The thing is . [PLayers in the Nhl will key on him always cutting to the middle . but the talent is fuckin unreal. video game shit. the shit he is doing against russia is amazing
The Squeaky Roaster I mean Joe Veleno is a great player and can approach them but I don't think he'll beat them personally it seems like a two horse race
Some say he's better than Karlsson; Insisting that He played better than Karlsson when Karlsson was his age, I would love to see Karlsson and Dahlin play together in Olympic- LOL oh yeah
first pick in #1. Swedens next superstar two-way defenseman. A Erik Karlsson way of attacking the blueline with speed and dekes. He is without a doubt going to play in the NHL in a couple of years and become as big as Karlsson.
Holy shit. Doing this against fulltime highsalaried professionals as a 16year old is so amazing i cant describe it with words.. I watched Erik Karlsson in the same stage, and i can easily say Dahlin is better.. the talent on this kid is unbelievable, but he is still young and things can change especially during those years. But i truly believe he can be one of the best swedish players when he is 22+. Worth the #1 pick right now? Hell yes.
He reminds me so much of how Jonathan Drouin played in junior (Halifax QMJHL). Drouin toyed with players as a forward, but its more impressive when a dman can do it.
I honest hope this will happen. Swedish players usually works well with the Canucks, I hope we can get the lottery pick next year. Please for once, let us win the lottery.
I hope he's going to be a habs because he has shea weber to look up to even though he doesn't need him but both of them on the powerplay would be scary for every team especially with Weber's shot.
I saw him this juniors and quickly caught up on youtube. The kid is absolutely sensational, some shifts he is the best player on the ice. He never gets dirty goals either, not that he has scored that much at 16 years of age in the Swedish elite league, but his goals and points are quite gorgeous and he seems to be the organizing force behind all this flashy attack when he is on the ice. He masterminds it. His defense is generally considered way above average for his age but he still blunders badly defensively. He is not perfect, far from it. He does seem to learn quickly though and the upper limit is currently unknown. The potential here is staggering. But as always .. defenders are tricky .. they usually mature after 25 and peak at 28 or so. And one should always pick a forward, particularly centers, before any other position. Unless it is just fucking obvious who is best and if it is Rasmus Dahlin I would not be surprised at all. Still a year away though. :) Also, it would be an interesting change for once to have a defender as first pick and see the Paul Coffey/Erik Karlsson style get a nod. If it works out perhaps we will be talking about the Rasmus Dahlin style of defense in ten years. Cheers :)
If NHL were to go to the Olympics Team Sweden might have a very good roster especially in defense...In they have many talents.. Hedman Karlsson Ekman Larssom Dahlin Liljedren Boqvist Branstrom Backstrom Lundqvist Sedins Forsberg Ekholm Stralman Hornqvist Zetterberg
Although that might be tempting, they would have to figure out the responsibilities between them as a regular pairing. In PP I could definitely see it happening but not as a regular pair. I'd separate them into two separate D-lines.
@@AbesamisM I do. Sorry if I was vague but this was more from a stylistic perspective. you could probably make the case for makar with how he is through the neutral zone too. However, I dont think makar is of Orr's ilk as much as dahlin has shown to be. Especially in settled play, there are very few guys that can invert offenses and attack the net on a vertical plane in the nhl. Dahlin is one of the few. Of late, Shea Theodore has also looked awesome in this respect.
Which team would you personally like him to end up in and why? I would like to see him end up in a midrange team rather than a bottom-feeder or a stratospheric top contender. More to work with there. What do you think?
LahaveNS sabres aren’t a lost cause team. Idk if you’re too young to know this but sabres were good for a long time. They’re just in a bit of a rut right now.
You strike me as a Capital-Pens fan, because you obviously don't know what a drop-off looks like. Sabres have been good for the longest, and one day your team will fall off too. Rome wasn't built in a day, kiddo.
lucas Rozmus lmao ur a moron, bennings a great GM. He's only been with the Canucks for like 3 years. The situation he was handed when he was hired was horrifying. Previous management was pathetic. Benning drafts well, trades well, signs well. Anyone can argue otherwise but I follow the Canucks deeply and I'm pretty confident in my opinion. The ones who argue it usually reveal the fact that they don't know wtf they're talking about in the same sentence as their argument.
