He has better skill and hockey sense than Parayko did at his age. I have him somewhere between Tyler Myers and Bobby Orr.

My source says this is fake news.

Who has a higher floor, Power or Beniers?

Agreed, was just thinking the same thing about McCabe. Doesn't matter. You don't pass on this guy. Period.

#1 pick confirmed. I watched him closely this game, and he was fantastic... in total control, drove play, silky passes on the breakouts... he's special.

That's allowed, smh.

Buffalo already has an injury prone center, don't need another... #draftpower

It was a hard hit, hockey is a violent game. Scheifele has no previous history. 1 game tops.

switch okposo for skinner and there might be something here...

Fake injury to avoid Sabres?

🤦🏻‍♂️

Have you watched Power play? He looks like a 10 year vet out there. He's everything Ekblad was but bigger and more skilled. Don't overthink this.

Beniers reminds me of Mittlestadt. His college season Casey had 30 points in 34 games, Beniers college season 24 points in 24 games 👀... both in the BIG-10. Power is a beast, you can't teach his combination of size and skill. He'll be a cornerstone for the next 15 years.... think Jones, Weber, Hedman, Pronger, Chara, Robinson, Burns, MacInnis, Blake, Murphy, etc... he's cut from the same cloth, you don't pass that up, ever.

Knowing KA personally, my money is on Power becoming a Sabre.

DRAFT POWER EVERY PROSPECT HAS WARTS. You don't find D with his size and skill set very often... he'll eat minutes, provide offense and shore up the d-zone. He's a grade A kid with a fantastic head on his shoulders, a coaches dream. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I love Zegras, he was my pick when BUF took Cozens. That said, DRAFT POWER... KEEP EICHEL. Trade Reinhart and Risto to solidify the goaltending position and perhaps some forward depth.

Sorry, this is a bad take IMO. Prospects like Power with his size and skill don't come around often. He's a rare breed, he's built different, he's the best prospect, period. The Sabres don't need a C. Eichel is still under contract... keep him. Drafting Power allows you to build a package of Reinhart and Risto for some additional F depth and/or solidifying the G position. Not taking Power just because he's a lefty? Now that would be a huge mistake.

Power also makes Risto available as a key trade piece to acquire additional forward depth.

Power is a better D prospect than Beniers is a F prospect. Any return for Eichel and/or Reinhart will include a top C coming back, so not really a need at that position. Take the known commodity in Power, a guy with his size and skill set doesn't come around very often, they should jump at the chance to take him... he'll eat 25min a game, he's a Seth Jones type... could transform the back-end on this team, and the modern game is largely driven from the back-end.

Eichel wants back in. I'm on team Power, btw.

I honestly don't care about the lottery this season. 84% chance they don't pick first.... meh, nbd.

Eichel, Reinhart, Olofsson, Luukkonen for McDavid and Neal.

He's getting an updated scan to see where the healing process is at. They'll collectively decide the next course of action... wether that's surgery or conservative treatment we don't know yet.

Isn't he due for a scan here soon? IIRC, KA mentioned 2 weeks after the press conference they would rescan and decide on surgery at that point.

nah
