Dahlen seems like a nice looking second round pick so far but to infer that he has the potential to have the development curve Forsberg had is a pretty big assumption. And you did that by comparing their stats, which is fine but doesn't at all mean Forsberg is a good comparable.

To be fair Blaster and myself also posted other comparables of guys who haven't had the same success as Forsberg, you guys just decided to run away with the Forsberg one.
I wouldn't mind the Flames targeting the Senators in trades though. Senators seem to have moved into win now mode, and Dorion seems to value veterans and will overpay to get them.
In the last year the Sens have traded Mika Zibanejad, a 2017 2nd, a 2018 2nd and Jonathan Dahlen for Dion Phaneuf, Derrick Brassard & Alex Burrows.
Can't argue with the results too much because they have had a good season but I wouldn't mind shedding a veteran for a pick.
