World Juniors Prospect – Rasmus Dahlin | Frölunda HC / Buffalo Sabres
I don’t think it matter if you would be number one or number yeah 10 or something so just to be drafted is is a dream for [Applause] me to the top of the circle cuts to the slot let’s the shot go rosmus stene with a great individual effort goes coast to
Coast and ripples the mesh [Applause] at just 17 years old rosmus Dalene is already in his second season in the shl ever since last season he has been talked about as the next defensive star to come out of Sweden and is expected to go first overall in this Summer’s NHL
Entry draft which would make him just the second swed to achieve that feat Matt sundine being the first back in 1989 I think it’s motivate me to to be a better Hooke player every day and and the draft I don’t think about the draft so much I’m just trying to focus
What what I can do every day so let’s talk a little bit about your background uh at what point at what age did you really start to consider hockey as a to pursue it seriously as a career I don’t know uh I don’t think so much about that
Right now either so I’m just love hocky and uh hockey is my life it has always been my life so I play cuz it’s best thing I know uh now are there any certain players you grew up looking up to or any players right now that you might like to play
With uh when I grew up I I watch so much on Peter forsburg and when he stopped I I look at er Carlson as a defenseman his skill with the puck is reminiscent of a forward a skill he developed growing up playing up front I’ve always been forward when I
Was younger and then U some years ago I wanted to be defenseman so you made the decision yourself to move back to the defense yeah a little bit and um yeah my my coach has put me on the spot and I liked it so yeah are there any parts of
Your game that you’d like to improve yeah my my defensive game um I’m trying to to get stronger in the gym and yeah to be better at defensive now we’ve got the World Junior Championships you played for the team last year but uh since all the exposure
You’ve gotten do you feel like more is expected out of you this year I don’t know I’m just trying to play the best I can do and enjoy it that’s the most important things I I can think about wearing the country flag must be obvious
It’s a huge honer for me yeah Funda has produced a lot of talent over the years NHL names such as Daniel alfredson Henrik lanquist Lou Ericson do you think there’s a certain reason why this team produces such such vast amounts of talent we have every chance to get good
On here and we have a great gym and uh like I said great organization and they know what they’re doing so if you come to F you have every chance to be to be a great T there with plenty of Junior talent in the league a couple of young players
Stand out in his mind to keep an eye on and our team Le Anderson and yes p on yeah it’s it’s so much play here in Sweden now uh it’s very rare to see young players playing for their NHL team the same year that they’re drafted but
Do you expect to be NHL ready next season for for me it’s it’s as always been a dream to play in NHL so it feels so long way left but I don’t know we’ll see Doan controlling in the offensive zone nice move around the defender
Dances to the slot lets the shot go and he scores rosmus Doan with a great individual [Applause] Effort
