Rank Dahlin currently among NHL Ds
- Thread starter Ben White
- Start date
Voted top 20. Hesitated with top 30.
I think he's the type of player that could rise to top 5 status super quickly, maybe as early as this year or next. I don't think it'll take him long.

If he seriously cuts down on the gaffes in his game I think I’d have no problem putting him top 10. For now I’m comfortable with top 20.
Right now his transition game and control of the neutral zone has to be top 3 in the league (that’s my eye test idk if the stats actually back me up).
The success of the Sabres PP so far is also largely owed to him.

If he gets a point tonight he will be the third dman IN nhl history along with Larry Murphy and drew doughty to start the season with a five game point streak as a teenager.
I don’t understand why people limited it just to Petterson and binnington, (yea lots only said those two were in the conversation, infact some said Heiskanen binnington and Petterson were only in the conversation at one point) I get that both were probably ahead but not by much. Dahlin had like just twenty less points then EP40 and u like him was as a defensemen and unlike him played in his draft year too. D is also harder then the other two positions to learn at the NHL level that young. It’s why so few dmen make it to the NHL in the first year and he only passed Bobby Orr for second all time in nhl history for best dman ever at 18.
He has a good chance if healthy to hit 60 points This year as a teenager,(IMO) and if that happens he will already have 100 pts in the NHL from The back before he even hits 20

Top 20, but I think it could be as high as top 5 depending on what we see this season. He's going to move up, it's a question of how much. What is his base level of points per season and how good will his defense be? If he's scoring 60 points in year 2 and is above-average defensively in year 2, I think we are talking about easily top five, and maybe a guy whose in contention for the Norris.

Obviously yes, but i think the term "worse" in this case is stupid because both of them are great players but if my team had to choose to pick one of them for a one year deal only i'd go with Dahlin over Heiskanen.
