Hes been playing here for years. Pesonally I don't need him to be in town to give a presser after signing. If they've come to an agreement you sign the damn thing.

French Collection Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 No rush, it’s probably done but they’re waiting for the right time to announce. KA didn’t want to take the focus away from the draft, FA frenzy and development camp. There will be so much down time coming up that this will be the #1 headline in all of hockey.

Actually, for whatever reason, it probably ISN'T "done" (as in signed by both sides). The team is required to submit all signed contracts to the league office by 5PM the day after a contract has been signed by the player. Fully expect the contract to get done and have no idea why Dahlin hasn't signed a new contract yet. Could be they want to wait until they've got Power's deal done as well and want to have a big "splash" by announcing both at the same time; could be they're still working out some very minon point; could be ... Am not concerned over it not being finalized yet; but just saying would be surprised if it has been finalized because the league has no reason to hide the contract if it has been filed with them.

Gotta let your air out a bit, or you’re going to go crazy- it’s going to be a quiet 2 months until camp. It’s like this every summer. Maybe there’ll be a surprise in which case a little found money but best to assume we’ve seen the lion’s share of Adams workload this offseason. History would suggest we have, calendar wise. Dahlin contract is a non-issue. It truly only matters if you are one of those folks who is going to claim “steal” or “overpay” based on 100k. He’s a long term Sabre at around double digits, any announcement is an anti-climax Edited July 8, 2023 by Thorny 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Kid is on a fantastic looking holiday in the south of France. Probably wants to just enjoy it. The deal is inevitable. Probably already done and just waiting for him to finish decompressing before it gets announced and he has to face the accompanying hoopla. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom webster Posted July 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Doing things right and the optics of it all are important. I remember picking up Eichel at the airport when Rasmus signed his first contract after getting drafted. Jack took time from his summer to fly into town just for the signing and he was cool with the whole thing. Even laughed at security who chased us because I drove past their checkpoint. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was a UFA on Aug.1st I might be starting to fidget a little bit but there is plenty of time. Maybe they want a photo op with Terry and a suitcase full of cash.

Thorny Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 In seriousness, I’ve mentioned before about 2 years ago the Sabres seriously revamped their social media presence, there isn’t a chance they’d miss an opportunity to do something sizeable with this so if Dahlin is travelling, it makes perfect sense they’d wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Something else to remember, even though Dylan Cozens deal was announced during the All Star Break On February 7th.
