VanGnome Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 6'1", 187 lbs. 19 years old, right handed C. Character guy, sounds like he reads the game like Petey. Maybe its a potential 1C to play with Petey moving to the wing? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 don't know enough about either player, but to give up a young prospect for a younger one, i think JB knows what is going on that made him think this is a better move. hope he can make the nux team next season.

I keep hearing heavy shot, works hard, wins battles, doesn't think the game great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most scouting reports have him as thinking the game really well in the offensive end, but needing work defensively still. He knows how to get open.

I honestly have no idea who this kid is so I'm just trying to do as much reading up as possible because I quite liked Dahlen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 6 minutes ago, BananaMash said: Oh, definitely. I would compare Karlsson's game sort of to Horvat from a few years ago when he was strong in the offensive end but struggled at times in his own zone. He has the tools to be something really good though. So we traded a Nichushkin for a Horvat. BananaMash confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Inge Hammarström who managed to get Petey here has retired. Bad man management in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny because so many people were so triggered when it was posted. Now they all get to enjoy a big plate of crow. Life is amusing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I do wish they gave a few games to dahlen in the nhl before giving up on him. I mean goldobin is just sitting in the press box anyways 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Bang Boogie Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I know next to nothing about Linus Karlsson, but it sounds like he is a decent prospect. I am just concerned how EP40 thinks that his buddy has been traded away. Hopefully its nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 There must be more to the Dahlen trade than we know. He was struggling to find his game in the AHL, and for reasons he wasn't going to get much of a shot here. They rolled back the calendar 2 years and now have this other Swedish kid doing well in the Swe-1 league. Only issue I can see is he's a C. Will he be able to find a spot here as well when the time comes? Could he eventually be used as trade bait? Sorry to see Dahlen go, but welcome Karlsson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Wtf? Just saw this now. Too many people were over hyped and too high on Dahlen even when he was in Sweden. They thought this kid would come over and make the nhl quickly. I was never one of those guys.. Dahlen is a ways away and may never be an NHLer. Time to read up on this Karlsson kid. Don't know anything about him but i trust JB and his scouting staff on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Wilson: "Hey Jim, I really like that Dahlen kid. You want to trade him for Karlsson?" Benning: "Wait one secnod. Last time, I traded Subban for Dowdy and it wasn't Drew Doughty. I'm not getting fooled this time. Which one is it?" Wilson: "Jim, how many Karlsson's do I have on this team? both are bonafide NHL players either way" Benning: "You're right Doug. Surprise me." Got'em. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shad0w4life Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) JD First full season (leading points player on his team) and THEN he had two 44 point seasons, so writing off LK already seems a bit odd, he does have a positive +/- as well in his first year where as JD broke even. Timrå IK Allsvenskan 51 15 14 29 8 0 and LK First full season Karlskrona HK Allsvenskan 48 4 13 17 59 8 Edited February 25, 2019 by shad0w4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReggieBush Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Apparently Dahlen asked for a trade. Sick bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Dahlen asked for the trade... obviously didn't see eye to eye with Utica coaching staff and management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
