Come on, man.  You never miss an opportunity to take a shot at the kid.

Dahlin is +/- negative 7 and has not played a game where he has had a positive +/- stat. I said this last year but if he is not +20 at the end of the year we are probably not in the playoffs. He has the capability to go off at any time though and it certainly helps that players around him are doing well. I would expect things to go better. It would be hard to win without him playing well.

Not really.  Average age was 26.  
 

I also wonder if the D pairings had hurt Dahlin a little?  Truthfully, I think he’s been fine, as have the rest of the team of late.

I agree. That's the usual problem with Dahlin. He tries to do too much and sometimes that costs him. It's partly trying to press for offense at times and also trying to cover for a partner who is out of position or forwards that miss their assignments. Like a lot of highly skilled players he has a tendency to over estimate his ability to be in two places at the same time.
