Popular Post falcon45ca Posted August 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) ** BREAKING NEWS ** Jonathan Dahlen, future HHOF player as well as Pulitzer, Oscar nominee & Noble Prize winner, has decided to retire from the sport of hockey. When asked to comment on the decision that has shocked the hockey world to its core, Dahlen said "I'm just too good...it's not fun anymore playing against a bunch of pylons. I'm moving on to bigger & better things." Speaking with Dahlen's agent on the matter, he had his to say about his client's earth-shattering news: "Jon-boy has left hockey for good. He's tired of turning his opponents into whining, sobbing messes that just leak tears all over the ice. It's embarrassing." Early reports indicate that Dahlen, or "Jon-boy" to his friends, has reached out to the Sacramento Buttercups, a co-ed Tee-ball team out of California, for a PTO. "I'm just really excited to finally play with athletes that are as mature as I am...it's going to be a big change for sure."

First time I read those here. What about saying those words a few times to people caring for Green and Benning also. Or is it just me that are worthy such words? There are a lot of double standards on this forum. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babalu Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Never liked this trade. Had chemistry with Petey. Jimbo shouldn't just trade every whining player. See Puljujarvi. Here's hoping LIinus Karlsson pans out! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it doesn't look like we are winning this trade so far, so people are whining. This forum always has someone complaining about something. It's hilarious.

Ghostsof1915 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Doesn't matter. Even IF we kept him. We probably would have lost him on waivers anyways. Move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no! I refuse to move on! Dahlen would look really good on Petey's left side right now... Instead, we are constantly shifting Miller and Hoglander for that spot.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Good start for Dahlén. Leads all NHL rookies in goals and plus-minus, second (tied) in points, and fourth (tied) in shots on goal. Also really solid (albeit early) 5v5 underlying numbers, among the league’s top rookies in team relative rates for most differential events stats (Corsi, Fenwick, etc). And leads all rookies in rush attempts (and only one off the league lead). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't make the SJ team, so returned to Sweden and worked on his game for a couple of years. He was never going to be a Canuck. The real test for JD will be his ability to continue scoring, once the other teams have a read on him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 The only thing about this that is concerning to me is how comfortable JB is about being willing to give up on young players for next to nothing or nothing in return. Dahlen, Tryamkin, McCann, Forsling, Gaudette, Gadjovich, Juolevi, etc. That’s been the problem. Giving up on them is fine but do it while you can get something of value back.

flickyoursedin Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I was a fan of him in the draft and when we traded for him I was stoked. Sad we traded him away but we had to because he had no patience. Being in Timra with Pettersson and Petterssons early success lead him into feeling he deserved something he didn’t. When he didn’t get a roster spot he wanted out and Benning needed to trade him. Still wish this never happened though because I still am a fan of this kid and believe he has the abilities to be a top 6 winger in the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was super excited about the trade as well, and what he could have potentially done with Vancouver. The sense of entitlement he had was a maturity issue. Maybe after a few more years in the SHL has helped him, but I think Player Name (the guy we got from the trade) could potentially be a decent player. He's probably not top 6 material (yet), and his upside might not be that high as Dahlen. That being said, we need stable players who can play up and down the lineup.

But when we drafted him, he was advertised as the go to guy for Petey with really good chemistry... Could've let him play a few NHL games first before sending him down... Well, I guess our management tends to have short leash on certain players like Dahlen and Juolevi.... But my point is, we can't operate like contenders who already got a deep deep roster!

Dahlen didn't even attend the Sharks training camp the year he got traded. He knew he was not NHL ready and wanted to work on his game back home. It's only this year that he came over. Doesn't sound like someone that was impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
