The thing is . [PLayers in the Nhl will key on him always cutting to the middle . but the talent is fuckin unreal. video game shit. the shit he is doing against russia is amazing
The Squeaky Roaster I mean Joe Veleno is a great player and can approach them but I don't think he'll beat them personally it seems like a two horse race
Some say he's better than Karlsson; Insisting that He played better than Karlsson when Karlsson was his age, I would love to see Karlsson and Dahlin play together in Olympic- LOL oh yeah
first pick in #1. Swedens next superstar two-way defenseman. A Erik Karlsson way of attacking the blueline with speed and dekes. He is without a doubt going to play in the NHL in a couple of years and become as big as Karlsson.
Holy shit. Doing this against fulltime highsalaried professionals as a 16year old is so amazing i cant describe it with words.. I watched Erik Karlsson in the same stage, and i can easily say Dahlin is better.. the talent on this kid is unbelievable, but he is still young and things can change especially during those years. But i truly believe he can be one of the best swedish players when he is 22+. Worth the #1 pick right now? Hell yes.
If NHL were to go to the Olympics Team Sweden might have a very good roster especially in defense...In they have many talents.. Hedman Karlsson Ekman Larssom Dahlin Liljedren Boqvist Branstrom Backstrom Lundqvist Sedins Forsberg Ekholm Stralman Hornqvist Zetterberg
@@AbesamisM I do. Sorry if I was vague but this was more from a stylistic perspective. you could probably make the case for makar with how he is through the neutral zone too. However, I dont think makar is of Orr's ilk as much as dahlin has shown to be. Especially in settled play, there are very few guys that can invert offenses and attack the net on a vertical plane in the nhl. Dahlin is one of the few. Of late, Shea Theodore has also looked awesome in this respect.
I saw him this juniors and quickly caught up on youtube. The kid is absolutely sensational, some shifts he is the best player on the ice. He never gets dirty goals either, not that he has scored that much at 16 years of age in the Swedish elite league, but his goals and points are quite gorgeous and he seems to be the organizing force behind all this flashy attack when he is on the ice. He masterminds it. His defense is generally considered way above average for his age but he still blunders badly defensively. He is not perfect, far from it. He does seem to learn quickly though and the upper limit is currently unknown. The potential here is staggering. But as always .. defenders are tricky .. they usually mature after 25 and peak at 28 or so. And one should always pick a forward, particularly centers, before any other position. Unless it is just fucking obvious who is best and if it is Rasmus Dahlin I would not be surprised at all. Still a year away though. :) Also, it would be an interesting change for once to have a defender as first pick and see the Paul Coffey/Erik Karlsson style get a nod. If it works out perhaps we will be talking about the Rasmus Dahlin style of defense in ten years. Cheers :)
He reminds me so much of how Jonathan Drouin played in junior (Halifax QMJHL). Drouin toyed with players as a forward, but its more impressive when a dman can do it.
I hope he's going to be a habs because he has shea weber to look up to even though he doesn't need him but both of them on the powerplay would be scary for every team especially with Weber's shot.
I honest hope this will happen. Swedish players usually works well with the Canucks, I hope we can get the lottery pick next year. Please for once, let us win the lottery.
Which team would you personally like him to end up in and why? I would like to see him end up in a midrange team rather than a bottom-feeder or a stratospheric top contender. More to work with there. What do you think?
Although that might be tempting, they would have to figure out the responsibilities between them as a regular pairing. In PP I could definitely see it happening but not as a regular pair. I'd separate them into two separate D-lines.
LahaveNS sabres aren’t a lost cause team. Idk if you’re too young to know this but sabres were good for a long time. They’re just in a bit of a rut right now.
You strike me as a Capital-Pens fan, because you obviously don't know what a drop-off looks like. Sabres have been good for the longest, and one day your team will fall off too. Rome wasn't built in a day, kiddo.
lucas Rozmus lmao ur a moron, bennings a great GM. He's only been with the Canucks for like 3 years. The situation he was handed when he was hired was horrifying. Previous management was pathetic. Benning drafts well, trades well, signs well. Anyone can argue otherwise but I follow the Canucks deeply and I'm pretty confident in my opinion. The ones who argue it usually reveal the fact that they don't know wtf they're talking about in the same sentence as their argument.
Looks like Buffalo and Arizona are amongst the most likely to land this kid. If the Sabres win the lottery and still can't make it work with Dahlin and Eichel, then they should just give up and throw in the towel.
OMG...his hands! Look at his hands. I rarely see forwards with these kind of hands. Now a defender!!!...who also can play shutdown defense!!! This is a given no 1 for 2018 draft. This is a guy you build a team around! He is 17 and has 5 points (2+3) in 10 games playing against MEN in the SHL. This guy might be "the real deal". This guy is NO 1 pick for sure (if he avoid injures)...yeah you can argue that some Canadien scores 60 goals in QMJHL...but QMJHL and SHL isn´t really a good comparision. Like comapring NHL to some middle eastern hockey league ;-)
Oh Hockey Gods hear our prayers, please let this stud come to Montreal. We offer up 40000 tons of poutine, 200000 liters of Molson beer, and a decades worth of maple syrup.
Well, that's the whole point; he's 16 and was able to play in the men's league. Nicklas Bäckström, Erik Karlsson and Victor Hedman at 17 combined for 14 points in 103 games in the same league.
I GOT HIMN IN MY POOL RIGHT NOW! with laine, OSKAR LINDBLOOOOOOOOOOOOM, DRAISTATLLLLLLLL, TARASENNNNNNNNNKOOOOOOO and lias andersson! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE+ FINDLAND+GERMANY+RUSSIA CONNECTIONS! My team is international!
