Hopefully your Miller to Ana pulls thru for a good return Didn't end up in Anaheim, but considering what we'd get from them -- maybe a Kerdiles or pick at best? -- not gonna complain. Yer off the hook, minister, now call Hansen's location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment. I think it's more a situation where the market just favoured us today (for a change). There was chatter a while back about a 3rd not being enough for Burrows and teams a possibly needing to offer a 2nd (IIRC it was that NYR beat writer guy whose name escapes me at the moment). And it appears that a few teams were interested and it's very likely a competing team offered Jim a late 2nd. At which point, Ottawa would have needed to step up with a better offer, which they did in Dahlén. Clearly, some of the GMs of playoff bound teams appreciate what Alex can provide (as they should if they know their business). And so the market dictated what it would cost for the team that wanted to do what was necessary to secure this asset today. Not a "fleecing" per se but definitely full value on the return.

I've said I think Hansen is now either ANA with Miller or maybe to MTL with a d-men, maybe Edler retained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it from that that his skating has improved. They were interested in him at the draft so have scouted him. If they truly did have their eye on him for a long time then I trust this trade has potential to be franchise defining and go down as one of the best in franchise history. I dont believe saying that potential is insanity @hearditall. Canucks traded a 35 year old 3rd liner for an A level prospect who isn't even 20 yet? This trade has big potential for the Canucks.

Tank Swank Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 The trade works for me - Dahlen seems to be a decent prospect. We need more of those, big time. Huge thanks to Burrows for all his hard work over the years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickels Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Does JB have a type ? "Dahlen/Granlund/Baer" very similar players. Probably increases the chance that Baer or Granlund is exposed in ED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All prospects are a crap shoot but this kid has a lot of potential. He also has proven nhl family DNA. Having a father who has played a 1000 nhl games can't hurt.

70seven Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Just to compare: Willie Nylander (May birthday)@ 17 years old in SWE 1 - 8 points in 18 games David Pastrnak (May birthday) @ 17 years old in SWE 1 - 24 points in 36 games Jonathan Dahlen (Dec birthday) @ 19 years old - 42 points in 44 games Id say he's a step below the other two, but Dahelns current value is that of a mid - late 1st round pick imo, except he's further along in development. Hopefully he comes to NA for training camp next season! Excellent trade by Benning. Slow clap and bravo! Really interested to see what they are able to get for Hansen now! Wish Burrows all the best, but dont see Ottawa as a contender. The fact that they were willing to work an extension likely had a large impact in accepting a deal, and he gets to move close to his family out east...
