The NHL Network released its annual list of the league's 20 best defensemen on Wednesday night, and Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin cracked the top 10.
Dahlin, who posted 68 points (17 goals and 51 assists) in 73 games last season, checked in at No. 7 sandwiched between the Winnipeg Jets' Josh Morrissey and Carolina Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin ahead of the 2025-26 season.
The 2018 first overall pick ranked No. 11 on last year's list.
"Dahlin has had at least 50 points and 20 power-play points in four straight seasons," the NHL Network report stated.
