Nope. Can't say the last time I've seen either Rounders or Tombstone.

Tough to guess on. Ventura + Tage/Sammy make you think it's at least possible. He's so far ahead of Dahlin at the same age that I don't think there's the same hesitancy and the comps are very well established now.

Maybe I'm not the most objective person here on Power though.

With the expected cap limit increase over the next 3 seasons, there's also the chance Power doesn't want a long term deal yet, so he can really cash in when the cap rises and his play has truly taken off.

Good point by Duffer on the telecast. UPL made a couple very nice saves early that allowed us to find our game. 40 more minutes. Would go a long way to pop one early on our remaining PP time.

I agree, just think he might be more inclined to wait

Possible, but usually feels like the player wants a long term deal that the team isn't willing to meet.

Imagine he'd be looking at 7m on a bridge and saving a couple million early on his deal doesn't benefit them at all (unless there's an internal cap).

I don't know if anyone watched, but it sounds like Miller and his family are feeling out the area and team a bit. Perhaps he ends up in management or as a developmental coach.

Can call him out I guess, but everyone cheating up the ice caused that one in my book.

Rumors were that Sabres management wanted a long term deal with Dahlin, but his group did not.

Could be the same case with Power.
