Dahlen, and the aforementioned two. I am super excited about this cause we have two snipers in Virtanen and Boeser forming some possible line combos. Dahlen - Pettersson - Virtanen (Instant Chemistry with the swedes while Virtanen provides the grit. Also could benefit from having a strong playmaker in Pettersson) Boeser - Horvat - Lind/Gadjovich (Boeser - Horvat would make a strong duo with defensive responsibility and either Lind or Gadjovich scoring those greasy goals) I'm hoping the Canucks get away from players like Goldobin, who may fill a good temporary role, but just not sure if they can perform in the playoffs. See who gels with dahlen-pettersson-Virtanen/Gadjovich and the odd man out goes to the third line as a banger that can chip in with Lind I think Goldobin would work well with Boeser and Horvat. The later 2 are both responsible. Pretty much possible 1a and 1b lines. I think either line could score in bunches against oppositions second pairings. Looks like we just need that top-flight #1 ofd, which we should be able to address in next years draft, or potentially in trade but unlikely. Dahlen-Pettersson-Virtanen Goldobin-Horvat-Boeser Lind- Granlund-Gadjovich Baerstchi-Guadette-Lockwood Palmu Juolevi-2018 Elder-Stecher Hutton-Gudbranson Brisebois Demko markstrom dipietro A lot of ifs and projections, but I like the looks.

RetroCanuck Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Id love to trade Sutter or put him on the wing next year so that Granlund can have an opportunity as a 3C. A Dahlen-Granlund-Goldobin line would be fun to see. In a couple years when the Sedins are gone along with most other vets Id like to see Dahlen-Petterson-Boeser Goldy-Horvat-Granlund Virtanen-Gaudette-Lind/Eriksson Labate-Chaput-Gadjovich Juolevi-Stetcher Hutton-Gudbranson Pedan-2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything he will end up being one of those guys who goes to the dirty areas to get goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The big question for the Canucks will be where Dahlen will fit best next season. Do they want him playing ahead of Pettersson and rush him into the NHL faster, or take his time and get him in around the same time as Elias? One option is to send him to Utica to be a top-6 scorer, get used to the smaller ice rink and physicality, then have him in the NHL the following season (2020). He'll be away from Pettersson pretty much every step of the way though which defeats the purpose of drafting and trading for two team-mates with good chemistry because that's 2 years of prime development apart. Another option is to send him back to the top SHL next year with Pettersson on the same line, then the following season get them both into the AHL and let them be called up to the main squad whenever a spot opens up for a respective winger or center. As good as playing in the AHL next year for Dahlen would be, I think the right move would be to send him back with Pettersson to the SHL, then AHL the next year and then NHL the following year. It means Dahlen will be about 21 and Pettersson about 20 when he hits the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also could use this time to get bigger as well since they both are light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, Benning want they play together next season in Sweden and 2018/19 in the AHL together, if they aren't ready for the big League. Maybe both get bigger through next season and could be ready for 2018/19, if not let them play in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahlen and Petersson will both be on Vaxjo this upcoming season which is the highest tier in Sweden versus the second tier they played last year. The competition jump will be enough to test them, on a really good team like Vaxjo I expect very solid offensive numbers once again this coming season from both our prospects. Likely not PPG numbers, but still respectable for top tier Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldoescobar Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Can definitely see Dahlen as a solid prospect for us in the future but I think it will be after a couple more years in Sweden then a few years in the AHL developing his NA game.

I'd imagine players like that are going to need top 6 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo Kramer Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I think it's pretty cool when you have 2 prospects that are great friends and linemates, especially when they are highly skilled. Doesn't always translate to the big leagues but it definitely doesn't hurt. Nice to see him recognize it's going to take time and hard work, and that they need to get stronger.

Derp... Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Looking back at Dahlens draft year highlights he took a big step forward this year. His speed and power to get by guys or to rebounds improved a lot. Hoping Pettersson can also take his game to the next level quickly too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what little I know of the SHL, anything close to what most would deem "respectable" in the SHL from a couple of young kids, one of whom will be 18 years old, would be absolutely spectacular.

I'm sure it would be better for his development and we desperately need some skill down there, not to mention another player who is actually worth tracking. I'm getting bored of tracking the Grenier's, Zalewski's and Darren Archibald"s of the world. Virtanen, Brisebois, Palmu, Dahlen please. And Boeser, Labate, Molino, MacEwen as well please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
