He was at the Habs development camp two years in a row and it was absolutely remarkable how well he skated.

...Everything else, on the other hand...

You know the expression, he handles the puck like a grenade? He made those people look like they were Alex Kovalev stick handling through cones in comparison.

I'm really disappointed in Dahlin so far. Watching him at the WJC, he was a really breathtaking player, something never seen before I thought. Such grace, weird to say about a hockey player but I really hope he figures it out at this level he'll be something to watch.
 
He's been pretty damn good so far. The entire team stunk this year, but he's been pretty impressive at 18-20 years old.

I mean Hedman wasn't HEDMAN for like his first 4 years.
 
If you're disappointed in Dahlin, it's simply because you bought in to the He's a generational d-man! bullshit propagandized by people who don't watch prospects.

If you look at all the d-men who could be considered "generational" since Denis Potvin, not a single one was taken first overall. Bourque, Lidstrom, Karlsson, none were even in consideration for being taken #1 overall. Re-do those drafts today and it would be absolutely laughable to take anyone except those 3 first overall.

Dahlin was probably the best player in his draft, but the gap between him & Hughes wasn't huge. I think Dahlin could possibly win a Norris by the end of his career.

It's almost impossible to know if a d-man is generational at 17/18 years old unless he's just so damn good. Dahlin was really good, but there were flaws in his game and he didn't have good playoffs in the SEL. Not a single one of the talking heads brought that up. They sold him as the next big thing.

You can tell who the next great forward is going to be when they're 15 years old, it's a lot easier. How good is he at generating offense?
