Rasmus Dahlin End of Season Press Conference.

Just seen this. He was interestingly non-committal as well when asked of future contract and dodged the Jack Eichel question. Interesting “read between the lines” take on RK vs The Don.

I wonder what they were saying in Swedish? 

 

Probably all sorts of trash talking KA! LOL

I hate watching videos.  Anyway, I don’t see an issue with how he answered the RFA question.  His agent is going to handle all of that, he’s not going to give too much of a breakdown in a post season press conference.

Bye, has not showed what he was supposed to be!

[Trettioåtta]

I don't really see an issue with anything he has said. I think he actually liked the concept of this becoming his team. Broadly I think he came across as professional.

[Stoner]

At least one of you is running for Sabres Fan President or something. Talk about flip flop.

[PerreaultForever]

Nothing here to worry about.

Molehill … meet mountain

Some people are just born with a low IQ, that's just how the world works.

I don't get it, I see no issues with his responses. He's an RFA for a number of years to come, it's not like he has control of the next 3 to 4 years. This is a non issue imo.

I think the only issue it highlights is, a lack of enthusiasm for the future indicates a likely morale issue.  And losing will do that I am sure.

It is really important that this offseason, whatever it may bring, has to be focused on winning next season.  We are losing the tank generation players to constant losing.  We cannot lose another generation of players to the same issue.

Agree completely. The "kids" looked like they were hungry to compete once RK was put on the shelf. Is Granato the guy? I don't believe he's the only guy, but, he'll get due consideration I'm sure.

As for the losing itself, if we move Reinhart, Eichel and Risto, like many others I'm hoping for good, talented, young players, some futures (draft picks and developing positional talent, i.e. stay at home type D men) but most important of all, some veterans who's compete level and drive are infectious. We'll see where the off season takes us, I'm hopeful.

[JoeSchmoe]

Given all the kids seem to like Granato, I'm not sure if we can afford to bring some old schooler who's going to want to make them leave town along with the veterans.

I would be surprised if any player wanted to return. 

They have been perpetual losers for too long

Could be worse, I could be from Sweden.
