Wow what a game. This kid seems to have some real potential.
I think my favourite thing about this player is his compete level. His shot looks great, but he's not just some perimeter player who relies on his shot to score. He's right in there mucking it up with the bigger players almost like... Burrows.

It's not a steal. People don't understand the concept of having to pay prospects to get players to help win the cup now.

It's a bad deal value wise. If Ottawa offered Chlapik or even a 2018 second I would have been happy to to trade a 36 year old 3rd line winger with an expiring contract. The fact that Canucks got such a high calibre prospect is literally unbelievable.

I'm pretty confident that the Sens have Chlapik ranked higher than Dahlen, and theres good reason for that. He's first in PPG amongst the Q's top 25 scorers by a solid margin and is bigger and more well rounded, too.
I think it's also relevant as to what the going rate for players was during the trade deadline that year.
For what most players were getting, what we did get for Burrows was a steal. Dahlen was picked in mid 2nd round in his draft, but if you were to redo that draft again end of this year, pretty sure he would be a late 1st round pick. That year was a pretty deep draft as well.
Dahlen > 1st round pick this year in my opinion and I thought we'd be super lucky to get a 2nd for Burrows, was expecting a 3rd at best honestly.
Pulling for Alex in Ottawa and into the playoffs; but some posters might not be aware that he was a buy-out candidate at the end of last season in VanCity...in fact it was 50-50 as whether he'd return.....so was stunned the Canucks got anything for him, much less a prospect like Dahlen.....and then Burrows got a two-year contract extension from the Sens......just wow!

You really think Ottawa is a cup contender?
Using this logic you could excuse a bunch of reckless deals.

Please explain.
The winner if this 6 team mini league (Allsvenskan 3rd-8th) faces the loser of the Allsvenskan finals (Allsvenskan 1st vs 2nd) in a best of 3. The winner of that series gets to play for promotion against the 2nd worst SHL team in a best of 7.
Something like that.

Except A: Ottawa has 0 chance at a cup; they have bad possession numbers and in general do not look like a contender, and B: They gave up their 2nd best forward prospect, and probably their best scoring prospect.
Dahlen is going to be a player.

How exactly? he is badly surpassing even the most hyped fans expectations, he is eating the swedish league apart.
