Rasmus Dahlin (Vastra Frolunda, SweE) begins the 2017-2018 season comfortably atop the ISS Top 31 rankings. ISS Director of Scouting Dennis MacInnis has been very impressed with Dahlin?s abilities, stating:
"Absolute top prospect for the 2018 NHL Draft, has the potential to become a franchise player. Dahlin plays an amazingly mature game already. Dynamic player with the puck, with elite puck patience. High-end speed, quickness, lateral mobility, and agility. Skating ability is at the NHL level right now and his puck handling and skills are excellent. He just needs to be little more assertive in the defensive zone and that will come with maturity. He has the ability to jump into an NHL lineup as early as next fall. "
----------
ISS has Zadina as the 5th highest ranked player here but I think McIsaac is the best player for the Mooseheads and will get drafted before Zadina. Lots of time before we know for sure, but that's my opinion today.
