Was he a pivatol linemate of one of our developing high end draft picks in Rochester this past season? I didn't get to catch any but 1 playoff game so I'm unaware of the line make ups.

Correct

Sign him for 3 or 4 at 6 to 7, grab the 8 yr contract when that one ends, this kid should be a Sabres for life.

Sad to see him go Happy his career is moving forward Future head coach of the Buffalo Sabres?

If my Peas are growing hair, no chance! 😀

Cost, not in the trade but his extension. With Dahlin and Power due up, how much is KA willing to dump in to D cap wise?

Thanks Ogre. And ya, I'm feeling it. Tomorrow, I get up at the service to speak. I'm not writing it down, it will flow out of me from the heart.

It's the hardest hit I've taken yet, and I've lost a couple in the inner circle.

I agree. Even a great depth player is very doable.

I so believe in this new group of swords, that I'm hopeful for over 100 points for Tage, but 90+, at that price, yes please. As for Cozens, this young man's potential is off the charts. I'm calling it now, 100+ points, 40+ goals for him this season. Now, if I'm wrong, I own it, no ifs, ands, or butts....... This young up and coming group has me beyond excited LG. I'm ready to crash in to a brick wall for them as a fan. GO SABRES!!!!!!!!

I believe we can get a late 1st.

My mom passed away last Thursday @ 1:21AM. Thanks in advance to all for the condolences, she's the one who introduced me to hockey from birth. She was a fanatic, the apple never falls far from the tree. My complaint? I am going to buy a jersey and name plate it with my moms maiden name, Linda Morgan (you can see her obit on wattengale.com), but, the cemetery where she is being interned won't let me erect a 20' flag pole with a Sabres flag over her..... So, I get it, rules is rules, not even veterans get flag poles, but that doesn't mean I can't vent about it. Thanks all for hearing me out.

Hasn't heard these 2 in a long while now. Forgot they were still a thing on some platform. Not that I dislike their points of view, but I was hoping wgr could get a daily hockey related broadcast team on the air that spent more time talking about hockey and less about their comfort zone of tighty whitey's or their golf game.

He's got 1 yr @ 4.025 mil left. What's his next contract demands going to be?

Good, the seadon is over, now we can focus on our Sabres.

Ya, I'm not big on grammer. Life's to short to worry about a word or 10 😀

So, just reading the tea leaves in this thread, we'd rather Samson win the cup than Jack. I really don't care which one it is, it's not the Sabres so I'm indifferent as to which wins.

Would he sign an offer sheet from the Sabres?

Power is just getting started, I don't see him as complete of an offensive d man as Dahlin, close, but not complete. What I do see is a beast both in the D zone and the transition game. I saw Power grow as the season progressed in protecting the puck, puck control and the transition game. His positioning and coverage in the D zone improved as well. He still had the occasional gaffe as all youngsters will, but I was impressed over all.

At 8.5? Yes He's a 1st OA pick that looks every bit the part. Power is going to continue to grow in to that frame of his, he's going to be a force on the back end imho.

I believe he'll want Dahlin money.

I believe it's highly unlikely your going to see Power on a 7 or 8 year extension. His agent has to know a 1 to 3 yr deal post ELC sets Power up for a fat long term deal from 23 to 25 yrs old on up. Just my hunch.

With regard to Adams and an RHD.... I'm guessing he's going to want that top 4 RHD to be NHL experienced (thinking 25 to 30 age range) and cost controlled (already under contract at a reasonable cost for 3 / 4 years or more). I started looking at teams rosters on capfriendly but am unfamiliar with many of the other teams D players game style (stay at home, 2 way, offensive). Anyone have any thoughts on it outside of the already beat to death names? Is my guess fairly accurate even?
