‘The Sabres are trying to put Dahlin in the best position to succeed. At the moment, it’s clear Dahlin is placing too much pressure on himself. The best way to handle a young player’s development is to be smart about usage. He’s not ready to play more than 20 minutes a game. That time will come. For now, Krueger will continue to put Dahlin in situations to help build confidence. Part of that is protecting him during close games. You’ll continue to see Rasmus Ristolainen average more than 24 minutes a game until Dahlin is ready for a more prominent role.’
