Maybe, but IMO Heiskanen has been more impressive. Also most pundits Ive seen that are giving early calder predicitions have Heiskanen above Dahlin. I think this is incredibly close.Dahlin should and will win this poll. Better poll should be who will have a better rookie season or who is so far
I think it's closer than people think though
1st overall pick taken last year though and showing he can play at this level? He'd beat anyone in a prospect comparison poll
yea, must be the hype completely....no way it could possibly be that he is just better....Didn't expect it to be this lopsided. I guess Dahlin is still riding the 1st overall hype.
Not saying that he isn't good, I just don't believe it should be this lopsided because I think that they are very close as players.yea, must be the hype completely....no way it could possibly be that he is just better....
Or he’s just been really good.Didn't expect it to be this lopsided. I guess Dahlin is still riding the 1st overall hype.
Its not like Dahlin is failing up to expectations even when he's not getting points he's rarely getting scored against at even strength...he got one minus against the Predators a few games ago the past 6 games he's only got 2 assists but still was +4 in those games despite 5 of 6 being losses. Sabres just got outscored 6 to 2 yet he was +1 with 1 assist. Unfortunately the Sabres have been piling up injuries on the defense so we are stuck icing pretty awful bottom pairs til McCabe/Scandella come back. I doubt anyone would argue that Bogosian is carrying the top pairing atm....
If a player is better by a slim but clear margin then he should get all the votes theoretically. The poll numbers should answer the question asked not a representation of how close the players skill level are relative to eachotherNot saying that he isn't good, I just don't believe it should be this lopsided because I think that they are very close as players.
Betting on future is not always non-risky.Miro's great but c'mon
I believe Espn had the wrong stats for the Philly game listed there when I looked but still +2 overall despite the Sabres being outscored in 5 of 6 of the games.Where do you get your stats from? In today's game he was -1 with no points
The injury argument is definitely not an excuse either. Stars have been using 3 AHL dmen on the roster for a month now. The other dman in our bottom 4 that's not an AHL dman is Roman Polak
Your post has quite a few things wrong with it I get what you're trying to say though

Why does it have to be about future? I think Dahlin is already better than Heiskanen now. And that's not to say Heiskanen hasn't been great himselfBetting on future is not always non-risky.
Lol if you want to talk injuries on the backend and how that might affect other dmen play you should take a peek at what Dallas in icing... as a small preview they have Roman Polak playing just about 22 a night right nowIts not like Dahlin is failing up to expectations even when he's not getting points he's rarely getting scored against at even strength...he got one minus against the Predators a few games ago the past 6 games he's only got 2 assists but still was +4 in those games despite 5 of 6 being losses.

Dahlin's the better player right now and going forwardDidn't expect it to be this lopsided. I guess Dahlin is still riding the 1st overall hype.
