Dahlin is taking a leave of absence to return to Sweden

[PASabreFan]

A girl can dream.

We haven't won with him. We can continue losing without him.

It really doesn't matter. I don't get wanting to clean house but bring back your core.

TT said after the Canes loss that if they play that way every night, the points will come. If Dahlin never returns and Tage is two hours away from leaving hockey for the priesthood, I don't care. Why should I?

Let's get on with the next chapter already. I've read this page seven times and it still makes no sense.

Here are the facts:

 

On Monday, Dahlin unexpectedly showed up at Frölunda's training, writes journalist Henrik Leman on X. Leman also writes that Dahlin's plan is to return to Buffalo.

"Absolutely. My career continues."

Google translate huh? I think we all know who's behind that.

Sure.  Head to Comet Ping Pong. (And It's the Illuminati and the Rothschilds.)

This deserves some kind of reaction.

Some classic stuff here.

Question here.  Since this is a very serious rehab period for her, could Ras ask for a “pause” in his contract and play in Sweden this year and next?  Contract years would resume when he comes back?

This year and next sound like a problem to me.    He might be able to get out of his contract with the Sabres holding his NHL rights if he ever wanted to come back?   

Then there is injury and liability to consider.

No

I think we're just going to have to deal with Dahlin taking a couple of weeks off two or three times per season.

I might take it a step further and suggest that if his fiancee and future wife must stay in Sweden to be nearer to her medical team and precluded from joining Dahlin in the US as a result, then Dahlin may choose to simply stay there, too. Tough situation for everyone involved.

I'd consider moving the team to Stockholm if it meant getting rid of Pegula.

My guess is Dahlin will be back and forth this year and possibly over the summer they'll return to the U.S. and finish her Year 1 Plus here. You are recommended not to travel until 1 year after the surgery so I'd imagine that's what they'll wait for. Then as long as she recovered well they'd be back in Buffalo

And walk away from $13MM/yr? Top salaries in the SHL are just shy of a million. I know Sweden has public health care but Rasmus can afford the best care for Carolina because of his current salary.

There are a lot of things more important than money.

That said, I still think he'll "commute" periodically.

Too bad work-from-home doesn't work in hockey!

Maybe money doesn't matter to him, at all or with x million in the bank.

I don’t know what his values and priorities are. All I know is that the professed love of his life is thousands of miles away and recently underwent an emergency heart transplant in France and he felt compelled to be with her. It may be easy for him to walk away from the money, who knows? We are in no position to project our value system onto him and his fiancee. 

Sweden’s socialized health care has nothing to do with it given where the surgery was performed and where her medical team resides. But Sweden is a heck of a lot closer to France than Buffalo is, that’s for sure.
