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.
In 2022/23, 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, and he broke 50 Points again the year after. Last season, Dahlin again was excellent, scoring 68 Points with a sixth-place finish in Norris voting.
Should Dahlin stay with Buffalo, this man should be a top-five player.
