Official Sabres Sign First Overall Pick in 2021 Owen Power to His ELC/Debut Is Tentatively Scheduled versus TML on 4/12

[thewookie1]

SO do we try to convince Power to PTO with Rochester and then sign 3 years on ELC to avoid him coming up with Dahlin, Jokiharju, and Mitts contracts?

Hockey culture demands that players say they are focused on their current teams, therefore you will never hear a college player say "I am going pro as soon as I can."

Sabrefan psychology says "if something can go wrong it will."

Therefore, we will be treated to anxious posts until a player actually signs, regardless of the fact we haven't seen any indication of Portillo, Power, Johnson or Levi not wanting to start their career here.

I counted 24 college players drafted by the Sabres since 2000. Petersen is the only one who walked.

@nfreeman tweet he linked sounds like he burns his ELC no matter what because of his age.

Power is only signing to immediately start playing for the Sabres.  He will never play a game in Rochester

Vogl on the Athletic tweeted the same thing for all 3 guys.  He said they’ll burn a year regardless if they suit up or not because they are all 20+.

Power signing with Sabres

One down, two to go 

[bob_sauve28]

Cool 

[DarthEbriate]

++ If he could be signed, he would become a Powerful ally.

-- Yes. Yes. I see what you did there. Can it be done?

++ He will sign with us, or... go back to school, my master.

I’m pretty sure Adams owed him one.

[woods-racer]

Where's @Buffalonill

He hates when good things happen. He's going to be in a fowl mood all afternoon.

 

I kid.

You've been hilarious for a week!

I don't doubt that, but why would KA owe Weekes anything?

[GASabresIUFAN]

And for your first trick you get to draw into the lineup against Barkov Huberdeau and the rest of the East leading Florida Panthers.  No problem.  Go get’m tiger.

[sweetlou]

Let him practice a few days with team and then insert him against Toronto or home against St Louis.

He's not playing tonight that would be absurd. Either Tampa Sunday or Toronto next. Not that either offer an easier first game.

it was a joke, although defending Toronto's or TB's offenses is no easy task either.
