Dahlin, who finished with a career-high 73 points last season for the Sabres and finished eighth in Norris Trophy voting, was ranked seventh ahead of 2023 Norris winner Erik Karlsson. The Sabres reportedly have been working on an extension with Dahlin over the summer, but there have been no indications that a deal is imminent.
