Trade Dahlin
- Alex the Great


They wouldnt get a top 6 forward right now. He's at his lowest value point of his career.

Ah yes, the Casey Mittelstadt/Tage Thompson proposals of yesteryear. Delightful.

seems as if this had been said about him the prior season, at least...has he hit a new low?

I’ll fix this -

The Panthers will eat them alive whether Dahlin plays well or not

it seems to me, and i admittedly haven't seen all the games, that dahlin has been better at positioning himself against getting burned by speed in the d-zone as of late...

thoughts?

"Hes awful."

Its the way it goes.

He has literally been walked, man on man, in the 1st 22 games of this season more than I've seen a single player have that happen to them in a full season. I think it's 8 times now. Not that Ive ever counted this for another player. It just happens to him so much it's hard not to notice it.

Spot light is shining on him now with Risto’s disastrous play not diverting peoples anger.

You can’t put him through waivers but the press box should have his name on it.

Taco is right, the kid needs a therapist, the team should try him at RD and bring in a Gudas type to protect the softy…

I think you should chug an entire bottle of Jack Daniels as fast as you can next Monday night.

Curtis Lazar has one less point than Anders Bjork is 9 less games.

They actually protected Bjork in expansion.

You know as well as the rest of us that the entire league is calling Adams if he puts Dahlin's name out there.

The kid is nowhere near a lost cause, a bust, a point of no ("know", for all you Kansas fans) return. He makes bone head plays. Unless he's a head case, it's all fixable.

For which team? The Pens, obviously. Of course, I never thought it would happen, but Dahlin should have been shopped before the cat was out of the bag. Now, you couldn't get a top 6 forward for 26.
- lacaprup




That's funny cause you could just move him to forward and he'd be automatic top 6 player.

He just can't play the defense

8 teams have already called Boston on DeBrusk.

Adams will get what he wants for Dahlin.

That's perfect - he'll just be giving the puck up more.

I hope Buffalo at least made a call.

a 4th for Debrusk, id be all over.

Bruins fans saying "6 used goats" is a good offer.

For what it’s worth:

I’ve been told the Sabres have inquired about Jake Debrusk

i think we should take a look at haag and how bad he's been, especially last night where he and joker were on the ice for three ev strength goals against...

going back to the egg they laid vs. calgary (seven games ago,) robert haag has been on the ice for 14 ev goals-against while averaging 16:15 of ev ice-time...twice he was on the ice for three ev-ga (nyr, sea) thrice for two ev-ga and there was not a single game where he didn't allow a ev-ga...

dahlin had one bad game on the ice for three goals against vs. cbj (along with his partner pyssboy)...four other times he was on the ice with one ev-ga and twice none were scored against...he averaged 20:51 over that time (pyssboy was second on d with 18:55)

even strength goals against past seven games (average ev toi)

haag--14 (16:15)
dahlin--7 (20:51)
pyssboy--5 (18:55)
joker (5 gms)--5 (17:28)
