According to cdc shecan cure cancer... As 73 eluded to , I'm sure that with proper training, his skating can improve, but not everyone is going to show 'Horvat level' improvement regardless of training or hard work though. Some guys can only ever get so fast no matter how hard/well they train. (See: Sedins - for an obvious and familiar example). So as I said, until I actually see a 'Horvat level' of improvement (which is less likely than CDC seems to think it is), I see him as more of a good, bottom 9 guy. And that's WITH a 'normal' amount of skating improvement. And there's nothing wrong with that at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not taking anything away from Kathy McIlwain because she’s great at her job. But there are a bunch of excellent skating coaches coast to coast who offer comparable training and expertise. The results themselves probably say more about Bo (and his work ethic and genetics) than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people genuinely believe Bo is the only guy to ever go get a power skating coach to help improve his skating. Nothing annoys me more than how for every single prospect that can't skate the first thing that is said is how they will be better. "Just look at Bo" "send him to Bo's skating coach" Every single dam time, Bo isn't the norm, he's an outlier who drastically improved his skating after being drafted. Not many players can make those kind of steps with a bit of work and coaching. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was drafted a year ahead of Elias and playing in a league lower, it would've been nice to see how he matches up in Sweden's top league or even the AHL. Are there any NHL players who took the same path as him? Loyalty to his team and fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadjovich has to be able to keep up, not be the quickest guy on his line. He does appear to have a ave a pretty good awareness to his game. Knows what expectations he has, were go to be effective. He could be a deadly effective winger in the NHL. Like a Holstrom style player. We could use a guy like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think he’s going to do even better on smaller ice. His game is puck pursuit, and attacking from the dots down. That’s ideal on smaller ice. Love to see him Utica for their playoffs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Lasso Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Observations: January 2018 – Dahlen continues to be the best player in Sweden's second tier – the Allsvenskan. The fiesty and dynamic forward has driven play on a line with 2018 NHL draft eligible players, Filip Hälinder and Jacob Olofsson and leads the league in points-per-game with 1.22. He has recently stated he would play three more contests with Timrä before exploring his out clause to sign with an SHL club or return to North American and join the Utica Comets. Many teams have reported interest in the 2016 second round pick, with Brynas and Farjestad BK appearing to be the front runners. Dahlen should come to the AHL next season and will likely be closer to NHL-ready then many believe. Cam Robinson 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross my fingers and hope I'm right!! I’ve been saying pretty much the same. This kid is dynamite below the dots, and has a real nose for the net. His game is best suited for the NHL. This is going to be like the Erat for Forsberg trade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take all the “ahl” players who look like they’ll be better than AHL players. EDIT: Timrå won 2-0 today and once again, Dahlén was held off the scoresheet, despite 5 SOG and another attempt put wide. He only played 12:57 TOI, which is quite a bit below his season average. Edited February 17, 2018 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
