Dahlin led all NHL defenceman in the NHL in Minors taken
Right now, hughes has performed better and pretty much underlying number backs that up
Dahlin could be better this season and going forward
but what we know right now it is hughes EASILY
At least you say it out loud. Literally the only advantage dahlin has shown so far is size.Dahlin. Im not a fan of small defenders.
Always liked Hedman more then Erik Karlsson even if the media here in sweden often called Karlsson the best defender lol.
How many think Dahlin would be suddenly be better in Vancouver? LOL
I mean the analytical dive which this thread is about. (By the numbers) Showed Vancouver and Buffalo together in the 2nd to worst classification of defensive tiers by team, And said Hughes was the only thing keeping them from the bottom. So there goes that theory.
Who has Hughes been paired with over the past 2 seasons
Tyler Myers who SUCKS
Luke Schenn
Tucker Poolman
Pretty sweet trio of partners
Dobson
Sure he will never put 60-70 points but in their zone, Dobson is above Dhalin and Hughes
Hughes.
2nd option is Boqvist
A load of expectations was too heavy for Dahlin, especially on such team as the Sabres
Dobson Or Hughes over Dahlin easily right now.
LOL Dahlin is winning this? I guess size is everything in this place. Quinn was absolutely spectacular at both ends of the ice last year. People think small = bad defensively, that will obviously never change.
Well it's sure not about the quality of play on the ice up to this point.To answer your question, yes for sure if you're including prior season.
Dahlin had some bad partners too.
Close to a 0% chance.
My guy...
I can almost understand you still sticking with the homer vote (well, for now) but Dobson easily?
Guess it's personal. I think you're jelly of the Dahlin.
You... you think it's about size?

Hughes is better talent? Obviously? Did you sleep through last season?Hughes is obviously the better talent but I’d rather have Dahlin because he’s close enough to Hughes in talent that his added size makes him the better overall player. Hughes did have the rookie playoffs where he set the record for scoring. But still I’d take Dahlin because he’s so much bigger.
It’s an opinion thread and imo Hughes is the more gifted player. Dahlin is close enough to Hughes in talent that his added size makes me prefer him.Hughes is better talent? Obviously? Did you sleep through last season?

This is the By The Numbers forum. Where are the numbers?
They both score points but to me at least size matters so I’d go with Dahlin.I’m taking Dahlin. Better all around player and solid physically
