If you weren’t aware of him already, the World Juniors will probably make you aware of Rasmus Dahlin.
He already used the tournament as a launching pad of sorts for his career last year when he became the first 2000-born player to play in the tournament. Now, he is projected to become the first overall pick in the 2018 NHL entry draft and he showed why in practice with Team Sweden.
In a friendly competition with the team, Dahlin ended it all with the move the Kucherov has made his own, the no-move move.
Dahlin potted two assists in Sweden’s first game of the tournament, but they didn’t have much of a test playing against Belarus. They’ll play Czech Republic tomorrow, a team who upset the Russians on opening day and have several interesting talents up front.
They probably won’t take them as lightly as the Russians did in their matchup.
