Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Shame, usually generational players just carry their team.
Is Edmonton in the playoffs this year?

How many points have the Sabres scored without one of Reinhart-Eichel-Skinner on the ice? It seems like the only time they score at all is if it's with one of them or Dahlin on ice.
And what analysis is your opinion based on? Because stats wise you are completely incorrect.Dahlin is significantly better IMO.
Last time I checked Dahlin had better possession numbers, both raw and relative to team, but by all means if you have the time please present all statistics in which Heiskanen has been just as good or better.
Looking at those stats Dahlin actually has better relative Corsi and Fenwick numbers and not as close as stated earlier in the thread. Also if we look at their respective teams, Dahlin leads all Sabres skaters who has played more than 20 games in both CF% Rel and FF% Rel whilst Heiskanen is #3 and #5 respectively.Miro Heiskanen Stats | Hockey-Reference.com

You also need to remember Heiskanen has almost 400 more shifts than Dahlin so some information will be skewed. By what i post it looks like Heiskanen has better overall numbers.

Haven't been alive very long eh?Stats wise I’m pretty spot on actually - Raw possession numbers, relative possession numbers, points. But mostly the eye test, Dahlin is going to be absolutely elite and already is well on his way.
Heiskanen is a hell of a talent. But Dahlin is the best rookie Dman I’ve seen in my lifetime.

Or is this where you throw in the qualifier @18yrs old?
I wasn’t around for Bourque, MacInnis, Housley etc. Am too young to remember Lidstrom. I rate Dahlins year as being better than Myers/Phaneuf/anyone else post lockout.
And Heiskanen is a really good hockey player. The difference is that Dahlin is a record breaking defenseman. Why try to compare some of the better up and coming players around the league to a player whose a generational defensemen?
