Dahlin vs Heiskanen

[dire wolf]

They're both great. That's all you need to know.

 

[Duke Silver]

The following is from the HockeyWriters...

That phrase never leads to good things.

 

[TT1]

Lucky for me I have both in my keeper pool. And Chabot.

Chabot vs Heiskanen would be a better debate

 

[GOALOFSSON]

Both players had 24 points at even strength and then one saw a lot of top PP time. There's your difference. And no, it's not because Dahlin is better. It's because you don't replace one of the best PP quarterbacks in the NHL in John Klingberg in your rookie season.

Feels relevant to mention this now as well:

Heiskanen's points away from Benn-Seguin-Radulov: 20 out of 33 points

Dahlin's points away from Reinhart-Eichel-Skinner: 9 out of 44 points

I do believe Dahlin will be the higher point producer throughout his career, but let's not ignore the facts and pretend he's drastically better. It's closer than everyone thinks they just don't want his precious #1 overall and "generational" title to be "ruined" by someone performing close to or at his level

Now do this without the PP involved.

Huh? It'd knock Dahlin down even more and Heiskanen down maybe 1 or 2 points max.

 

[GOALOFSSON]

but it would eat actual points scored for miro, at least i'm assuming so because he was on PP2.

Unless I'm wrong and Miro only scored 4 points with the top 3 in Dallas all year.

He had 13 points with the top guys in total wdym

 

[GOALOFSSON]

oh yes, then PP points make up part of the 20 you mentioned right?

You are trying to paint a picture that isn't there.

Miro had 8 points on the powerplay all of last season. I know for a fact at least one of them was a pass to Jamie Benn for a goal so that leaves potentially 7 points that he got on the 2nd unit. With that being said, I didn't take those out of Dahlin's totals either so I don't know why that matters exactly. I'll check later to see exactly what that leaves them with

Do we want to compare their draft +2 years to each other? Because 10 periods in to Dahlin’s (6 points, 0 goals allowed while on the ice) I’m ready to call it.

 

[Backcheckmonster3]

Oh wow, Armia just made vasmus hold his pocket. LOL

That didn't age well

 

[Backcheckmonster3]

Dahlin takes a penalty... Armia rams it in a second time.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Dahlin is going to double Heiskanens total from their D+2 season.6 points in 3 and 1/3 games. And he is 19. How many dmen have scored 50 points at age 19 and 1/2?

Well there is his 7th

 

[Just doink]

Dahlin is so fun to watch.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

51 points in his first 85 and 2/3rds games.

 

[Tage2Tuch]

I just heard that Dahlin has been on the ice for ten buffalo goals and zero against

Is this true?

Oh wow, Armia just made vasmus hold his pocket. LOL

I’m sure Dahlin won’t be able to sleep st night knowing that the great armis did that to him.

As a teensrgar .....a. DMAN.....ON BuffaLO

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

Dahlin with 7 points already. Heiskanen had 33 points in his D+2 season, I wouldn't be surprised if Dahlin puts up 66 in his.

 

[aufheben]

Horse****. Everyone watched Dallas play in the playoffs last year. Absolutely no one watches Buffalo unless their team is playing them. Buffalo is a small market that's been mired at the bottom of the standings for years. IMO Dahlin is underhyped by national media.

This is true. I watched probably 20 Dallas games and 1 maybe 2 Buffalo games last year. Heiskanen received an enormous amount of justified praise during the playoffs, and people were definitely tuning in during the regular season just for Heiskanen. I tried to force myself to watch Buffalo games last year and I still just couldn't lol.

That classic Western Conference excuse that everyone on the east coast is apparently a farmer and in bed by sunset is such baloney.

Dahlin ANIEC

[WetcoastOrca]

Dahlin. This won’t end up being close when both hit their prime. Dahlin is going to be one of the greats.

 

[HabsMD97]

dahlin, but the points are gonna slow down this season, he's been getting quite a lot of secondary assist on a hot sabres pp.
