Power is so mind boggling annoying to watch, I don't really like anything about his game at all.

Owen Power is going to be a fine defenseman, but he’s never going to be what anyone wants him to be. That’s okay, even whipping boys can be solid contributors. Some of the best are.

It's worse than that, his fancy stats contradict what we all see with our eyes. Meaning you won't find anyone criticizing Power except here and in the After the Whistle podcast.

It'd be great if he could play defense, though.

If it's taxing you might I suggest crocheting. Knit one pearl 2 seamed to calm grandma down for a few decades....

You're going to get a talking to by Weave... or probably not.

Any player can sticklehandle with weights and practice shooting and get better though. That isn’t a type that’s just focus

I think Power is going to be fine too.  He's just turning 22 and I think it's valid that a 6'6" kid takes longer to develop.

As a 1OA, how long should we expect it take for him to develop? And I'm still trying to figure out what his competitive advantage is... skating, defense, toughness, puck movement, enthusiasm/energy?

He does have six assists already this year. Tied for the team lead with Tuch

He hasn't played bad at all this year.

Plus, give him some time with Lindy coaching him. In Ruff we trust!
