Dahlbeck has decided to sign with a KHL team, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Impact
Dahlbeck couldn't bust through to a consistent spot in the lineup for the Hurricanes in 2017-18, dressing for just 33 games that resulted in five points -- one goal and four assists-- for the Canes. The terms of his deal in Russia have yet to surface, but it's possible the 26-year-old has played his last game in the NHL.
Dahlbeck finished the 2017-18 campaign with just five points -- one goal and four assists -- and posted a minus-6 rating.
Impact
Dahlbeck had one promising season -- 35 points in 2013-14 -- in terms of fantasy production while in the AHL, but he's never produced much offensively since making his way to the top level. The blueliner drew into just 33 games for the Hurricanes this season and enters the offseason set to become a restricted free agent. Even though he's only 26, Dahlbeck remains an unlikely candidate to surface on most fantasy radars next season.
Dahlbeck was a minus-4 in Tuesday's 7-3 blowout loss to the Oilers, but added three hits, two PIM and a blocked shot in a season-high 19:52 of ice time.
Impact
The good news is, with Noah Hanifin currently on the shelf with a concussion, Dahlbeck is finally starting to see regular minutes after spending much of the season as a healthy scratch. However, when you don't score much, you need to be defensively responsible in your own zone, something that was sorely missing from Dahlbeck's game Tuesday. He'll get a chance to redeem himself Thursday against the Coyotes.
Dahlbeck served as a healthy scratch for the eighth time in the past 10 games Tuesday against the Kings.
Impact
Dahlbeck has essentially been the Canes' seventh defenseman for most of this season, subbing occasionally for Haydn Fleury whenever the rookie needs a night off. With just a single assist in only 19 games played, Dahlbeck clearly does not move the needle in even the deepest of fantasy settings.
Dahlbeck sat out as a healthy scratch for two consecutive games prior to the All-Star break.
Impact
Dahlbeck has been splitting time with rookie Haydn Fleury as the Canes' sixth defenseman this season, which has caused him to miss 32 of the team's 49 games to date. With just a single assist to his credit this season, Dahlbeck has virtually zero fantasy value in even the deepest of formats.
Dahlbeck recorded an assist and four shots through 19:13 of ice time during Friday's 2-1 win over Pittsburgh.
Impact
This was the first point of the season for Dahlbeck, and he's only suited up for 10 of a possible 37 games. He's replaced rookie Hayden Fleury in the lineup in each of the past four contests, though, so perhaps Dahlbeck is beginning to carve out a bigger role. It's definitely best to take a wait-and-see approach with the 26-year-old defenseman in most fantasy formats, though.
Dahlbeck did not play in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Canucks, serving as a healthy scratch for the 23rd time in 27 games this season.
Impact
Dahlbeck remains the odd man out on the Canes' blue line this season. He played in just 43 games last year after being claimed off waivers in October, but he'll be lucky to see even that much game action this year at the rate he's going. With the acquistion of Trevor van Riemsdyk and the emergence of rookie Haydn Fleury, there is simply no room in the lineup for Dahlbeck right now. As such, he has zero fantasy value and should be avoided in all formats.
Dahlbeck has played in just three games this season after serving as a healthy scratch Saturday against the Coyotes.
Impact
Even with Brett Pesce out with a concussion, Dahlbeck still can't seem to find his way into the lineup. Against the Coyotes, the Canes opted to have the 26-year-old Swedish defender watch from the press box yet again, this time in favour of recently recalled rookie Roland McKeown.
Dahlbeck made his season debut and logged 13:18 of ice time during Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets. He was a healthy scratch in the season opener against Minnesota.
Impact
With Trevor van Riemsdyk on the shelf with a concussion, Dahlbeck should remain in the lineup for the foreseeable future. The 26-year-old defenseman partnered with rookie Hayden Fleury in Tuesday's game, and head coach Bill Peters will likely lean on his two top pairings while sheltering Dahlbeck and Fleury most nights. Additionally, after registering just 16 points through 58 games last season, it's probably wise not to expect a lot of offensive output from Dahlbeck.
Dahlbeck signed a one-year contract with the Hurricanes on Friday.
Impact
Dahlbeck was claimed off waivers by Carolina at the start of the 2016-17 season and apparently enjoyed his time with the team as he re-signed. The defenseman was used sparingly this year, as he logged just 43 contests in which he tallied two goals and four helpers. While his numbers may not stand out, it is possible the 25-year-old gets snatched up during the NHL Expansion Draft in June, as he almost certainly won't be one of the Hurricanes' protected players.
