"An offensively very skilled player. Dahlén is a good scorer and playmaker and quite shifty with fine technical skills and overall offensive awareness. Furthermore, an agile and creative player with great character. Skating might look suspicious at times, in some ways quite comparable to father Ulf’s, but he reaches good speed and has impressive edge work. Good work ethic and a capable two-way player.

Dahlen is rated a B level Prospect, projected to be a scoring winger arriving in the NHL by 2019-20 (Hockey News).
