Rumor: Canucks shopping Jonathan Dahlen

[Bobby9]

Logan Stanley for Dahlen?

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Except it's still a steal.

A rumor doesn't change anything.

What has he accomplished more than Burrows exactly?

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

f***

I read Jonathan Drouin

 

[Ace of Hades]

What has he accomplished more than Burrows exactly?

What does that have to do anything? We're talking about value here.

We got a solid very young LW prospect and dealt a 35+ washed up fourth liner. That is a steal given the ages and the level of where their career is respectively headed.

 

[notsocommonsense]

I remember when Canucks fans laughed at Ottawa fans for stealing him....lol.

Mis-read, my bad

 

[Atoyot]

Maybe in his d+1 season but he dominated Allsvenskan last season without EP or any help.

Dominating Allsvenskan at 20 is not impressive. If you're playing in Allsvenskan at 20 it's not a good sign.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Dahlen had a slow start but has been quite good recently.

 

[Drew311]

Believe me that everything Is fine in what ?

I'm not claiming to have inside sources like Sekeres is which is a load of poop

But you are claiming to know that he doesn’t have any legitimate sources. Not sure how you could know that.

Gustav Forsling for Jonathan Dahlen

Hate to break it to you...it’s not a steal if the guy you acquire accomplishes nothing with you even if the other guy was washed up lol.

That's a what if scenario you are implying. I'll take my chances.

I wonder what the Canucks are looking for in return. Are they dangling him as part of a package (or maybe on his own) for a long term roster player to come back? Or are they just looking to cut ties with him?

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

from first overall to trade bait all in one year...

Spoiler

i know

 

[go comets]

Dahlen is pretty much a perimeter princess.....not much else..

 

[CanuckGame39]

This is a bull**** rumour.

Dahlen is 100% part of the future of this team.

That's not how it works.

A prospect is a lottery ticket. (Like draft picks.) If doesn't need to hit to be a good trade.

The potential for him to become an NHLer was worth trading the aged Burrows.

I have a feeling you won't get this concept.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

29pts in 50 games for a player's 1st year is bad ? 1st year in North America, too.

The f***.

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

Come back to Ottawa...

I get the concept that folks on here value prospects more than legit NHLers. It only makes sense if they actually accomplish something. That’s like trading in your old car for a new one that never runs.

[pullyoursocksup]

this makes no sense (yet doesn't mean it's untrue). Not only is Dahlen the canucks best current forward prospect outside of the NHL, but he is also best friends with Pettersson, they've had terrific success together as linemates, he has had a decent season with Utica, and fits into a serious need for the team as a wing prospect who is <2yrs from NHL minutes.

Unfortunately, with Benning at the helm this could very well be true and fits with his rhetoric in interview about the deadline - wanting to 'improve' the team, and talking about resigning edler and tanev to multi-year deals.

 

[PetterssonSimp]

Sekeres went on to tweet about Canucks thinking Dahlen isn’t an NHL level skater. So at his size not being able to translate to the next level.
TBH I never felt his skating was all that bad. Someone called him a perimeter princess, from the times I’ve watched him I felt this was more often true with spurts of going to the dirty areas. Mostly felt it was his willingness to commit to the 200ft game that would probably be asked of him in a 2/3 line depth role had he made the NHL. I’d look at defenceman around the same age

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Didn’t Pettersson & Dahlen rip it up together in the Swedish Elite league? Why not bring him up first and see if they can rekindle that magic before shopping him? This literally makes no sense.

in the allsvenskan league, it's their 2nd teir

 

[LeafChief]

Seems odd. I wouldn't move him if I were Vancouver.
