Player Discussion Rasmus Dahlin Part 4 - D (1st Overall, 2018, Frölunda HC, SHL)

[Orange Fanta]

Honestly his biggest issue is consistency along with explosive power by the time he is 23-24 he'll likely be a top 5 defender he'll produce a lot more too once the forward group improves suggested by his transition numbers. He's still at a learning curve but once he gets past it watch out, he is a low end number 1 currently on a team expected to be even worse than last year.

Is it me or are the people who advocated for moving on from Risto also the ones now advocating patience with Dahlin? Maybe I need another coffee.

I dont think the majority of the board became anti-Risto until the 19-20 season. It was around then that it was clear he wasn't going to improve.

If we put Dahlin on that same trajectory, he still has a few years to sort it out. Basically his current 3 year contract.

Its been musical chairs for his partner this season. Dont panic.

To be fair, I preached patience with Risto.........

I'd never mistake your passion.

Sorry, y'all. Wrong thread!

 

[Dubi Doo]

Eek, wrong thread again!

 

[Pierre Larouche]

From the defensive zone:

Really interesting. I
I haven't been able to watch Karlson play for the sharks, but is he moving the puck well?

 

[Pierre Larouche]

honestly sounds textbook OCD

Sounds awful and controlling.

 

[Pierre Larouche]

I mean Lidstrom had 60 points and a +36 rating his rookie year when he was 20 or 21 I think. He didn't start winning Norris trophies until later but he was still a great defenseman almost from the beginning, he just hit another level in his late 20's. He still received Norris votes as early as his 3rd season and by 25 he received norris votes every year after.

Those Wings teams were insanely talented.

f*** I missed crow feeder!

Mitts! I posted this after he scored. The only issue is- I put it in the Dahlin thread rather than the GDT, haha

Funny contrast between this stat and what everyone's been saying as of late in this thread.

He has a chance to move past Eichel. Only needs 11 more assists to do that. I say he does it tonight

The Dahlin hate on the main boards and the trade boards has officially reached peak HF insanity

Is it time to stop making excuses for Dahlin?

Some even on this board could take a look at this post and give this kid a damn break.

Read the Sabres facebook most seem to think trading him for a used bag of pucks would be an upgrade and the team will stop letting in goals and make a push for the playoffs lol. If we ever did I'd like to see him on Tampa or another great team to see what he can really do. Springing forwards that can finish with some elite passing.
