dudacek Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 This has got no discussion whatsoever. No rumours of where talks are. No angst. Nothing. Check in time arrives tomorrow. Dahlin needs to be here.
Doohicksie Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 He's gonna be traded. Told KA he doesn't want to be here. Just a thought, haven't seen a report anywhere.
PerreaultForever Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 I doubt he has said that at this stage of his career but it's very likely his agent has advised him to ask for the moon and stars seeing an opportunity to squeeze the team and they can fall back onto this sort of narrative if things go badly. imo Sabres will either have to overpay him badly (on hope and faith for the future) or it will be the next domino to fall.

thewookie1 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 My guess is he's waiting on Hughes; hence the hold up. Likely Hughes is waiting on Dahlin and thus we have a stalemate where both sides are waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Brawndo Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 From Friedman’s 32 Thoughts 7. The rumours on Dahlin have been all over the map. Several months ago, I heard things started very well. Then I heard Buffalo wanted short term not because of anything Dahlin did (or didn’t do), but because of overall frustration and desire not to commit long. Now the defence market has exploded. It’s possible Dahlin, Hughes and their representatives are watching to see who goes first.
dudacek Posted September 22, 2021 Author Report Posted September 22, 2021 Is Dahlin part of Adams plan long-term? Is Buffalo part of Dahlin's plan long-term?

French Collection Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 Hughes’ scenario is a bit different in that the Canucks are in a cap constrained environment.

Is Buffalo part of Dahlin's plan long-term? Expand Maybe - Power is his guy and we know that KA is cleaning house. Maybe - Dahlin likely thinks that this could be his team given the clean out, but does he and his agents think that there is any future here given the current inept management? We have seen both the positives and negatives of bridge deals. We saved cap and we certainly received good value for the money on Reinhart and Ullmark. However now 2 key players are gone because we failed to commit to them long term when we had the chance. We have also seen the problem with long and medium extension. The Jack fiasco, KO, Skinner and even Risto who didn’t play to his $5.4 mill cap hit. I’d offer 6 for 6 and go from there. Edited September 22, 2021 by GASabresIUFAN

Srw1525 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 Now that he’s signed and vaccinated. My guess is probably less than a week?
Digger Posted September 22, 2021 Report Posted September 22, 2021 Is he in Buffalo now or still in Sweden and still coming over?

But maybe that's because I've been a Sabres fan too long and used to getting kicked in the head. 1
