Rumor: Rangers Sign Dawson Leedahl to 3 year ELC

[Bluenote13]

No harm taking a shot on an overager. I'm pretty sure this kid is third generation hockey, I know his father played back in the eighties but never made it to the NHL. His older brother too.

His first coach in the WHL just happen to be an old teammate and friend of Scott Arniel. Always gonnections

That stat bumb is huge. Looks like good guy to give a contract to.

yeah , I agree, but how good is the defense down there?

 

[nyr2k2]

Pshhh he was just Zborovoskiy's passenger.

 

[IamNotADancer]

There is a very fine line between being gritty and just flat out taking stupid penalties.

We will see where and how he fits in, if he fits in.

Judging by elite, his family is a minor league almost-ran dynasty.

Corny, but I still died

I can't help myself

Big guy who plays big. Hits a lot, as most can tell from the Youtube videos. This year he had an obvious boost in production since he was on a line with Sam Steel, but that wasn't all from just him. He has a good motor and playmaking ability, but not elite level. I think he has the potential to be a bottom 6 utility forward in the mold of Carcillo (but more of a fan favorite, rather than a pest).

Let's just say he's a better contract spot than Chapie.

A prospect who might make it is still better than a prospect who we know won't make it. I like the signing. He is not a true goalscorer but a very solid 2-way player with leadership.

Just need to trade for Bear now somehow.

That's the dream. Love Bear. Now we need to find some Russian kid called "Glazov" so we can have Bear, Glazov and Bereglazov.

Seems like this guy is a complete product of Sam Steel, but whatever. Free prospect is a free prospect is a free prospect. I'm guess Rangers got a long look at him watching Zboro this year. So. Yeah. Whatever.

Yes, he produced because he was a.) an overager, and b.) playing with Steel. Still a low-risk signing.

A vast improvement over the Leedhnl joke.

That was a bad one LOL.

Hollweg 2.0?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Hollweg 2.0?

Not expecting anything honestly. But Hollweg isn't a bad comparison, if he makes it. Leedahl brings leadership, which is the best asset of his game. I really hope he makes it and turns into a player similar to Fast. Vanilla Leedahl wouldn't be the worst outcome of his potential

Yes, but can he dance?

Yes, but can he dance?

I don't know... But if he scores a few games in a row, I fully expect someone to publish an article named "Dawson's Streak"

Paddock, of course, yet another gonnection. Gotta have the gonnections.....

I looked alot like that around that age

Lol I meant the gal, sorry for the typo, I was just joking.

I watched that video last night, lol. I would peg her @ 12 or 13. It was an interview geared towards little kids. Dawson is only 17 in that vid. He's "manned up" quite a bit since.

 

[Ola]

Haha I just just kidding too, though he seems to be a pretty funny guy. Albeit very serious. Good add for chemistry if nothing else. Need all types.

Haha based on the pic, I was thinking there's no way that kid is 21.

Hollweg 2.0?

I agree with this

 

[bobbop]

He's having a huge playoff run. Something I always look for.
