In my opinion Power’s greatest issues come from pace of play and not being able to slow the game down mentally enough. He has shown himself capable of doing things that young defensemen typically struggle with, particularly as spacing is concerned, but he’s still getting turned around in the defensive zone. I think NHL GMs recognize this and still value him as a piece with immense upside. If that’s the case, which is might not be, then he should be able to command a significant trade package, or at least a Will Smith caliber player. With Tuch likely leaving, we need to add more to the offense. On top of that, I’m also tired of waiting. If Power becomes great elsewhere and whomever we acquire is a strong piece that can help us on a deep run then it’s a win-win.

I’m no fan of Power and would be fine with moving him but I think it’s more likely than not that Power will be a significantly better defenseman at 25 than Samuellson

The numbers match the eyes. He’s been very good and everything he was always supposed to be.

I don’t want either of them anywhere near Team USA at this point. It’s gotta be earned, not given.

It’s not expected to. To my knowledge, the handful of expected Team USA players that are injured should all be back in time. Matthew Tkachuk is the biggest maybe.

Not me. I’d just sit on the wall. Can’t skate circles around what you can’t encircle.

If he keeps up this level of play through the rest of the season he’ll have the second best contract on the team.

Went to the game today. I’m used to seeing us get spanked in Raleigh so this was a nice treat. Samuelsson is currently our best defenseman. What a season from him so far. Benson and Zucker really drive this team more than the scoresheet lets on. Lots of good performances today.

It’s almost like this is common knowledge throughout the league and that three goalies doesn’t work. It’s not Lindy keeping all three up.

This simply isn’t true at all.

I’ll be in Lewiston on Sunday. I’ll Rick to step up and get involved.

Gotta love Power-Bryson.

The team and staff both suck and are poorly constructed. Not a tough concept if you’ve paid attention the last decade and a half.

Sabres game after a Bills loss

The Bills won’t win a Super Bowl under McBeane —> Terry won’t hire anyone better —> The Bills won’t win a Super Bowl with Pegula as owner The Bills problems aren’t Terrys fault per se, but they are McDermott’s and Beane’s and that’s been clear to see for several seasons now. Fire McDermott and see what Beane can do working for what’s best for Josh and not what’s best for McDermott’s defense.

That was the play of the season. Wow.

The Sabres lost this exact game a week ago and nothing changed. Why would last night be the impetus?

Football figured it out. Points equal fun. Baseball figured it out. Runs equal fun. Hockey needs to get on the bandwagon when it comes to these silly overturned goals. *Basketball thought it figured it out with points equaling fun but this may or may not be the case.

This isn’t goalie interference either. It was just against the rules at the time.

I’m being told Lindy is sulking in his office.

Isn’t that Chan Gaileys personal blog?

The thing that bugs me most about the whole Jerry Forton and his influence is how there’s a story out there that he’s close to the McAvoy’s and was pushing hard for us to draft Charlie, but we instead went Nylander. The one time the guy was right, we ignored him.

https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-native-american-heritage-night-2025-details here’s a breakdown of what everything means

Tuch and Thompson both came into the season considered bubble players for Team USA and each matched a skill-set Team USA needs. So far, neither have done anything positive to increase their chances. Does anyone think they’ll make the Olympics and what would need to be done before then for either one to get the call?
