Yeah I feel like the board consensus at the end of last season was that Dahlin was a high risk high reward player with the upside that he may soon become a stalwart in his own zone as well.
To be fair, giving a guy $30 mill without having scored a goal or playing a full season is a little nuts. Love the player, don’t hate the contract but it’s somewhat unprecedented.
Pilut is in Rochester because he’s waived eligible (somehow). Kinda surprised Lybushkin (sp?) isn’t in the top 4 D. I don’t like Joki there. He’s average at best. Bryson, uh, isn’t.
