Huge fan of this deal, so so so good for the Sabres. Power is going to be a force to be reckoned with. What a dangerous blue line

I dont quite understand the deal. If he has a repeat or even better season, isnt pretty much the same deal still on the table in the offseason? and then at something like this which is near the max for a defenseman, couldnt get the 8th year?

Good deal, Power, Dahlin and Samuelsson will be the pillars of that Sabres defence and now they all have long term team friendly deals

Solid contract. He will be more than worth that in a few seasons time. Adams is killing these long-term deals imo. Next up is Quinn I have a feeling

Sabres take a bit of a gamble but I’m confident GMKA knows what they have and will develop into. If it pays off it might be a steal in the long run. What I also like about this deal is that Sabres are paying heavy up front (when there is ample Cap space) and at the end of the contract will seem like a deal. I like it for Owen as he’s UFA at only 27 (prime) and can cash in for big.

He's guaranteed financial security guaranteed. Wait until the off season opps career ending knee injury. Now you're no longer generationally rich.
Edit nevermind misread your comment.

Samuelsson is the only one with a team friendly deal right now.

Dahlin + Power will probably improve and make 11m + 8.4m look team friendly.

But they're both slightly above market value right now ... which is 100% fine for Buffalo.
