If we get Dahlin, he becomes Weber's D partner & that's it. We aren't trading him & he isn't playing anymore seasons in the Swedish League.
With Dahlin, Weber, Petry & Juulsen that's 4D spots covered. That leaves Benn, Schlemko, Alzner, Reilly, Lernout & Mete battling for 2 spots plus maybe 2 spares.
I can see Mete starting the year in the AHL & Lernout getting waived so that would leave us with 8D baring anymore trades.
Dahlin gives us the playmaking offensive D we need.
Dahlin - Weber 1st PP unit, Petry on the 2nd with Reilly or a forward if Reilly isn't in the line-up.
He'll be a big help, but we still need to do something about the center position which is in a deplorable state.
