This is in a MENS tournament with a couple actual good NHL players. Did I mention that Power is 6’5” 215 and his name is awesome? Expand Bailey Johnson from Smaht Shooting was on WGR talking about Power. In a couple of years when he gets stronger and more mature he is going to be a top pairing defenseman. It would be advisable to play another year in college. The Sabres shouldn't overthink this draft. With the first pick we should take Power. The analyst also talked about Beniers and Johnson. https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/authors/howard-and-jeremy Quote

Everyone hopes Power turns into a top a defender and they get enamored with him but if you read enough reports you notice they often can't quite list something he is really good at. Beniers on the other hand is really good or elite at several things from his skating to his work ethic to his use of teammates to his 2-way game. The best player in the draft is Matthew Beniers. 3 Quote

It's a 2nd tier tournament that is being overhyped. Beniers also made a team but sadly got injured. The speed of the Worlds was slower than I would have hoped and that is the Achilles heal for Power. His decision making and reads can be slow and that gets him in trouble especially defensively. Scouch put it best, "pucks leak through him".

Expand Actually, someone who is a Power's Stan, tell me things he is really good at. Help me understand. Really good means borderline elite or better. Beniers for example has elite skating, 2way game, really good passing and use of teammates. Edited June 8, 2021 by LGR4GM spelling Quote

Calling people names and bullying those that don’t agree with your draft choice. You are going to have a mental breakdown well before the draft.

When you stan something you are in favor of it happening or you like it a ton. You can stan Granato as coach for example. 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 8, 2021 Author Report Posted June 8, 2021 You can also ship something. You could ship Power and the Sabres. Meaning you want them in a relationship. Quote

DarthEbriate Posted June 8, 2021 Report Posted June 8, 2021 If we're not feeling modern slang, we can also think of it as the Persian root "istan". As in Kazakhstan. Or in this case Powerstan or Benierstan. The land of Beniers! mmmm... land of be'ers... Skybluewaterstan. Hammstan. Quote