OMG...his hands! Look at his hands. I rarely see forwards with these kind of hands. Now a defender!!!...who also can play shutdown defense!!! This is a given no 1 for 2018 draft. This is a guy you build a team around! He is 17 and has 5 points (2+3) in 10 games playing against MEN in the SHL. This guy might be "the real deal". This guy is NO 1 pick for sure (if he avoid injures)...yeah you can argue that some Canadien scores 60 goals in QMJHL...but QMJHL and SHL isn´t really a good comparision. Like comapring NHL to some middle eastern hockey league ;-)
Well, that's the whole point; he's 16 and was able to play in the men's league. Nicklas Bäckström, Erik Karlsson and Victor Hedman at 17 combined for 14 points in 103 games in the same league.
Looks like Buffalo and Arizona are amongst the most likely to land this kid. If the Sabres win the lottery and still can't make it work with Dahlin and Eichel, then they should just give up and throw in the towel.
Oh Hockey Gods hear our prayers, please let this stud come to Montreal. We offer up 40000 tons of poutine, 200000 liters of Molson beer, and a decades worth of maple syrup.
I GOT HIMN IN MY POOL RIGHT NOW! with laine, OSKAR LINDBLOOOOOOOOOOOOM, DRAISTATLLLLLLLL, TARASENNNNNNNNNKOOOOOOO and lias andersson! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE+ FINDLAND+GERMANY+RUSSIA CONNECTIONS! My team is international!
I am way too excited to see this guy in the show. So much ability. So much vision.
shut the fuck up barber lol
The thing is . [PLayers in the Nhl will key on him always cutting to the middle . but the talent is fuckin unreal. video game shit. the shit he is doing against russia is amazing
Jack smith, Yeah but the thing is, he can then pass the puck to an open teammate. As a Swede it will be so fun to see him in the NHL
Do you think he can match the stardom of McDavid and Matthews? Also I’m a big fan!
Alex Will
Yes.
2018 #1 overall. No contest.
987turbo1 Svechnikov, and that's the only person right now who can beat him
*Joe Veleno
Alex Mishenko don't forget Joe Veleno
The Squeaky Roaster lmao Veleno is ass, compared to Dahlin and Svechnikov
The Squeaky Roaster I mean Joe Veleno is a great player and can approach them but I don't think he'll beat them personally it seems like a two horse race
3 years later and i still watch those highlights. Man he is so good !
the scary thing about Dahlin is he can play defense as well as he can offense
Some say he's better than Karlsson; Insisting that He played better than Karlsson when Karlsson was his age,
I would love to see Karlsson and Dahlin play together in Olympic- LOL oh yeah
Being Canadian, I wouldn't :P
Next bobby orr
first pick in #1. Swedens next superstar two-way defenseman. A Erik Karlsson way of attacking the blueline with speed and dekes. He is without a doubt going to play in the NHL in a couple of years and become as big as Karlsson.
Welcome to the Blue and Gold, Dahlin.
Holy shit. Doing this against fulltime highsalaried professionals as a 16year old is so amazing i cant describe it with words.. I watched Erik Karlsson in the same stage, and i can easily say Dahlin is better.. the talent on this kid is unbelievable, but he is still young and things can change especially during those years. But i truly believe he can be one of the best swedish players when he is 22+.
Worth the #1 pick right now? Hell yes.
urgi better than Karlsson? Take it easy bud Karlsson is the best dman in the world by a pretty wide margin but this kid definitely has a high ceiling
The Abstract Channel all the clips in this video except one is against adults
As a Frölunda fan I totally agree. Karlsson was good but not this good at this young age.
Karlsson was way smaller at the same age. It's impossible to say what the skill ceiling is for Dahlin right now. Will go 1st overall for sure, though.
He is 17
Vad heter låten
Rasmus Dahlin picked #1 overall by the Vegas Golden Knights
This video is still relevant today. Awesome skills! 🏒
WELCOME TO MONTREAL RASMUS!!!
Welcome To Ottawa Dahlin! EK + Dahlin Gonna be insane!
yea thats never gonna happen
Buffalo got dahlin and karlsson got traded lmao
He reminds me so much of how Jonathan Drouin played in junior (Halifax QMJHL). Drouin toyed with players as a forward, but its more impressive when a dman can do it.
Ok redwings we need this guy
big mike yes
The Edmonton Oilers are pleased to select with their first pick from Frölunda HC of the Swedish Hockey League RASMUS DAHLIN...
more like... Evan Bouchard
"And with the 1st overall pick, the Vancouver Canucks select..."
Our team is bloody cursed, man. We'll never win a lottery. :(
I honest hope this will happen. Swedish players usually works well with the Canucks, I hope we can get the lottery pick next year. Please for once, let us win the lottery.
