Good to hear he is eager to get set on the right foot heading into the fall - maybe Stecher can show him his summer workout routine.

Boudrias Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I was surprised when Dahlen said he had only been to NA 3X in his life. I assumed he had lived here while his Dad played in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Love hearing stuff like this! Shows how committed Dahlen is to getting himself as ready as he can be for next season! I was a fan of him leading up to last years draft and really think he's gonna surprise a lot of fans in training camp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 He probably should spend an entire year in Utica playing North-American hockey against men first, but I've got a feeling he's going to burst into training camp and steal a roster spot. This kid's skill level is off the charts and probably higher than people think. His defence and physicality might be an issue in the early goings which is why the AHL would be ideal, but I think he's going to make it a really tough decision for the coaches. He, Goldobin and Boeser are going to have to really fight for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dahlen & Goldobin can both be top 6 wingers for this team going forward, then this years TDL is going to go down as one of the best ever for this team. It's Exciting to finally see some youth take shape. Horvat, Boeser, Stecher, Goldobin, hopefully Dahlen with Virtanen and Juolevi at some point + whoever we draft this year ( Please be Patrick / Hischier ) , the core of this team could really start to solidify itself as early as the 18-19 season. If even one or two of the players like, Gaudette, Lockwood, Briesbois, Etc. can make the team over the next 2-3 years I think people will start to forget about year 1 and 2 of Bennings tenure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree they are 2-3 years away from being much better as long as the stay on track. A top two pick this year and a top 5 pick next year would really help.

Also if you look at the contract's Benning has signed ( Sutter / Eriksson ) by the time the team is ready to make some noise in the playoffs their Modified NTC's kick in allowing Benning the flexibility to move them if need be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldoescobar Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Another year playing in Sweden followed by 2-3 developing and learning the NA game in the AHL and he could be a solid piece down the road. If we can develop him properly and he does not bail back to Europe once he is here. I do like the attitude he is displaying though.

Because of the development time line I see a blurring of the top 9. Not so worried if Dahlen, Goldobin, Boeser, Virtanen, Top 2 pick, play 3rd line TOI. Also not upset if any of those players spend time in Utica. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it's going to happen but I'd love to see something like: Canucks: 2A- Baer, Horvat, Eriksson 2B- Sedin, Sedin, Granlund 3A- Rodin/Boucher, UFA, Boeser (sheltered ozone line) 3B- Prospect/UFA, Sutter Dorsett (matchup dzone line) Utica: Dahlen, Hischier?, Goldobin Virtanen, Zhukenov, Valk Call up top guys in Utica with injuries and after the TDL when we move UFA's and pumped and dumped Rodin/Boucher.

Quote For now, it seems unlikely because both the Canucks and Dahlen’s camp are prepared for him to get some seasoning in Utica this fall if he doesn’t make the NHL team, to help in his transition to North American-sized rinks. I don't post 'facts'. Edited April 28, 2017 by J.R. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, Benning has said his vision is to have "four fast scoring lines", and Green has said he prefers to roll four lines. There will certainly be a talent distinction in the 1-2, but there won't be a specific shutdown line composed of only defensive forwards or a bruiser line of grinders.
