Popular Post WHL rocks Posted February 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) See ya Dahlen. He wanted to play on NHL or a trade. Now he can be stuck in SJS system. He would have definitely made Canucks faster than he will SJS. Edited February 25, 2019 by WHL rocks 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I think we can give the benefit of the doubt on this one. Our Swedish Amateir scouting has been our best area for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seannnp Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 24 minutes ago, EP Phone Home said: This is such a sad day... why? Why not even let him play with EP at least to see what you have. Again I’ll say it once more. We have to take a real HARD LOOK at how we develop our prospects in Utica because this stinks of mismanagement and JD got culled Its likely they didn't give him a chance to play alongside EP on the big club at the NHL stage because he wasn't deserving of it and/or ready for it. JB may not be the best at pro-scouting but hes been pretty good with the amateur scouting: Boeser, Pettersson, Madden, Gaudette, DiPietro, Palmu, Rathbone, Woo. All these are have been great picks and some in the later rounds. Its a wait and see but I would definitely give him Karlsson a chance before we deem this trade a success or a failure. I was a huge fan of Dahlen but if the team thinks he will not transition well or may not make the big leagues in our development system then its a good idea to move on. Maybe this is a long play, for one Karlsson to convince another Karlsson to come over to the canucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampage Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Whattttttttttttt......first thought is I don't like this trade at all. I wanted to see Dahlen and Pettersson together on a line. Like others have said though, it's probably best to trust Benning on this he knows more than any of us do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nergish Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) I can't even think of one single justification for this move. If they think he's too small, he can hit the gym and get stronger. If he's not fast enough, he can improve his skating. I personally love his skating. That hip-swivel of his is fantastic. But you can't teach the kind of heart that kid showed in Timra. Literally 2 years ago he outperformed Pettersson at the same level. I know I'm weirdly attached a prospect that likely won't amount to much, but I hate this trade. I'll watch some Karlsson highlights, but I just don't get giving up on Dahlen this early. **EDIT** ah, he asked for a trade. Move along then bub...

I'm just gonna have to trust Jimbo with this one since he's proven me wrong countless times before. Dahlen was looking pretty decent in Utica and has obvious chemistry with Petey. A bit worried how EP will take this news. Karlsson looks like a decent player in the SHL (actually not, see EDIT2 below) this year, 17 points in 48 games in his draft+1 year. EDIT: The more I think about it, the more this could be a good deal for us. Dahlen played in Sweden's 2nd league for two years after being drafted whereas Karlsson is already in the SHL immediately after being drafted, which shows a faster progression. I've already changed my mind, I like this deal now. EDIT2: It looks like he's not in the SHL. I might have misinterpreted it. Then I'm kind of back to meh. What a roller coaster. What in the eff did I just read??? Lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JeremyCuddles Posted February 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) For all those praising Sekeres for calling the Dahlen trade, he said management was losing interest in Dahlen when in actuality it was Dahlen losing interest in us. I refuse to give that clown any props, will look for any technicality to take some wind out of his sails.

Its lateral. Its not worth complaining over. We'll have to wait and see. But Dahlen wasn't exactly ripping it up in Utica either. Gradin has been an great scout for us, so if he's thinking this is a good move thats good enough for me for now. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sick bro Just because he asks for a trade doesn't mean you have to trade him. Thought he deserved a look with EP considering our lack of scoring. Not happy with this trade.
