He's got the spirit of a Lion, proved it over and over. OTT GM is paying attention. My early impressions are that we won't have nothing to show for Burrows, meaning he'll be an NHLer, the pedigree helps. I was always a fan of Ulf Dahlen, we saw him quite a bit in Vancouver as he was a long time Shark (edit: Ulf played not as much as I though with SJ) Here's a link to Ulf Dahlens Statistics. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=1226 Stats are similar to Vrbata, although I'm not at all saying there similar in the way they play(ed).

Look at his highlights, he isn't scoring just from the perimeter and off the rush, but a lot of his goals/plays are down right beside the goal line and in front of the net. Shows the kids fearlessness despite his size. He isn't getting manhandled either, looks like he has a strong lower body. See a little bit of Robby Fabbri in him. Not meaning this as a projection (yet anyway) but just stylistically. Also reading some reports that his skating has improved already (compared to when most of the draft bios were written). For what it's worth, the TSN 1040 guys just said the same (re: his improved skating). But I've heard the same from a couple people I actually trust (more than Donnie and the Moj) on these things.

Jiggs50 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Everyone's saying this was a robbery. Gonna miss Burr but man am I pumped for this deal. Let's go Dahlen!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMillerTime Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I think if Canucks didn't trade their 2nd they would look to draft this kid with that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancaster Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hopefully he can play in the top-tiered Swedish hockey league next season. If not, it'll be better if he's at Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's genuine reason for excitement here. Excitement? Absolutely! But to say he's "much better than Nylander" and the "heir to the Sedins" is overkill in the excitement department. Next year will be the real test for Dahlen when he joins the SweHL or the AHL. Then we will really know what we have to work with. If he can continue to put up a point-per-game pace in either of those leagues then we can start overblown projections - ie. the next Filip Forsberg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Warhippy Posted February 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2017 Stop fixating on size everyone. McDavid is 6 foot 1 190 pounds Crosby is 5 foot 11 and was drafted at 172 pounds. H Sedin is 6 foot 2 and about 190 pounds, was drafted at 169 pounds. He'll put on 15-20 pounds over the next decade of lean muscle and be a solid forward if we develop him properly 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making claims like he's better than Nylander is setting yourself up for disappointment. Just saw it. While I'm over the moon about this deal, saying he's "better than" a player that has 43 points in 60 games in the NHL is lunacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alarmingly large number of posters freak out over size. Neither Gretzky, Crosby nor McDavid have 'size' Thanks for the reminder to those who need one Warhippy.

stawns Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 2 hours ago, Chronic.Canucks.Fan said: Burrows for basically a high 2016 2nd... what a coup by Benning! Dahlen's been a point per game player at pretty much every level he's played at, with a 0.71 PPG average in the 2nd Swedish men's league over 100 games played (39-32-71), all before he turns 20 this December. AHL eligible as early as next season. Looks like a solid scoring prospect! http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=212368 technically, he's AHL eligible now, unless his CHL rights are owned by someone.

I feel people need to remember that Ironically some of the people who have brought up size between the Burrows trade thread and here are some of the same who have decried the Virtanen pick and wanted Ehlers/Nylander instead Size doesn't always matter and he'll grow in to his frame over time without question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
