Sabres Announce Owen Power Extension 7 years, 8.35 Million AAV
Thorner replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Where is tiger woods going to outscore me more: at pebble beach, or on the mini golf course? the harder the field to navigate, the more potential pitfalls the weaker will fall into @dudacek -
Sabres Announce Owen Power Extension 7 years, 8.35 Million AAV

I meant more so because it’s not really a zero sum game when there’s only one winner: and there’s only so much you can maximize 20 roster spots. put it this way: we were already headed into the flop with pocket Kings. A few teams are going to get to limp in with Ace Eight and potentially bite us in the ass with those extra cards to play Not really what I’m getting at. Perhaps I’m explaining poorly -

I like the Power contract for the same consistent reasons why I disliked the Dahlin bridge. It’s not really important to me to stride the fence. my opinion on the Dahlin contract he got now is simply: He’s Rasmus Dahlin -

It’s funny, I think it’s probably the opposite. These contracts looks to me to be Kevyn Adams handling the cap situation excellently - under the prism of how it’s already set up anything that makes the cap system EASIER to navigate for other teams moving forward probably weakens our advantage we were going to be one of the teams winning that game Tighter cap = advantage KA -

Probably rights the wrong of bridging Dahlin. A haircut would serve him far better in this pursuit -
Then I disagree with the premise

How concerned is Sabrespace about the defense and goaltending?

Sabres Sign Dahlin to an 8 Year 88 Million Dollar Extension
Thorner replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
I’ve found that to be perhaps a function of how much he’s speaking to the refs - and it sort of ties into a discussion I saw in another thread about how Crosby was disliked coming into league - there’s often an intangible bias against younger players. But if Dahlin actually *had* the C that comes with veteranship, I bet the refs mind all the yakking less -

Hey, Mark Scheifele got 8.5 x 8 based on this principle -
It’s a definite déjà vu feeling looking, year over year. Obvious Benson exception. I understand the aim for continuity - should be fascinating to see how it all unfolds

Did the 05-06 team have a hall of famer?

Who knows. If I had a guess: not likely, because the fact of the matter is, that move would require a GM who’s reasonably patient and deliberate at the most frantic of times to make a move at a time when the market is calm -
Fittingly, I can disagree with your post. I missed every flower, and the garden itself. this place deserves a better class of thorn, and I’m gonna give it to em

ftfy cheers dude I missed you

Yep. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again f*ck the Chicago blackhawks thats it

Thanks, chief I missed you

Hellebuyck isn’t weak in those areas compared to others, weird misnomer I’ve noticed around here. He’s well above average. Those are merely the areas he isn’t elite in. Ie he’s elite in most areas but only quite good in a couple. it would be pretty odd to not add Hellebuyck for this specific reason because the only goalies that wouldn’t struggle mightily in those areas are the count-on-one-hand other elite goalies. It would be sort of weird to gameplan to have these terrible defensive deficiencies for the course of an 8 year term. It doesn’t matter who we have in net if we don’t fix the issues.

He can be right, less wrong is fine by me if we make the playoffs -
I’ve seen Eichel with a 200 ft game (so, current Jack Eichel) mentioned, as well as Wayne Gretzky mentioned a couple times.. maybe we get lucky for once and he ends up somewhere, while I won’t say in the “middle”, somewhere in between the two To me I kind of see Brayden Point

By all means continue linking players with better defence and better offence

His d doesn’t fit in with the Usual Suspects though it’s more x-men origins: Wolverine out there in the defensive zone. in all honesty I wager to say the Days of him being the Future are Past
