As the most anticipated young defenseman to enter the game in over 15 years, Rasmus Dahlin joined the league at only 18 years of age; a feat virtually unheard of in the modern NHL. His skating prowess and deftness with the puck were immediately evident, but defending against men twice one's age is a struggle even for a 1st overall phenom. He continued to make gains every season, but in more ways than one, his fifth in the NHL felt like an official arrival.
The Trollhättan, Sweden native scored 73 points in 78 games, placing him fifth in the NHL, and he improved his play considerably in all three zones. A truly singular talent, Dahlin does things on the ice that no defenseman has done before. He may sometimes appear indifferent to conventions-or even wholly uninvolved-but underlying that insouciance is an edge and competitive intensity that's sure to make his Buffalo Sabres a serious (and highly entertaining) contender in the very near future.
