but why

 

[Finnish your Czech]

Love Dahlen

 

[TeddyBare]

Trading Pettersson's best friend.

Better hope this works.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

but why

Guys whose names sound like generational defensemen for each other is the only reason

 

[ccman68]

Maybe now people will stop acting like the Burrows trade was bad.

 

[Acetylene]

Wow, Nucks really soured on Dahlén

 

[ijuka]

Why does Vancouver do this? Did they think it was Erik?

I think Dahlen was better, had more potential and had the presumed chemistry with Pettersson.

 

[kladorf2005]

I guess there just wasn't enough room for 2 3 Karlsson's on the same team after all

 

[howkie]

Traded twice, something fishy with Dahlen, is daddy Ulf just as bad as Nylnder?

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Dahlen did nothing in the AHL. Pretty disappointing. Fine with this deal!

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Dahlin for Karlsson

 

[Canucks LB]

Dahlen struggled incredibly in the AHL, has been getting a bit better recently, but big skating issues with him unfortunately.

 

[Soundgarden]

The other Dahlen for the other other other Karlsson.

 

[howkie]

I guess there just wasn't enough room for 2 Karlsson's on the same team after all

3..... you forgot Melker

 

[mcpw]

Burrows for Dahlen was clearly the next Erat for Forsberg, as predicted by many HF posters.

 

[CupInSIX]

1st thought: damn they got Dahlen
2nd thought: wait, how many Karlssons do they even have in SJ???

 

[jfhabs]

Why would Vancouver move Dahlen before giving him a fair shot. He's still young and has shown success in the past...

You mean 3

(Melker)

 

[SharksFan1]

I guess there just wasn't enough room for 2 Karlsson's on the same team after all

This was SJ's third Karlsson.

 

[BC Ben]

Thought Dahlen had a future here... have to be honest that I’m not that familiar with Karlsson, Linus. SJS fans?

 

[Used As A Shield]

I guess there just wasn't enough room for 2 Karlsson's on the same team after all

3*

 

[Seatoo]

Benning is so bad at his job its laughable.

 

[Gaunce4gm]

Bad deal for the Canucks. Good job San Jose, robbed ANOTHER team blind.

 

[The Macho King]

Dahlin for Karlsson?!

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Love this. Karlsson was a 3rd round pick last year who’s putting up good stats in the Swedish league. Right handed Center. Love his potential.
