‘The Sabres now have five players signed until at least 2029-30: Power, Dahlin, Tage Thompson, Dylan Cozens and Mattias Samuelsson. Each was a difference-maker during the team’s playoff push last season, when their 91 standing points were only one shy of the Florida Panthers for the Eastern Conference’s final playoff spot. After signing both defensemen, the Sabres are projected to have $20.025 million in salary-cap space for 2024-25, when, according to CapFriendly.com, Dahlin and Power will be two of the 15 highest-paid defensemen in the NHL.’
