Not sure why there's so much discussion over why Dahlin plays on the right. He doesn't exclusively play there, if you watch him and Samuelsson together they shift sides pretty regularly. Dahlin said he's able to produce more offensively from the right side, and often times will shift sides on the fly depending on how he reads the other teams defense. He works well with Samuelsson because Sammy is able to read what Dahlin is doing and adjust. This is where other partners for Dahlin have generally failed, they have trouble reading and adjusting to Dahlins play.
As for Hanifin including an extension, that can't happen with the 23 1st since Hanifin can't sign an extension until July 1st which is after the draft.
