-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Quote Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has acquired forward Linus Karlsson from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for forward Jonathan Dahlen. Karlsson, 19, has registered 17 points (4-13-17) in 48 games for Karlskrona HK in the Allsvenskan. In 2017.18, Karlsson registered 27 goals and 25 assists (27-25-52) in 42 games for Karlskrona Junior in the SuperElit league. He tied for the league lead in goals and finished tied for second in points en route to being named the league's top player. A native of Eksjo, Sweden, Karlsson represented Sweden at the 2019 World Junior Championship collecting an assist in three games. The 6-1, 187-pound forward was selected by San Jose in the third round, 87th overall, at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-linus-karlsson/c-305210974 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -AJ- Posted February 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2019 Looks like he improved a lot over last year, but I'm hesitant to say I like this deal. I'm just gonna have to trust Jimbo with this one since he's proven me wrong countless times before. Dahlen was looking pretty decent in Utica and has obvious chemistry with Petey. A bit worried how EP will take this news. Karlsson looks like a decent player in the SHL (actually not, see EDIT2 below) this year, 17 points in 48 games in his draft+1 year. EDIT: The more I think about it, the more this could be a good deal for us. Dahlen played in Sweden's 2nd league for two years after being drafted whereas Karlsson is already in the SHL immediately after being drafted, which shows a faster progression. I've already changed my mind, I like this deal now. EDIT2: It looks like he's not in the SHL. I might have misinterpreted it. Then I'm kind of back to meh. What a roller coaster. 3 12 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Warhippy Posted February 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2019 Well THAT'S an interesting trade. Can anyone with more info on the Euro leagues chime in on whether or not that production is comparable to Dahlens? Also. Omg Benning did a thing let's hate it!! 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post billabong Posted February 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2019 Gotta trust benning on this one. He was right on dumping shinkaruk. Hopefully he’s right again cause I have no idea who that guys is 2 1 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninja321 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Was hoping to see Dahlen eventually play with Petey given their chemistry. However, I'm going to trust Jimbo on this one and hope it's because he doesn't think Dahlen can transition to the NHL like shinkaruk couldn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
