Game Changer
If Power is better than the current Dahlin, we are golden then.
We'd have a borderline elite number 1 D playing #3 D. A problem every single team would love to have

Reminder that the people crapping on Dahlin as a bust are the same ones who wanted to exile my giraffe to Seattle before this season in the expansion draft.

To be fair, I think basically everyone except you was ready to give up on Tage before this season. He hadn't shown much.
The Dahlin hate, on the other hand, has, at best, a tenuous connection to the reality of his play.
I was thinking uber star. Then, I thought mega star. But after some research, I'm finally settling on ultra star.

Shoulda got one game in
I was still on the Tage train. I just had him as a 3RW. Not ideal as the prospect in return for ROR, but nothing to hold against the guy. Now I picture him as a 3C on an offensive line.

Granato should wake up everyday and call Dahlin immediately and say "attack the net today"
The moment he does it regularly, he'll be a consistent game changer.

Sabres D Rasmus Dahlin had two assists vs The Wild to extend his home points streak to eight games, the longest by a Buffalo defenseman since Phil Housley had two eight-game runs during the 1989-90 season
Ras is turning into an absolute stud.

Dahlin looked like prime Erik Karlsson last night

I've been impressed with the snarl that was mentioned pre-draft finally showing itself.
My son has been watching him lately and after last night's exchange mentioned "it's like he just goes back to the bench and uses the whetstone" while miming sharpening a blade. He's a stick-mean guy and he's taken to make runs at some guys early in games. It will get him space - guys like Potvin weren't all bodychecks and fights, there was a lot of pugil-stick jousting to clear the crease.

If it wasn't for the critics, Tage would still be trying toe drags every other shot and Dahlin would be turning it over at the blueline. Here's to you Mr Generational Hockey critic. We salute you!

Progress. Play to your guy's strengths, shield the weaknesses.

An apt description. And I know you're not making a direct comparison, but I do recall some in his draft year comparing him to Potvin.
