If Rasmus Dahlin has any nerves regarding his first NHL training camp, he certainly does a good job of hiding them. With the Prospects Challenge set to begin Friday and camp opening in exactly one week, the defenseman was his usual humble, joyful self when he met with the media on Thursday.
It's the same vibe Rochester Americans coach Chris Taylor, who's leading the Sabres prospects this weekend, got from Dahlin on the ice at practice.
"He just comes to the rink and loves the game," Taylor. "I just think he loves the game. That's what we need, people like that who love the game, want to come out there and practice, get better every day. I'm excited to see him tomorrow."
