He was good on the PP. He isn't afforded PP time this year, and imagine that, he's almost pointless in more ways than one.

He's +5000 to score the first goal tonight

If he was great on the PP he’d be playing there.

Last I checked Philly doesn’t have a Karlsson or Dahlin ahead of him

He was good at it here. It's the only thing he was good at. Until Dahlin took it from him.

How much does Dahlin cut into any Tage MVP votes against McDavid?

Tuff = no PP time

Anyone going to the Sabres game tonight?

Aside from out of towners, why not?

He was great at passing the puck to Jack. I won't litigate this one again

How long before Power supplants Dahlin on the top power play, making Dahlin redundant, leading to that Dahlin for Stutzle type trade?

Player has a say as well. Cozens may not want a 7-8 year deal.

It works for both sides for 5 years.

It’s a gamble for the Sabres for sure.

- ImThatGuy


It doesn't make any sense for the team and they have control. If he doesn't want to sign long term, then you bridge.

I want to see them on the same PP, hopefully next season.

I am assuming that this is a serious question? I think Power is an excellent driver of play and will continue to grow into a better version of a guy like Pietrangelo. I've seen no indication that he is anywhere near the offensive force that Dahlin is.

Got a goathead for Christmas... with a gift card for the name stitching... not sure who to get.

I'm leaning towards Cozens atm.. but could get Dahlin or Power.. was going to go with Quinn but hes been quiet lately

- DirtyDan


The great thing is you have Dahlin, Thompson, Skinner, Samuelsson, Tuch, Power, Cozens, the kids, and if you're really ballsy UPL here for a long time. Variety.

We've been the 1st or 2nd PP all season. I doubt anyone in the NHL would supplant Dahlin on the top PP for the next decade.

Can't wait to see Power controlling his own PP unit. Sabres once a few youngins mature should be able to throw 2 very good PP's out there.

Why would we fix what ain't broke? You let Power run his own powerplay with Vic, Quinn, Peterka, Mitts, and somebody

If Dylan Cozens agent is doing his job he's going to say Skinner makes 9 when they say Tage makes 7.

keeping 3 goalies is unorthodox in the regular season.
- TheSabresTaco


Lots of circumstance in buffalo though.

41 year old guy, oldest in the league
Comrie coming off of an injury
Upl having a career of injuries

I think we keep 3 or waive comrie.....
Maybe fake IR move
