very good post...I guess what I mean by 'soft' though is more mental. Superstars--which Dahlin isnt-dominate the competition.That takes mental toughness that would border on the obsessive (Bobby Clark) or the highly gifted(Perrault) or both (Gretz). With Dahlin I see a guy who is def improving..And has 9 goals? 10 goals?-The season is almost over. Allstar ,not superstar. Not yet,and I dont think its a forgone conclusion.
So I should have been more specific re Soft.
