I’m just saying, being around Samuelsson at this stage is not indicative of a strong 1OA. Don’t we already know he’s not a strong 1OA? Jumping through hoops to prove an established fact, perhaps guilty as charged edit - I should say average. He’s below average Edited June 7, 2021 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, I agree that it would be disappointing to me as well to see Power ranked 3rd on our depth chart right now, not so much if McCabe was under contract. I disagree. We've used 3 of our last 5 high picks on lhd. He could also overtake Samuelsson fairly quickly (or not, always hard to tell with defense) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the draft lottery all of pro hockey media was talking about where Owen Power would go based on the lottery. Afterwards, the same. His own head coach already tweeted he’s looking forward to him joining Buffalo (he joked that it can’t be until 2022, though). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s below average Is anyone saying Power is a strong #1? I thought the main issue at hand is whether he is #1 this year. all kinds of players who don’t play in the NHL at all at 18 become stars.

I didn’t really intend it to be a point I thought would draw much contention The stats say it’s unusual for a one. I’m not saying he won’t be good, just that he may not be good relative to other first overalls Edited June 7, 2021 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power is not a consensus in the same way McDavid or Dahlin was. At the same time I have not seen a single mock draft post lottery from pro hockey types that does not have Power going to Buffalo.

NHL Central Scouting also have Power first. Whatever people want to say, post lottery the majority of things we see is Power at one and Power to Buffalo. Does that guarantee what Buffalo will do, no, but it just shows that views are forming around hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can do it in the NHL. I mean in the 70s those amazing Habs teams had the Super 3 on the backend, Savard, Lapointe and Robinson. They were all LHD. They didn’t care, they just played them on either side and prospered greatly. If Power is the best player then take him and prosper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if Eichel stays and next year the Sabres win the lottery are they going to say “We have one good RHC so we shouldn’t take Shane Wright.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
