[The Sabre Report] Rasmus Dahlin since returning to the Sabres on Nov. 15th (via Evolving Hockey):
12 comments
• 9 games
• 8 assists (1ST on BUF)
• 24:45 TOI/GP (1ST on BUF)
• 61.44 xGF%
• 55.72 CF%
The Sabres are 1ST in the NHL in xGF% since Dahlin returned to the lineup.
Man on a mission
Remember when people said he was a bust?
He’s good at hockey. Imagine him and Hughes on the same team 🤤
Completely different team when he’s in the lineup.
I’m gonna be at the lowest of lows if we get eliminated, please be the miracle season
The only way I translate this… please get this thing right so we don’t have to trade him away in his prime and watch him go win somewhere else. That doesn’t have to include Kevyn Adams either.
He’s a top 5 defenseman in the NHL, has been since 2022
Only reason people haven’t noticed is that he’s playing for Buffalo
Yeah, he’s really good at hockey.
Sword team good?
I don’t want to take anything away from Dahlin, but his partners have also been playing good hockey and back checking has been pretty strong, too.
It helps him play even better if he doesn’t have to do it all
Dahlin, in terms of impact, is arguably the best defenseman in hockey. Has been for a long time.
The only reason he’s not on the shortlist for best player in the NHL is because he’s been the only constant on the worst-managed team in pro sports, in their worst-managed era, for his entire career.
