LD Rasmus Dahlin (2018, 1st, BUF) Part 3

[Mattilaus]

I really would hold my horses before saying Dahling is outshining Heiskanen. Unless we are talking about the media hype in general and not how the players look when going face to face.

I get it that most posters will immediately call me biased for saying this but I don't think Dahlin does anything better than Heiskanen other than play with better support cast. And it's the only reason why Dahlin is leading Heiskanen in points.

Soooo Eichel and Reinhart > Seguin and Benn? Cool!

Both have been a lot better than Seguin and Benn have this season. Or is that incomprehensible to you?

This is your reaction to someone asking a question regarding a team they know little about? Does my avatar look like I watch a lot of Dallas games? Sorry next time I will pretend I know f***ing everything like everyone else on this board instead of asking.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

They have been better due to them having a far better junior defenceman setting them up.

Obviously they aren't going to look as good when they don't have as good defensman..

 

[Orange Fanta]

Despite all the recent historical season talk, Dahlin has never been close to winning the Calder either.

While Dahlin's point totals are great, they also kind of exaggerate how great he has really been offensively.

You don't really have to do anything other than watch all his points from this season and get a feeling that not many of those points have come from Dahlin doing something great but rather him just being in the right place at the right time to get an assist. I mean, it's not Dahlin's fault he has been a bit lucky with his 17 secondary assists. Every great player needs good supporting cast which Dahlin definately has in Buffalo.


Here we go again with this never-ending cycle of you forcing self-created memes from 2010 that were never funny to people in the first place.

The bolded sounds like a consistent player with a high hockey iq

 

[TheDoldrums]

I did enjoy Dahlin desperately swinging his stick while on the ground even after it was obvious Kappy was gone.

So close!

 

[truthbluth]

I don’t know guys, I think maybe Dahlin is pretty good, despite what all of these obviously unbiased Fins have to say.

Better to try something than nothing. If he sat there with his shoulders slumped after the ref assisted then everyone would be talking about how he gave up on the play.

Haha yeah. Man that Ruud van Nistelroy just scored a shit ton of goals by being in the right place at the right time. Such a lucky player

 

[Willgamesh]

Why would you compare him to forwards? Compare him to Dmen and you'll get a more favorable comparison.

Dahlin's a great player, but watching him I've notice that he gets a lot of freebies which means that watching stats isn't the best way to evaluate him. I wouldn't be surprised if he scored less next year.

Bias towards finns super obvious go to a different prospect thread you sad beta.

 

[Willgamesh]

More highlights from last night

Puck goes off the refs skate and changes direction. You're such a bad troll. Dahls banged out your mom or something?

 

[tsujimoto74]

Dahlin is top 20 in D scoring as an 18-year-old and is arguably putting up the best season by an 18yo D since Orr. The hot takes are hilarious and all, but it could not be more obvious that this kid is a really special talent.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Imagine going after a completely normal thing for an 18 year old kid

You are a sad sad little man.

Whoa, you think acne is a negative thing? Why would you get triggered by that otherwise?

 

[TeddyBare]

If a player puts up point totals like Pettersson.

What point totals would Dahlin have to put up to beat him Calder voting?
60+ points I'm guessing?
It favors the forward so much.

I think when there's a rookie like Pettersson in the mix, Calder is impossible for a Dman to win. Luckily it's not worth anything.

Well, maybe if a rookie defenseman scored 20 goals or something...

Tyler Myers won it a few years back, it's not impossible.

I agree
20 Goals & 30-40 assists even with a pettersson would probably win it IMO

Going to be interesting to see if voters are going to consider the younger 18 year old playing defense with his historical numbers vs. a 20 year old center having a spectacular season. No way should points be the total factor. Apparently Dahlin's fancy stats are pretty crazy as well. Not mentioning any other names in the Dahlin thread.

 

[Caser]

I think at this point he can be considered as graduated to the NHL and, since the thread is over 1k posts anyway, I'd say we stop discussing him as a prospect.
