Dahlen was really promising cuz he and Petey played together in the shl and also Dahlen hard carried his team to shl from minors without Petey the following year . It's too bad he couldn't handle the AHL coaching and bolted back. Seems like he's doing well, almost 80pts in 50 games.
Hoglander is awesome, he got sick hands, even more sick than Petey. Another creative stick handler, and also works hard along the boards despite his size. That would be a huge addition to the team, hopefully he can translate his game to the NHL. he's not shy to play physical despite being small, but he's 190lbs, heavier than Petey despite being much shorter. I think that's one of the biggest upside, he plays engaged and physical rather than a typical small skilled perimeter forward.
Those shorter players with the stocky frames can actually have an advantage in some ways.
Really good center of gravity and they just draw penalties because a shoulder to shoulder hit may look like a headshot lol.
Petrus Palmu is built like a fire hydrant. 5'6 175 lol. Looks like he is going be a career Liiga player though.