Literally anywhere but Vancouver, please...
That said, him and Juolevi would make a pretty dirty pairing..
Oh please oh please oh please.
Please please please. Hockey Gods please please. To get first overall is already hard enough for us.
This guy with Eichel and Nylander are going to be unstoppable!
Patrik 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
lol
I hope he's going to be a habs because he has shea weber to look up to even though he doesn't need him but both of them on the powerplay would be scary for every team especially with Weber's shot.

Cheers :)
Swedens defense is going to be fun to watch at world juniors next year. Dahlin, Branstrom, Liljegren, Westerlund, Moverare, Hogberg, Boqvist.
Dahlin is going to fall in love with the state of Buffalo and hopefully end up there!
If NHL were to go to the Olympics Team Sweden might have a very good roster especially in defense...In they have many talents.. Hedman Karlsson Ekman Larssom Dahlin Liljedren Boqvist Branstrom Backstrom Lundqvist Sedins Forsberg Ekholm Stralman Hornqvist Zetterberg
that kid is just amazing... kind of equal to Mcdavid in the D class... sensational ! kid got great future !
What's the name of the song??
Vad heter låten?
This kid has a lot of talent and will make a big impact in the NHL (once he makes it)
WELCOME TO MONTREAL BUDDY
2:50 that kid is just INSANE !
Cant wait for buffalo to get this guy. Bringing up him and mittelstadt in the same year will be amazing
Can't wait to see him with montreal
Welcome to Buffalo baby
I can’t believe we won the lottery and this unreal specimen sits at the top. Soooooooo stoked to see this young phenom wear the Blue and Gold.
And for the 2018 first overall pick .. The Vancouver Canuck are proud to select
Canucks seems to be doing quite well and probably won't get him!
These plays remind me of Makarov, Kovalev, Lemieux... I'm super impress by this kid wow
The Montréal Canadiens are proud to select ...
Probably not him because Bergevin is an idiot
Although I want him to go to the Habs
I'll personally welcome Rasmus to Chicago with the way their season is going.
Welcome to montreal
Sabres winning the cup in a few years. Calling it.
music?
Montreal all in for Dahlin
Beast!
A perfectly complete Defenseman. Wow.
What a beast.
Montréal canadiens : hello there
Oh how I crave to see this kid paired with Liljegren on the leafs blue line.
You think the Leafs are picking 1st?
He just said he wants to see it... he never said he thought it would happen
cooper cody I'm pretty sure Liljegren is Swedish so in the Olympics or World Cup
Although that might be tempting, they would have to figure out the responsibilities between them as a regular pairing. In PP I could definitely see it happening but not as a regular pair.
I'd separate them into two separate D-lines.
3:05 that save ... wow
karlsson? this guy is the closest thing to bobby orr I have ever seen. very special.
Still think that?
@@AbesamisM I do. Sorry if I was vague but this was more from a stylistic perspective. you could probably make the case for makar with how he is through the neutral zone too.

This is what means "too good"
Which team would you personally like him to end up in and why?
I would like to see him end up in a midrange team rather than a bottom-feeder or a stratospheric top contender. More to work with there.
What do you think?
Detroit Red Wings!
Detroit please tank and get that first round draft pick. This guy is the datsyuk replacement we have been needing.
The way the Wild are playing why not Brodin and Dahlin? :)
I just want the Senators to draft him so I can see a Karlsson, Dahlin pairing.
Imagine if the Sens got him?
Karlsson
Chabot
Dahlin
Deadline blue line offense
And he is a defenceman
Please come to vancouver
Has a Habs fan, I am starting to scout our next pick because we freaking suck!!!
A friend wonders whats the name of this song is? Somewone knows?
NEW NICKLAS LIDSTRÖM ITS WILL BE LEGEND!
Future Ranger
Welcome To Montréal Rasmus.
TheRock UA-camr Québécois I’m holding out for this
Jess Vermont I Hope not. 😂
Jess Vermont Im a Habs fan and Ill say that Ryan Suter for Rasmus Dahlin is NOT a good deal....i suggest MB trades him for Zdeno Chara for LEADERSHIP
Felix Sopowera lol
You mean Arizona
#1 no question. until TSN try to convince us that the #2 guy should go NO.1
Welcome to Buffalo!!!
Pray he doesn't go to ARI or BUF. Tired of seeing such talented guys going to lost causes teams. Both those teams need to make some huge moves.
LahaveNS sabres aren’t a lost cause team. Idk if you’re too young to know this but sabres were good for a long time. They’re just in a bit of a rut right now.
