Over under 48 points as a rookie?

I know Myers was a D+2 when he was a rookie and won the Calder but I am curious to see if Dahlin can put up the #s that Myers did. With RoR gone I am guessing our top PP unit will be

Mittelstadt-Eichel-Reinhart/Okposo

Dahlin-Risto

If we were able to have the #1 PP 2 seasons ago with a PP1 based around Eichel, Reinhart, Risto and Okposo. Mittelstadt for RoR is an upgrade strictly on the PP when you consider strictly offensive talent as Casey is a better passer, shooter, playmaker etc.

But in the end while I think he will come close I think he will just fall short and put up something like 15-30-45. I am pretty confident that we will have 2 of the 3 Calder finalists (Casey and Rasmus). If say Casey or another rookie forward puts up 55 points and Dahlin puts up 45 I assume the voters would give the nod to Dahlin as 45 points as an 18 year old true rookie dman is more impressive then 55 points from a D+2 forward.

Depends on which PP unit they put him on as that alone is probably a 10-15 point difference. Our team tends to frontload PP1 time very heavy like Pittsburgh. I also don't see them using two D on PP1.

SABRES SIGN DAHLIN TO ENTRY-LEVEL CONTRACT

BUFFALO, N.Y. (July 9, 2018) — The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team has signed defenseman Rasmus Dahlin to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Dahlin (6’3”, 185 lbs., 4/13/2000) was taken by Buffalo with the first overall selection in the 2018 NHL Draft last month in Dallas. He became just the third player to be taken No. 1 overall by the Sabres, joining Gilbert Perreault (1970) and Pierre Turgeon (1987).

 

[Sabre Dance]

Please be great.

 

[Gabrielor]

Good stuff!

Botterill has aged.

 

[Ace]

I like that shirt Gilbert is wearing.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Time to lay more of those open ice clean hits and dangle oh Swedish Savant.

 

[sabres4ever]

Yes! welcome aboard, kid! Do great things!

 

[Gabrielor]

That’s twice now that Rasmus and Gilbert have been together, while Gilbert’s wearing the better blue.

Rasmus even commented on it

 

[N.Y. Orangeman]

The kid has to be tired of posing for pictures with GP at this point.

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

Awesome! This kid is going to be great

 

[Myllz]

Not an 8 year ELC, Botts fails.

 

[ZZamboni]

Highly doubtful.

I'll be his stand-in.

 

[sabrebuild]

Not that it matters, but is he back in town? Or did he sign this during camp and they waited to release it publicly for some reason?

 

[Digable5]

He’s too young for the core. Trade him.

 

[Zman5778]

Jeez. Talk about overpaid.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Officially listed as 6’3” for the first time. Maybe they’re just rounding.

 

[Chainshot]

Shouldn’t they trade him before he starts to decline?
