Really wish he was in the SHL though, we already know he's a good player at this level
Has he played yet this year?
Great news this morning, Dahlen is moving to Brynas of the SHL! Hope he does well.
*edit - WILL move up to Brynas soon (starting in Dec), so won't be joining Pettersson in Vaxjo.
He participated in the latter part of the Vancouver camp. He practiced and played in both preseason games for the Comets and practiced up to just before the first game and then his name was missing form the final roster with no explanation. He was gone.
The medical profession in Sweden hasn't discovered any miracle cures that the medical profession in the U.S. doesn't have. This mono thing is just another way to paper over the fact that Benning doesn't have the balls to tell a prospec,t "You signed with the Vancouver Canucks and we expect you to develop within our system, on NA sized rinks, learning our system, under the tutelage and guidance of our development staff." The prospect doesn't tell his team where he will play and where he won't.
Benning needs to start wearing big boy pants and quit signing these escape clauses. Tryamkin, Rodin, Dahlen, and apparently Petterrson as well, all have them. Only Rodin has decided to report to the AHL and take his chances, SO FAR.
Now, Benning needs to provide the crop of prospects he stuffed in Utica with too many vets, a trio of play making centers to work with them. I don't care how he has to do it, but they are not going to develop without them. Chaput is okay. Gaunce would be another. Who he has to trade, sell or loan to do it is his problem. Utica GM Johnson needs to start earning his pay as well. He hasn't done one thing since taking on that role. He has been basically invisible. Get with your boss Ryan, and get something done!
Regardless of where we finish, I am never expecting anything but 5-8, that's the way it will be,
Because of that fact, WE NEED MORE 5-8 picks in the line-up, if Joulevi turns out and Jake can be a 20 G guy, we still need more talent on the blueline, and at least once more center...
Funny how I just forget about Peterson....Something tells me that guy isn't the answer, I don't know, We need guys who grew up dreaming of winning the Stanley Cup not the World Championships, he might be a good offensive contributor, but I still feel like we need another top 6, 18-20 minute, North American or North Americanized 60 Pt. center and a 23-25 minute 40 pt D-man with a strong Plus/minus (yeah plus/minus DEAL WITH IT) if we are ever going to seriously consider the dream of being swept by a REAL hockey team in the 2nd round.
Dahlen should be in Utica RIGHT NOW being the ANSWER to the center problem
I don't know if Petterson is eligible? Something tells me he isn't, but if he is and he isn't in Utica next year, I swear to GOD I will ***** about it online all year
Prospects should play for OUR prospect team, if Mono was a problem he wouldn't be playing AT ALL
Rumors about Switzerland aswell

You sound racist.
Just exactly what race are the Swedes?
This may be one of the most ludicrous statements I have read on this site.
Sorry... xenophobic.Just exactly what race are the Swedes?

Wait, is the Brynäs thing just a rumor, or has that been reported officially?
