No way either team does this

i’m saying if we took svech over dahlin with first overall. not a trade it’s a redraft.

Sorry. Didn’t read it

Honestly, I still prefer Dahlin. Dmen typically take longer to develop. I truly believe he’ll be elite

it’s all good!



i would as well. don’t get me wrong svech is absolutely unbelievable but dahlin is the next coming of lidstrom. having the generational center and defenseman is something that the sabres are thriving on.

We take what we needed. Defenders usually develop longer, also Dahlin has almost as many points as Svechnikov, while he has not even played consistently for 20+ minutes yet. He has already improved defensively, now he is getting better physically and will probably play 20+ minutes next season.

Dahlin still has the highest ceiling, but Svech (and Hughes) had a MUCH MUCH better season this year

Hughes is almost a year older as well as it helps to have a nice defensive partner and a team that can shelter you to almost 60% ozone starts

Dahlin will be the most valuable player to come out of that draft without much doubt. He won't start dominating for another couple years but will continue to take leaps of growth until then. But you look at the team around guys like Svech and Hughes and it's no wonder that they are playing so well. Once Buffalo gets better, Dahlin's grow will continue to blossom
