Meeting the media at the NHL Scouting Combine: Rasmus Dahlin

BUFFALO - Here are excerpts of prospect Rasmus Dahlin's scrum with reporters on Friday afternoon at the 2018 NHL Scouting Combine at HarborCenter.

When you look around the city, and knowing the Sabres have the No. 1 pick, do you see yourself maybe being here?
RASMUS DAHLIN: Yes, of course. Nothing is done, so I have to wait until the Draft and see what's coming up. If I'm coming here, I would love to be here. I heard about the great fans and everybody loves hockey here. It seems like Buffalo is a great city.
How much are you maybe looking around Buffalo differently knowing this is probably the place you'll play?
RD: I'm just enjoying my time here and doing some meetings and testing. The time here has been great. I'm so excited for the upcoming Draft.
How much do you hear about the way people talk about you, and do you feel that pressure when someone calls you a generational talent and a franchise-altering player? Do you feel that pressure at 18 years old?
RD: Not so much, actually. I've learned to not think about it and just focus on what I can every day. Just eat, sleep. I have so many other things to learn about. I feel it's kind of easy.

How did your season go? Are you happy with it, and do you feel you're NHL ready right now?
RD:My season went so good. I learned so many things. I think I'm ready right now to play in the NHL. We'll see what the team that picks me says. I'm just waiting. It's exciting to see.
What's it like for you at your age dealing with this media attention all the time?
RD: It's pretty awesome, actually. It's the first time with so many cameras, I think. It's fun. I love it.
