Just like everyone else, you pick on 2 guys that weren't "the problem"

Grab a labatt blue, ryan denney jersey and some beef on weck

he had his moments where he just wowwed with his natural abilities...not nearly enough and he had a lot of issues on defense, which wasn't all that unexpected considering he had similar problems in sweden...

filling out his frame will be big for him moving forward

Thank you

Dont tell anyone else or your going to have to argue with everyone the rest of the night.

Did you hear the one about ralph telling him to not go past the red line?. We got a insider on the bench.

I respect your opinion as well, but I disagree.

Eichel has been a star.
Dahlin good for a young guy.

Can you back up this up statistically?

- Boss34

Dahlin’s underlying numbers in his rookie year dwarf Eichel’s.

Eichel wasn’t very good 5 on 5 until his second year

Dahlin was good from the jump

Factor in his young age and the leadership . Dudes a captain at a younger age than jack was named captain.

That's on a top 3/5 nfl playoff defense with solid professional veteran players. Poyer, hughes, hyde, tre???

Flacco you pumped dahlins tires as much as anyone.

Lived up to the hype. Goalscoring you drove the tank for?

I won’t lie and pretend I wasn’t expecting a few more goals.

However, you can see the glimpses of the generational ability he has, and like the other posters on here this evening, I don’t take the fact that he’s produced pretty substantial assist/point totals as a teenager lightly (especially considering the team as a whole did not score a lot of goals)

We’re a lot of them secondary assists ? Sure. However I believe his ability to dictate the PP is in the top percentile in the league (alike Quinn Hughes).

Imagine how good the Eichel, Dahlin, Olofsson trio at the top of the umbrella is going to be once teams have to respect Dahlin’s shot. It’s going to be a cheat code.

Dahlin isn’t the best defensemen ever yet? Only the third highest teenage scoring defensemen ever?
- sbroads24

skinner
reinhart
larsson

Good post

I couldn't agree more.

I'm not saying dahlin is a bust, but I'm not homering myself into overlooking at ever aspect of our terrible hockey team the past 2 years. The oeguals can only be blamed so much.

Not blaming dahlin. but I personally thought he was going to " eichel it"

Eichel burst onto the scene in down town buffalo.
Scored in the first game
S T A R

I was expecting a international super star goal scoring highlight reel player. The connor McDavid of defenseman

You clearly are smart enough to realize the nfl qb , pro bowl situation. They skip it. 6th stringers go at qb.

But go on.....

Then that's your problem, not Dahlin's.

Kid is going to be fine.

I really think Eichel, Olofsson, Dahlin is going to be this decades Stammer, Hedman, kucherov and we are going to have a dynamite PP.

Figure out the PK situation. Find a goalie who can be a 1A/1B with Ullmark (whom I still think has room to improve as goalies usually enter their peak seasons around 28 years old).

Hopefully Adams can find a short term 2C that can be a nice depth 3C once Cozens is ready to play the middle (or Rossi/Lundell if we select either of them this year).

I know it has been a painful past few years and perhaps I’m too optimistic but this team is a few moves (shrewd moves at least) from really breaking out and being a powerhouse for years to come.
