Shipping was too much so I couldn't do it.So which of you insane buggers bought Rasmus´gameworn jersey from his last season in Frölunda för 4000USD + shipping?
He’s got McDavid/Datsyuk type hands and elusiveness. If he played centre, we still would have picked him first overall.
Totally forgot that Olofsson was also on Frolunda. That must be cool for the two of them.
The coolest thing about it is that Baker watched a ton of their games because of Olofsson and when the Sabres won the lottery his hype on Dahlin was amongst the highest of everyone. He’s the one who said Doughty was his floor...and this is a guy who is good at his job and had watched him as much as anyone
Also the guy who ranked Mittelstadt 3 in 2017.
I remember listening to the wgr coverage on draft day and he kept throwing Mittelstadt’s name in and the other guys kept brushing past it. Then around pick 6 Baker got noticeably excited about it possibly happening at 8
So many on this board wanted a D because “draft for need”....one year later we need a C like Mittelstadt more then a D. Can we all admit how stupid passing on a superior prospect for need is at the top of a draft?

Cool to finally see some video of him in Sabres gear.
Is Dahlin going to sign sometime next week?
There isn't one, and you can probably count on one hand the amount of forwards that can do the things this kid can do with the puck.Name one other Dman in the NHL over 6 feet tall with hands like that...you won't be able too...

I totally agree. Dahlin is in the McDavid class, Eichel's a clear cut below.I want to say that Doughty in his younger days attempted similar dangles, but not that smooth and casual.
I know ppl have their doubts, but I said it before, Dahlin has better hands today than Eichel does. And it’s not a shot at Eichel, Dahlin is just that good.
A week like this bums me out that I’m not close enough to catch a skate or two during work.

You’re preaching to the choir on this.
It’s actually kind of hilarious where neglecting D landed us. The best D prospect in my lifetime lol.
So Murray did a good thing...But do you really believe that drafting a McAvoy, Serg, Chychrun would've stopped Buffalo from drafting Dahlin. In fact, if we did draft Defense, we would have a young top 4 that could go into the next decade as the best in the league.
But, again, the argument was whether to take Defense who were ranked in the same tier as Forwards(the basis for Need vs BPA argument). We weren't talking about taking a defenseman 3 tiers below a forward. People have said that a handful of D were in the same tier as forwards. But of course, people just gloss over that fact and think that crowd wanted us to take Defense no matter what.
We wouldn't have finished last with even one more competant player on the roster.
And how do you know how the team had people ranked? How do you know Nylander and Mittelstadt weren't in their top 3 or 4 and the D left was in the double digits?
You don't.
