Tre Mac Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 http://lastwordonhockey.com/2017/07/28/tsp-vancouver-canucks-prospects/ Quote #5 Prospect: Jonathan Dahlen Left Wing/Centre — shoots Left Born December 20th 1997 — Östersund, Sweden Height 5’11” — Weight 176 lbs [180 cm / 80 kg] Drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the 2nd round, #42 overall at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft Traded to the Vancouver Canucks, February 2017 Dahlen was acquired from the Ottawa Senators at the trade deadline, in a move that sent Burrows to the nations capital. He played with Elias Pettersson in the Allvenskan and had a remarkable seaosn with 25 goals and 44 points in 45 games. He also added six points in four playoff games. At the World Juniors he had five goals and six points in seven games. Skating Dahlen is not the fastest skater, but his speed isn’t bad either. It is currently slightly above average, and improved last season. He could be even better with a more fluid stride. Its a bit awkward and choppy. Dahlen could stand to work with a good skating coach and improve his technique to get faster. He does have some outstanding agility and edge work though. Even without the speed, Dahlen is able to beat defenders one-on-one with his good stickhandling skills, and his ability to quickly change directions, or change speeds. He could stand to work on his balance and not be pushed around as much in battles along the boards. This may come just from increased muscle mass though. Offensive Game Dahlen is an impressive offensive talent. He may be a bit undersized, but he has all the skills scouts look for when it comes to an offensive forward. He has an excellent array of shots, including a good wrist shot with a quick release; a hard slapshot; and a quality backhand. He has the soft hands to make moves on defenders and get himself the open space to get a shot off, as well as the hockey sense and the elusiveness to find open spots in the defence where a teammate can hit him with a pass. Dahlen can also play the role of play maker, with excellent vision and hockey sense, and the talent to slide the puck through small openings, or flip a saucer pass to a teammate. He can stand to be more physical, and play a bit less of a perimeter game going forward though and get to the more dirty areas of the ice. Defensive Game Jonathan Dahlen’s defensive game is a bit of a work in progress. He has a tendency to fly the zone early as he looks to drive offence through the transition game. He also can get caught out of position when he starts to puck watch and stops moving his feet. A good coach will need to work with Dahlen before he is ready to get to the NHL level. Outlook Dahlen has signed his entry-level contract and will head to Canucks camp looking for a job. That seems unlikely, though. Dahlen is likely to need another season of development. Whether that happens in the AHL, or back in Sweden though remains to be seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 This is pretty much what I figured the player/management thought process would be but I don't think I've seen anyone actually mention it in media: http://www.dobberprospects.com/jonathan-dahlen/ Quote July 2017 - We'll have to wait until after training camp to find out where the goal-scoring winger will end up playing in 2017-18 but through interviews at the Canucks' recent development camp, it was revealed that if Dahlen was close to being NHL ready he'd suit up in the AHL with the Utica Comets. If the Canucks' brass feel he's a little bit away yet, a chance to reunite with his best friend and Canucks' top prospect, Elias Pettersson with Vaxjo of the SHL is a tantalizing proposition. At this point, both choices appear to be quite favourable for Dahlen's long term development. Cam Robinson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 We really need to get our prospects to stop kissing each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Haha...well that's just typical isn't it! Too bad though, was really hoping to get a read on how close he is and as such, whether he'd be close enough to stay in Utica (load 'em up!) or go back to Europe for one more season. I hope folks a re prepared for a likely sub par season statistically though. Mono does a number on you and once behind on conditioning etc, it's hard for most guys to catch up throughout the season. Here's the tweets FWIW: Edited September 5, 2017 by J.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Sounds like off to Europe(2017-18) for this lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper00 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Maybe try to keep him in Utica/Vancouver to monitor his health, let him get seen by our medical staff and ease him in for next Season. Sucks it happens but looks like it's the status that gets them popular with the ladies. Wish that was my case when I got mono last year lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) Hoping he goes back to Sweden. Anyone know if his contract will slide another year that way? I think that's what happened with Goldobin. Edited September 6, 2017 by Derp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what happened with Goldobin. Doesn't slide unfortunately. He has a December birthday and falls into the exception rule (signed at age 19 but turns 20 between Sept 16 and Dec 31 of first year of contract) and is therefore ineligible.

86Viking Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 really disappointed to hear Dahlen has mono and wont be at the youngstars tourney. Was very excited to see what he could show, just Canucks luck. Might be a down year for him depending how bad the mono is. Speedy recover JD!!

Because it spreads and stupid kids like me (I feel mature for 22 but I have moments...) Don't ask these things and before you know it, you lose weight, motivation/energy, and even laying down is painful. I couldn't play EASHL which is a video game, I couldn't imagine trying to play professional hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it is a virus. You can contract it just as easily as a cold. People like to call it the "kissing disease", but that's quite the misnomer. Sucks about Dahlen though, I was looking forward to seeing him skate with everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
