that first play of the game he passed up an obvious shot for a drop pass nobody was looking for.

I get that he's uber talented im not blind lol. Ive repeatedly called him our version of marner. But his flashiness doesn't=stardom. In keeping with the leafs comparison, we still need our version of Will Nylander.

The fact that he has the confidence to do that on one of his first NHL shifts is a good sign.

I really think he's going to be something great. Maybe not All-Star top line center, but a top producer.

I began my high-tech career working at Atari in 1979. If you think these graphics are bad ..... lol

after accidentally reading most of eklunds blog titles before i can click on the comments link for these blogs makes me wonder how many suckers look forward to his next post or something

"wow thanks for clarifying on tavares, ek!"

Pominville, aside from the first month of the season, has been a waste of a roster space. Too slow, no finish, too soft, does not go to the corners like most good wingers do, and does not compensate for age and slowness like some other ageing vets have done. He has the hockey iq but nothing else in his toolkit to make a difference except for a few games this year. He should be buried on the 4th line, but then he makes too much $. I really hope he is gone after this year.

I get it...he helped us get Scandella, but it burns me up that TO goes out and gets Marleau while we get Pommer.

I think he'd be a fine 3rd liner next year, as long as some semblance of skill is there.

He's without a dobt not remotely the same player, but still useful IMO

You need to have a guy to throw the ball in windy conditions, and no one has a bigger arm than that kid.

one day this cliche will die

Just read the comments from Garth’s latest blog...

Good lord, those posters have to be some of the most simple minded folks...I think they all hail from Tennessee or Louisanna and call themselves fans of the Maples Laughs, Les Habitants, or some other storied franchise...holy crap, I do hope their voter registration card is expired.

Draft write-up for Rasmus Dahlin

I wanted to get you guys excited just so we can get our hearts crushed later on lol

Rasmus Dahlin is the clear frontrunner for the 2018 NHL Draft. The young Swedish defenceman is in a class of his own in this draft, and it is a pretty safe bet that he will be the top pick, no matter who wins the draft lottery. Playing against men in the SHL, Dahlin has scored 20 points in 41 games for Frolunda this season. He added six points in seven games at the World Juniors and was named the best defenceman in the tournament, winning a silver medal. He even made the Swedish team for the Pyeongchang Olympics, though only played in two games.

Rasmus Dahlin Scouting Report
Defence — shoots Left
Born April 13, 2000 — Trollhättan, Sweden
Height 6’2″ — Weight 183 lbs [189 cm / 83 kg]

Skating
The key to Rasmus Dahlin’s game begins with his outstanding skating. He has very good speed and outstanding acceleration in both directions. His skating is sublime and at times he seems to be floating above the ice. Dahlin has outstanding pivots, agility, and edge work. This allows him to cover all areas of the ice, and transition quickly from offence to defence. Dahlin is strong on the puck, but should get even stronger, and continue to improve his balance as he adds muscle.

Offensive Game
Dahlin is an elite offensive defenceman, who has been playing above his age group for quite some time, both at the international and club level. Dahlin’s passing ability is outstanding, with extremely good vision and the ability to thread the needle through the smallest openings. He can start the rush, make the long breakaway pass, and quarterback the power-play. He also has an outstanding slap shot and one-timer. Dahlin moves the puck out of the zone quickly. He utilizes his skating and strong first pass to start the transition game.

Dahlin’s creativity and hockey sense are off the charts. He makes plays that other defenders would not even dream of trying. His strong skating allows him to walk the line, and to open up passing and shooting lanes. Couple this with the stickhandling to elude defenders one-on-one and the skating to beat them as well, and he is one of the most dynamic offensive defencemen in years.

Defensive Game
Dahlin is also very effective defensively, utilizing his strong positioning as well as the good stick-checking ability to shut down forwards on the rush. He keeps them to the outside and has good gap control. He is not the most physical player, though that may come with more time, and added weight. Dahlin is willing to use his body to fight in the corners and to knock an attacker off the puck, but he does not throw a lot of big hits. In this way he keeps himself in position, and is ready for the next play. When a defensive zone turnover is created, he moves the puck up the ice and transitions quickly to offense.

Projection and Comparison
Dahlin is quite simply the best draft defence prospect we have seen in a decade. Terms like “generational talent” are thrown around often but in Dahlin’s case it is very much deserved. The sky is the limit as far as his potential goes. Now in terms of a style (not talent) comparison, he has the offensive game of an Erik Karlsson, with the defensive game of Drew Doughty. He should be in the NHL and a big-time contributor next season.
