero improvement, he's just going to demand a trade again immediately.

 

[BLNY]

woah. Hawks will take him. Take Levshunov or Rinzel +

As an impartial observer, I feel confident in saying Dahlin will cost you three high value pieces.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I believe it

I guarentee many Sabre players would prefer to be dealt

Was just looking at his deal myself to confirm contract. Agreed. If Sabres feel hand is forced, they'll need to address it before July 1st if they want max value.

 

[Face Of Bear]

probably wants to go to Vegas to win with Jack

 

[Shark Finn]

Who?

He's under contract for 7 more years

Plus I doubt the Sabres would move him to begin with; it would be a legit deathblow to the franchise as a whole

yea thats what the plus would be.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Sabres are totally hopeless until that degenerate owner sells.

Or he could...you know...hire a GM that wasn't Deputy Director of Accounts Receivable in his previous job. Or has any amount of experience.

Or if he really wanted to pretend he gives a shit about winning, he might even hire a president of hockey ops too. But he won't.

 

[BHawk21]

Go ahead and add Bedard to that.

Yea your right Levshunov and Bedard for Dahlin.
