It’s this one I always remember when talking about his foot work. Pre hip injury, think that really hurt his development.

LOL I totally forgot that comparison was made on that goal, but the move is the same as what Jonathan does on the regular, only better in Jonathan's case.
Still choked we never gave Shinkaruk a real shot offensively when he had all the confidence and swagger running

Agree that we should've given him a real look before actually dropping him, but it seems like management saw something that was (or wasn't in this case) there and dropped him while he had some value.
Comets broadcaster Andy Zilch commenting that Dahlen has 'blazing speed"....thought that skating was supposed to a weakness to be worked on....didn't catch the AHL steam of the last game, but is 'blazing speed' a bit of stretch?

Dahlén for Burrows will only look worse for Ottawa as the years go on
I think the book wasn't that he was slow, but it was just an awkward stride. But his dad made a career with the exact same stride, it's not something I've been worried about. Just check that Allsvenskan highlight reel and see how many breakaway goals he gets.

Dahlen and Pettersson could be making magic together as soon as next preseason. There's a lot to be excited about here.

Forsberg for Erat 2.0
Forsberg and Dahlen have had similar statistical progression to date aside from Forsberg being in the AHL in the same season Dahlen stayed in the Swedish league

I had Fillip Forsberg going 2nd in the 2012 draft, Dahlen has been incredible so far but please temper your expectations please.

When he was still on the board at 10 I was begging the Canucks to pull out all the stops to move up and get him. I remember when his trade deal had the whole deadline on hold for like hours after the fact, everyone was trying to figure out what the last minute deal was. Was absolutely stunned when it was him for Erat, was an absolutely horrid deal the moment it happened and has only gotten worse and worse

Also suspect this guy is a lot closer than most think. Two years of progress in a man's league, backed by good playoff showings, now entering his draft +3, and an NHLer for a father adds up to a lot of experience to draw on. Goldie's job is in jeopardy and Bae may need to watch his back too.
Always figured that Patterson is a sure thing and that between Dahlen, Gaudette and Lind we'll get another "real good" player. This one might be the first to make his mark.

Think his desision to stay only boosted him. It can never hurt his development leading his team to SHL. These transisions from Sweden to AHL depends most on the players style of playing the game.
Don't understand the argument that Sweden was not beneficial for him this year. I think it was a great decision. Not only was he one of the top scorer, but he led his team to promotion and scored many points in the playoffs. Now he gets a chance to come to Utica for the playoffs.

Watching Dahlen today, he does give off a Shinkaruk vibe. Does that little forward to sideways back to forward move that Shinkaruk used a lot. A difference, at least off what I saw, is that there more quickness with Dalhen. One thing you have to hope is that there is a little more going on between the ears with Dahlen than there was with Shinkaruk.
It's about finding space, driving to the net, and playing a 200 foot game. Shinkaruk couldn't do that at the NHL level. Hopefully Dahlen can.

For me the most important measuring stick for Dahlen on his progression this year is that he scored the same amount of points without Pettersson than he did with Pettersson . That is a HUGE accomplishment and shows me that his point production does not rely on being on a line with Pettersson. Very exciting stuff.
