People who just hate the Sabres, or they are jealous they didn't get Owen Power

I think its cause a year of his ELC is gonna be burned thats why people voted no

But if he was signed in the summer they would get that extra year.


Ok, that makes sense.

My only question is why now. They got 9 games left (after tonight)

Should have signed him to a future deal that starts in 2022-2023 season as burning a year just makes no sense


They want him to play in the AHL, especially for playoffs. If they didn't sign him, he'd just be sitting around. That's useless for his development

Contract will slide. Can't hurt to see how he does with 9 games.

Not that I blame Eichel for wanting out. But Eichel kinda did to himself by signing a an eight year extension with a bad organization. IMO the Sabres have turned the corner and might be considered a place to play very soon....prospects and cap space.
Heck Jersey was a place no one wanted to play, but they are turning the corner too.


They are?

Because he's a late birthday born in 2002 and signed his deal in 2022, Owen Power's Entry Level Signing Age is 20.

This means that he is not slide eligible and will burn the first year off his EL contract regardless if he plays in a game this season or not.

Well if they have Craig in net idk it could go either way

But yeah Mathews and Marner have been on a tear rn

Matthews 49 goals in 49 games
Marner 68 points in 38 games

So who knows lul


On a year vs every team except the sabres. Who have beat them 2X in that tear 5-1and 5-2. Time to see if the Leafs will get 1 back.

Who would have predicted that both their goalies would have gotten injured and they have to rely on a 21 YO goalie?
And their two best players both missing significant time this year

Sabres are doing the rebuild right this time. Building from the draft. Two #1 D's potentially. They still need to hit on a couple of their forward prospects, but I like their direction.

We've said it before and they failed, but they are a young NHL goalie away from looking like becoming a future contender. Ukka hasn't progressed the way you would want a goalie to progress, so I think they need to set their eyes on someone else.

It's just hard to imagine them not figuring it out with Dahlin and Power as the cornerstones. Sometimes a good Goalie comes outta nowhere. Most times you need to draft and develop him. But, if you look at where this organization was a year ago and compare it to now...It's night and day better, imo.