You strike me as a Capital-Pens fan, because you obviously don't know what a drop-off looks like.
Sabres have been good for the longest, and one day your team will fall off too. Rome wasn't built in a day, kiddo.
pourquoi mettre de la music aussi poche tabarnac
We want you in Buffalo!!
BuffaloJG108 now you have him I'm pretty sure
Sabres are All in for Dahlin
if mtl keep playing like this, he will be with the habs 100%
Han är ju bäst
Welcome to the Buffalo Sabres with Housley as the coach he will not put to much on this kids plate
Praying the Canucks win the lottery and draft this kid, pair him with Juolevi and you have a match made in heaven
Marcus Hicks 5th...
TX9MDY ohh be quiet
Tommy Tran he's not wrong 😂 with the Canucks luck the fucking oilers win the lottery
Juolevi-Dahlin
Juolevi?
Bap Gia canucks dman
Juolevi-Hughes
Future Canuck, Bless up.
Andrew Clarke hahaha no...you got Jim bending, for all you know he's going to draft a grinder
First off we have to get the first overall pick, and that's not happening
lucas Rozmus lmao ur a moron, bennings a great GM. He's only been with the Canucks for like 3 years. The situation he was handed when he was hired was horrifying. Previous management was pathetic. Benning drafts well, trades well, signs well.

Just my two cents, but Benning isn't really a great GM he has made questionable decisions but I'm pretty sure that guy was being sarcastic.
harrishan logan What questionable decisions has he made?
kid's a stud
Future wing thank god
dont put the misic in
welcome to florida😭
OMG...his hands! Look at his hands. I rarely see forwards with these kind of hands. Now a defender!!!...who also can play shutdown defense!!! This is a given no 1 for 2018 draft. This is a guy you build a team around!

Like comapring NHL to some middle eastern hockey league ;-)
Welcome to the Leafs
wiifire8 yeah no
16 year old dahlin is way better than mcdavid when he was 18 mabeye 19
Owen LaRocque yeahhhh noo
relax people. he only had 3 points in 25 games in the men's league.
Well, that's the whole point; he's 16 and was able to play in the men's league. Nicklas Bäckström, Erik Karlsson and Victor Hedman at 17 combined for 14 points in 103 games in the same league.
i actually thought that he was a forward.... 3 points in 25 is not bad for a dman, specially for a 16 yrs old playing in a men's league.
this is a men's league
Looks like Buffalo and Arizona are amongst the most likely to land this kid. If the Sabres win the lottery and still can't make it work with Dahlin and Eichel, then they should just give up and throw in the towel.
Lol
#Redwings!
So this supposed to be the new Erik Karlsson?
No, more like the new Bobby Orr
Buffalo might actually be a hard team to beat..
OTTAWA PLEASE!!!
Sens4Lyfe6 We took an L! #TankForDahlin #GoSensGo
hell yeah! we need to tank and get a top superstar! #dahlin
I can see that happening lol, now I understand why Ottawa is doing so bad, tank for dahlin sign karlsson to a 10 year extension , go sens
#Fallin4Dahlin
Bobby orr...
Oh Hockey Gods hear our prayers, please let this stud come to Montreal.
We offer up 40000 tons of poutine, 200000 liters of Molson beer, and a decades worth of maple syrup.
not enough poutine, sorry ur stuck with Filip Zadina... oh wait, u chose the bust, Jesperi Kotkaniemi!
Habs are so fucking trash.
Whys this man wearing a cage? No hate, just wondering
You have to wear a cage if you're under 18.

Quite unfortunate that a talent like his will be wasted with Buffalo.
new william nylander
No
The next red wing

Welcome to Buffalo!!!!!
Svenska kvalitet sa klart!!
Attention Detroit
As much as I don't want to see it the Canucks should have a good shoot of getting him.. maybe they Can have some lotteryluck this year?
Rangers are coming for ya buddy! Just hang in there.
Many Leafs fans wanting to tank next year, it's sad
The leafs are ready to win, I don't get it. It's like tanking is the only things some leafs fans know, lmao..
the next karlsson
Dahlin will be better. Take that to the bank.
fbsiubvsitdhdhjuk lol you're only saying that cuz he might be a potential canuck
Lightbulb I know you won't believe me but that's not true. I will be extremely envious of whoever gets him.
my little pony fans Dahlin will be as good as Lidstrom.
The next Crosby
Hope Blackhawks get him but i bet that will not happen
skilled defensemans....thats why Sweden hockey is still growing up...bettter and better
