Weave

Still not on the "sit him" train. Nor the "trade him" train. But his performance has dropped to the point where he is becoming a liability on the power play. At this point I'd not complain if he was dropped to the 2nd unit where he'll see the 2nd best penalty killers. Let him get his head straightened out before putting him back on the top unit.

I could see that too

Unless there is another long term injury KA is done with goalies this season.

Does he have the comfort level with risk? In my experience risk tolerance is not a learned trait. Maybe that would explain the gaffes?

Like Jello

Uh, that was the point.

We need at least a Marty Biron because there are no guarantees that one of the guys developing ever becomes another Marty Biron.

No examples, but in earlier years (80s maybe 90s) you did here of deals that were for future considerations from previous deals. So yes it used to be ised as described. But I haven’t heard of those in a long time

He definitely seems to know enough to reliably select bad ones.

I don’t know nuthin about nuthin. Thats my story and I’m sticking to it.

Promo went on a drunk stroll through Sabrespace time.

Gilbert Gottfreid.

Yeah, none of that was tongue in cheek. We've worshipped so many lottery tickets. Tired of it.

He is too ***** obnoxious for me to enjoy genuinely good stuff from him.

I'm enjoying the fact that Power is under-hyped. It is refreshing to not be overwhelmed with bombast about the next "generational player" that we've drafted. It will be refreshing to not hear over and over again about how much we don't understand his game and that he's trending elite when he's contributing to losing. And if he were 5'11" the hype train would have been rolling for months now. I think that covers all the prospect memes in one post. Feel free to add if I've missed any.

In over a decade. Thats a very good team pace. This team is not a very good team with even average goaltending.

Ouch

2 vets for sure. Maybe a 3rd in case of injuries.

I prefer to just ask them what they had for dinner.

My concern is if the team doesn’t get his D game dialed in soon, he becomes a Housley type player that can’t be trusted on the ice in close games. I suppose if Mule and Power meet expectations it won’t matter, but 1OAL is a hell of a price to pay for a 1 dimensional player.

Again, noone is underwhelmed with Dahlin’s offensive game. This does nothing to answer the concerns regarding his defensive game. For me? No. For all of his blunders, overall he’s still the best D man on the team right now.

He’ll be bridged and traded for sure.

Silent tank

Dahlin may be ahead of those players in offensive statistics, but where is he relative to them in defensive play? This is where the dissatisfaction lies.

He needs a James Patrick or Teppo Numminen.
