Power will be a better defenseman than dahlin. What he is doing this so soon in his NHL career is scary.

If you haven’t listened to Granatos interview from this morning on WGR I’d suggest a listen.

He talks about how having Dahlin in this team allows power to do so much more.

It helps when you come into a team with Rasmus Dahlin on it and a real crop of forwards.

Aside from Joker as his partner, he really is in probably the most ideal situation one can be in at this point of their careers.

To his credit though, he’s making the absolute most of it.

Was just about to say this.

Dahlin was learning from...Risto

Power is learning from Dahlin

Having a stud d man to watch and play behind is doing wonders for Power. He could be a Hedman type and Dahlin can be Karlsson.

They are both on the Sabres. Incredible

He's got to know it too. All he has to do is ask Dahls what it's like to have four coaches your first four years. Ugh.

The gap right now isn't that big. It's easy to see it happening.

The average height of Buffalo's goal scorers today is taller than your team's.

Still. Processes the game at a elite level. His first pass is always the right call. Almost never throws the puck into someones skates.

The little things he does is what will make him a great defenseman. He might not ever have as many points as Dahlin, but what a 1-2 punch to have!!

He has most nights he's played. Of course helps playing with Dahlin or Power
- Buff36


And Power has Granato as a coach, Dahlin had Hously and Krueger at the same age. This shouldn't be discounted

Please let there be a god and let Power get a nasty side to him!!

Maybe.

With Dahlin you saw very early he was somewhat dirty even before he was a physical player. That always gave me a hint he would be physical. I have not seen that from Power yet, but it's still too early to tell if he ever will.

Dahlin got a lot better quickly when he started to be more physical. Power just doesn't have that same issue. Benefit of size and reach.

watching this game

clearly a 1 line team if we make the playoffs

the bruins, canes, rangers or bolts would take us out in 5 aside from a hasek performance in net


get a 2 or 3 year fixture to upgrade, not a rental

Of course, don't discount switching Dahlin to RD, it basically was his original position in Sweden. Sabres are the one that switched him to his natural side when he came here. And having a mentor is big and Risto wasn't it for Dahlin.
