Hopefully that is the only Karlsson to leave any time soon.

Heard a lot of Dahlen in the past. Ulf's son, right?

 

[Coily]

His dad was pretty awesome

 

[Nighthock]

cool.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Did Dahlen really fall off that much?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Dahlen has 14 and 15 in 50 games in the A at 21. Not bad at all.

Karlsson has 4 and 13 in 48 games in Swe-1 as a 19 year old.

Is this the 4th line player everyone was hoping for?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I like Dahlen's chances of making the show more than Karlsson's but I don't think either have good odds at this point.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

I thought Dahlen was fairly highly regarded?

 

[Bizz]

was hoping it was for Melker. Damn.

It’s all about getting more Swedes in San Jose. Doesn’t matter which team they play for.

Before he played in the ahl he was.

Believe Vancouver got him in the Burrows trade and their fans were pretty excited at the time.

Why would Vancouver do this? Thought he was pretty highly thought of at the draft.

 

[Lebanezer]

It’s good asset management to pick up a former 2nd round pick with upside for a player drafted as an overeager who didn’t make the WJC club this year.

Anyways, Barracuda games will be fun when the Ch-twins arrive, along with our current group + Dahlen.

If they can't pick in the draft, trade for a pick from a prior draft.

 

[fasterthanlight]

Fallin for Dahlen

 

[Negatively Positive]

And then there were 2. We could be Karlsson-less by next season.

I'm getting a good laugh at the people who have decided to write off Dahlen already becuse he's not ripping up the AHL in his first year.

Honestly, the worst case on this trade is that the Sharks are no worse off than they were before it. There's little to no way that Dahlen is a longer shot than Karlsson to make the NHL, and a very good chance that he's going to end up the better player.

Last year at 20 Dahlen was PPG in the Allsvenskan with Timra.

This year at 19 Karlsson has 17 points in 47 games also in the Allsvenskan (but with Karlskrona).

As a 21 year old AHL rookie, being basically 30 points in 50 games isn't that bad for a guy that was, even at his draft, never pegged to be a top 6 scorer. Dahlen's projections were, to the best of my memory, always to be a solid 3rd line grind and score type winger. I don't see anything so far that precludes that from happening.

 

[Coily]

Barracuda are all in

 

[Son of Petter]

As a Canucks fan I feel like we should have gotten a pick back here as well. The optics are not great moving EP's old linemate and good friend.

Hope he scores one of these like his dad.

Man, if Benning sees this it might happen, can you delete?
