Status quo
Why you turn this into a management thread?
Two assists today giving him 7 points in 12 games so far. Good starts for him. Still expect for him to eventually land on the top line with EP and Brock. Not that I think that he's a legitimate 1st line player, but I think he'll fit in well with EP and Brock.
For his first full season in NA, anything over 0.5 ppg is good for me. Like I said, I don't think he's a legitimate first line player, so his development curve might be different than those who are expected to be top line players.
Just like Pettersson he should be getting many more points with the fantastic set ups he has made. Has hit the post several times as well.
Right now he's the only high end offensive forward on that team.
I'd expect to see him with Pettersson soon.

What is he then?
Any top six NHL winger pretty much dominates this level right from the start.
Nonetheless, 12 games is a small sample size. He's been playing much better as of late so those points might start to pile up soon.

Where do you get this idea from? The p/g paces for allsvenskan graduate comparables like Will Karlsson and Filip Forsberg aren't that far off from Dahlens pace atm. And didn't Dahlen only start picking up his scoring recently? I believe he went pointless in his first few games, and that was before some of our strongest offensive players went down to injury.

Will Karlsson's 24 pts in 37 games was in his D+3, and Forsberg's 34 pts in 47 games was in his D+2... So... not "way off".

I didn't know there was such a massive difference in ppg between .64 and .58... Regardless, we should be having this discussion at the end of his time in the AHL, or at least at a point where we can compare sample sizes more accurately.

I was responding to someone who said he doesn't expect better than 0.5 this season.
In my view if he puts up 0.5 in the ahl over a full season and doesn't play any NHL games then he's probably a bust.

orcatown comment on dahlen from the game yesterday:
Dalhen - Made some great set ups including a real nice cross ice pass to Kero on the first goal. He is solid on his skates and hard to knock down. Has finesse and offensive skill in playing making and shot. Real offensive upside here. Best prospect on the team right now IMO.

Well don't do that! That would be the rational, objective way to assess, and of course that doesn't fit pre-determined narratives of some!
Why? I think itd be better to let him pile on the points in Utica, get his confy up and then bring him up. Maybe in late December or January. Step by step
Because he’ll make us better now and EP needs someone to convert for him.
Just not sure its best for his development since its only been a couple a games where his offense is better. Let it gro then send him up. Peetey is fine for now with the duds, it has to make him more creative lol

Not trying to fit in
Agree completely - let him start to dominate the AHL THEN call him up. No rush here........
