Adarsh Sant Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Quote Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the Canucks have reassigned forward Jonathan Dahlen to the Utica Comets from Timra IK of the Allsvenskan. Dahlen, 20, finished second in the Allsvenskan with 44 points (23-21-44) in 44 games. His 1.0 points per game and 0.52 goals per game led the League during the regular season. The 5-11, 176-pound forward also led all Allsvenskan players in playoff scoring with 14 points in 10 games. In 2016.17, Dahlen registered 41 points (24-17-41) with Timra and six points (5-1-6) in seven games for Sweden at the 2017 IIHF World Junior Championship. A native of Ostersund, Sweden, Dahlen was originally selected by Ottawa in the second round, 42nd overall, at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. He was acquired from Ottawa in exchange for Alex Burrows on Feb. 27, 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Still pretty light at 5'11 176 -- thought he came in last year closer to 185-190 before his mono, reportedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsvenskan and SHL are much closer than NHL and AHL. As for AHL vs Allsvenskan I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Just now, nzan said: I'll do my own research too, but does anyone have an idea of a comparison between AHL and Allsvenskan? Different ice surface and playing style but one could argue it’s around as difficult to put up points in Allsvenskan as it is in the AHL. Overall pace and physicality are likely more of an adjustment. League equivalents are close (NHLe for Allsvenskan ranges between 0.42-0.46, depending on whose numbers, and AHL IIRC is usually around 0.46-0.48). I’d say it’s fair to expect Dahlén to be a point per game AHLer if everything goes well. Again, that’s if it goes well. If he has trouble adjusting, then maybe half that, at least until he gets his bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I'm still in awe of how Benning convinced Dorian that a Burrows for Dahlen trade was worth it for both sides. We straight up fleeced the Sens in this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 This is great news for the Canucks and the Comets. I am really looking forward to seeing him play and the Comets battle for the Calder Cup trophy. The Burrows-Dahlén trade could potentially be Erat-Forsberg 2.0.

kenhodgejr Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It will be nice to have a net presence goal scorer like Dahlen to help add some offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
