Was away most of the weekend so I just caught up on a lot of his post draft interviews. The kid seems so well grounded and genuinely very excited to be playing in Buffalo. Love this guy!

honest question about dahlin. Is he projected to be as good or better than Eichel?  i know they dont play the same positions, but as far as quality in their respective position, who do you think is the better talent?

When Eichel was drafted he was compared to McDavid, who was compared to Gretzky. Which defenseman would Dahlin be compared to as far as potential...maybe Brian Leech of NY, someone else?

In short, yes, better than Eichel.  He is comparable to McDavid of defensemen- that generational talent that comes along once every 20-30 years.  He's been compared to Denis Potvin, to Nick Lidstrom.

Does he not? Well either way everyone else calls him Dah-Leen. 

 

In one of the other videos he introduces himself as Rasmus DAH-lin.  I can't find it now, but it's how *he* said his name.

The Swedish announcers call him DahLEEN. The coaches do. He does. He is Dah-Leen.

Good to see.

 

 

I forgot to mention my favorite part of that video. He's talking about the following goal. 

 

 

 

"That goal, I got black out, so I don't remember everything. I don't know what I did, it went good."

 

 

I love it.

I was vacationing and missed the draft. I teared up watching the draft day video, this kid is the real deal. Proud to have him as a Sabre.
