Who's better, Dahlin or Byram?

This is a tough question. Given the small sample I say they’re tied. Dahlin has the creativity, puck control, and vision. Byram has more offensive IQ. Byram actually seems to be quarterbacking PPs even with Dahlin on the ice.

Defensively, Dahlin is more physical and composed. Byram is more tenacious.

Seriously small sample size but Bo’s aggressive play is well received .  If Dahlin had Bo’s aggression he would be approaching the generational label we were hammered with.

It's interesting how draft position influences opinions.  They were both #1 D overall. 

Dahlin over Tkachuk and Q Hughes.

Byram after Jack Hughes.  

So since Dahlin is/was #1 overall expectations are so much higher?  And Byram is behind best D in the league for several years limiting his minutes and role both in terms of need, expectations, opportunities.  

I think it's a very fair question.  Let's see what it looks like at this point next year.  Good problem to have!

Holy small sample size Batman.

Agree. 

Dahlin, not particularly close 

He’s 9th in D scoring and has tied a career high in goals, and I know the expectations for him are rightfully high, but it’s a good sign of a player’s ability when he’s putting up that sort of production and it’s basically a footnote
