He definitely improvef, but obviously in his mind he belongs in the NHL. He will go game after game a complete non factor at even strength. Even on the middle of the pack comets he was an average player. Guess he was hot those games..reminded me of Bure actually, similar build and some great stickhandling..

Seinfeld Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 If Dahlen wasn't Pettersson's once teammate and friend, would anyone really care about this? People in Utica said he sucked for the most part 5v5 and sounds like he had off ice issues. Plus, I don't think a future line of Dahlen-EP-Boeser would have worked. That's three perimeter players, which isn't a knock on them, but the Canucks need to find that Burrows/Guentzel/Simmonds type player that is an excellent forechecker and can win battles along the boards, freeing up the puck for both EP and Boeser. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakrami Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Horrible, random, horrible trade. Trade away Dahlen who we've been developing nicely for some unknown kid who looks like he wont even make the AHL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Skylit Drive Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Very good chance we draft his brother this draft Hampus Karlsson https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/470040/hampus-karlsson Edited February 26, 2019 by A Skylit Drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 47 minutes ago, Darius said: I don’t know anything about the player we r getting here. the only red flag for me is.. when was the last time the sharks gave up on a prospect that ended up becoming an impact player? They seem pretty good at finding talent post first round. some of their late pick roster players can attest to this. Does anyone know of a trade where sharks gave up a prospect that turned out to be gold? Like in the past 7-8 years. Genuinely curious. Not gold, but Charlie Coyle ended up being a pretty solid player that the Sharks gave up. We don't have to have Karlsson be a superstar for this deal to work out for us, just need him to be a player. The Sharks haven't had a whole lot of time to evaluate his game at 19, so they're taking a risk on this one too. We'll know alot more about his game next season I think. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) I really Like Linus. I picked him in two fantasy pools last year. I have to admit I am surprised we traded Dahlen for him. I also Shlat myself earlier today. The first post I saw said Melkar Karlsson? I came here to rant. Thought we had traded a prospect for vet help, which would get us nowhere. I'll have to trust they were either unhappy with Dahlen? Or really enthused about this prospect!

Jester13 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Dahlen doesn't want to earn his stripes, and Benning wants players who do, as well as bigger wingers to compliment skilled centres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchene wanted out for years, Av's GM waited for the right trade and got a boat load for that team. So basically, Benning bowed to the player?

BananaMash Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Just now, Canuck Surfer said: Says? And why? There's been quotes from both Benning and JP Berry (Dahlen's agent) today talking about it. It seems as if Dahlen and his camp felt he was NHL ready, and the Canucks disagreed. It lead to tension, and a trade request. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 5 hours ago, Warhippy said: Well THAT'S an interesting trade. Can anyone with more info on the Euro leagues chime in on whether or not that production is comparable to Dahlens? Also. Omg Benning did a thing let's hate it!! He played SH games in the year leading up to his draft. Which, Rasmus Dahlin aside, is almost unheard of. Pettersson, for example, was one tier lower in the Allsvenskan. Karllsson has an NHL body, and great hands. Fared ok for a just turned 18 year old in the SHL. But tore up the Super Elit junior circuit. Like Dahlen, might need a dose of jets added to his lower body explosiveness to be effective in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Dahlen will be kicking him self soon enough. Going from a rebuilding bottom 5 team to a cup contender..... He would have seen NHL ice much sooner as a Canucks than he will as a Shark. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 A Swedish broadcaster and former nhler interviewed on 1040 also said the Canucks soured on Dahlen for going back to Sweden last year and also playing in the playoffs in Sweden instead of coming over to NA. Doesnt make sense bit that's what he said. He said Dahlen was getting cold shoulder from Utica coaching staff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
