[The Stig]

So? What do we got?

Sens board seemed to think he was one of, if not their top prospect.

[Baby Pettersson]

Only just heard of him and now I can't believe we have him. That's the scoop from me.

Top notch reporting

 

[Nuckles]

Elias Pettersson is the center on his line, so that's something to keep an eye on.

 

[Knight53]

He's awesome. Adding a highly skilled, high hockey sense, offensive prospect is always good.

 

[NyQuil]

So? What do we got?

Sens board seemed to think he was one of, if not their top prospect.

He's definitely behind Thomas Chabot, Colin White and Logan Brown.

Stock has risen since his draft day.

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

Not sure why Ottawa would cut ties with this player right after drafting him, in the midst of a successful d+1 season.

I don't know a lot about Ottawa's new GM, maybe some Sense fans can chime in here and let us know the thinking behind this move.

 

[ahmon]

His upside, or who I hope he can become is someone like Robby Fabbri.

He's undersized, but is very brave. Battles hard around the net and in corners.

Strength is his shot, also has good mobility/agility.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

Guessing he's our 3rd or 4th best prospect? Anyone have a thought on where he ranks?

Toss up for 3rd best with Demko.

1. Boeser
2. Demko
3. Juolevi
4. Dahlen

after Gaudette so 5th or 6th depending on where you put Virtanen

 

[keslerburrows]

1. Boeser
2. Demko
3. Juolevi
4. Dahlen

Pronman just mentioned him as our 3rd best prospect behind Joulevi and Boeser.

Grain of salt.

Those monkeys were also up in arms about potentially losing Lazar.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Toss up for 3rd best with Demko.

Ties goes to the guy with the most critical position in hockey.

As parallels are already being drawn between Forsberg/Erat and the Dahlén/Burrows-trades:

Filip Forsberg;
- Draft year: 43 GP, 17 PTS - 0,40 PPG (Sweden II)
- +1: 38 GP, 33 PTS - 0,86 PPG (Sweden II)

Dahlén:
- Draft Year: 51 GP, 29 PTS - 0,57 PPG (Sweden II)
- +1 (to date): 44 GP, 42 PTS - 0,95 PPG.

No comparison between the two otherwise, but this is a promising guy we might have gotten our hands on.

Again, I don't expect Filip Forsberg, but Dahlén should be a good player for us!


And yeah, he plays with Elias Pettersson so if we wanted to - we could probably reunite them here in Vancouver too.

 

[timw33]

1. Boeser
2. Demko
3. Juolevi
4. Dahlen

And Gaudette following up at 5.

Not bad. Still need more and more though, we have the Sedin's possibly done after next year and then we have about 80-90 points we need to replace.

 

[Knight53]

Boeser
Juolevi
Demko/Dahlen
Gaudette

that's an interesting possibility

 

[Canucks LB]

NM forgot about chabot

 

[PG Canuck]

Seems like the sens just traded their best prospect for alex burrows

Dahlen wasn't their best prospect. Let's not get carried away.

 

[Nuckles]

I wouldn't call him better than Chabot, White, or Brown.

 

[WonderTwinsUnite]

C'mon dude. You do know who Thomas Chabot, Logan Brown, and Colin White are, right?

Don't be that guy that overexaggerates the single good thing Benning does.

Dahlen was a year older at the draft because of his late birthday. He was "18" at the draft whereas Forsberg was "17".

Even still, really good production by Dahlen as a junior aged player in the Allsvenkan. Not many have done better.

[LeftCoast]

Scouting report from last season describes him as an intelligent and offensively creative forward. One scout described his skating stride as awkward and unconventional, but most other scouts highlight his excellent edge work and explosive acceleration. Go figure.

He's the son of former NHLer Ulf Dahlen who played over 14 seasons (966 games 301 goals) with the Rangers and North Stars.

His stat line from Allsvenskan gets your attention. 24-18-42 in 44 games. Not to mention 5-1-6 in 7 games at WJC-20.
