Why hockey fans should already be excited about Rasmus Dahlin

Auston Matthews, Connor McDavid, Nico Hischier. These are players that get talked about before their draft year and sometimes even 2 to 3 years before. Rasmus Dahlin, it's your turn!

Yes, it is very early but the Swedish defenseman seems to be the early coveted prize for the 2018 NHL Draft. Dahlin has it all. Two way d-man, unbelievable stick handling ability and he is a very dynamic skater.

At only 17 years old Dahlin has proven that he is already good enough to play in some prime hockey events last year. As a 16 year old, he played for Sweden in the Under 17, Under 18 and the World Junior Hockey Championship (U-20) last year. Dahlin also played in two exhibition games for Sweden at the World Hockey Championship with the big boys! Dahlin is proving he already deserves the playing time at such a young age and this truly is just the beginning!
