In 2018, Rasmus Dahlin became the second Swedish player (after Mats Sundin) to be drafted number one, and thus far for the Buffalo Sabres, it has proven to be a good match.

An excellent two-way Defenseman, Dahlin was an All-Rookie player in 2018/19, scoring 44 Points, which he followed up with 40 the year after.  Dahlin dipped to 23 Points in 2020-21 in the COVID-shortened year, but he found his touch again in 2021-22, scoring 53 Points, and going to his first All-Star Game.

Last year, Dahlin broke out with 73 Points and a +12, and again was an All-Star.  Dahlin also earned Norris Trophy votes for the first time, finishing eighth.

Should Dahlin stay with Buffalo, this man should be a top five player.
