Thats one of the few things he got right with this list. Dahlin is the best young defenseman in the league. Don't blame Buffalo's ineptitude on him.
How has he separated himself from that other group of defensemen?
I know Buffalo isn't an ideal environment; but Hughes turned in to a 22+min #1 d man; Heiskanen carried the heaviest minutes and responsibilities in a very impressive playoff run; and Makar was on pace for 60+ pts and won the Calder.
Dahlin is a very smooth defenseman and I see a great career - I just don't see how he's separated from this group so much. Seems he's being over-hyped.
