How long before Power supplants Dahlin on the top power play, making Dahlin redundant, leading to that Dahlin for Stutzle type trade?
- kingcong39

I have to ask…is this a joke? Do you really think Power supplants maybe the best PP QB in hockey while both are still here?

I genuinely can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic

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

josi had 96 points last year and was a distant 6th

my guess is for every dahlin vote, tage will be 1 spot above or below him

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


A lot of it hinges on the final production numbers for Cozens after this season, but totally agree with his agent's perspective.

Not so easy to try and other players they can't make more than Tage.

Dahlin will be a fun conversation this offseason.

He may make $11M per on his next deal.

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.
- Buff36

Eh. I think history shows that there’s very few successful PP2’s. The top guys always go 1:10-1:25 and then the second unit really doesn’t get much time.

I'm poking fun at a poster here who predicted what I shared, and suggested the Dahlin for Stutzle trade due to Dahlin becoming redundant, when Power was drafted.

Who are the other three aside from those two: Tuch, Tage, Cozens...?

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 work for the Sabres/ 5 years.....

Max out your core players and keep them here for as long as possible.

I get a 3 year deal for power / similar to dahlin.

Then 8 more.....

Sure, still doesn't mean that the Sabres can't have a successful 2nd one, especially with the talent they will be able to throw out there.

I don't follow. It seemed like a pretty innocent statement.

the easy move is the wrong move which is sending 6k back to rochester so they do not loose fitz, asplund or vinny to waivers

I wonder if they had any kind of understanding with Anderson before the season as this situation was very possible. I wonder if they tell him to take a few weeks off while still on the active roster. Of course, that doesn't solve the logjam at D.

If you did the Anderson to IR because old move, isn't the logjam on defense easy to solve?

Fitzgerald is waived, and that solves it?

Would be great if Anderson conveniently went on IR tomorrow. Just keep pushing back a real decision. If he can only play once a week, use the rules to your advantage.

star spangled banner done at the jags/titans game saturday night with tribute to damar

the guy playing is a casual friend of mine and does a lot for the community down here with troubled kids and music

he was a vet who was shot in the head during desert storm and spent 6 months in a coma and when he came back had to relearn how to play guitar

a feel good story that did not get any national attention but I thought I would share

here is his band and of course he is the singer and does a lot of original stuff as well
