“The Sabres are tied for third in defenseman goals (14) behind the Edmonton Oilers and Seattle Kraken (15 each). They also rank among the leaders in high-danger shots on goal (19 tied for third).”

“As a team, Buffalo has the 10th best shot attempts percentage at 5-on-5 (51.6) in the League, a strong indicator of a team’s playoff chances.”

”After two combinations of Avalanche defenseman trios (49 and 48 points) involving Cale Makar, the NHL’s points leader at the position (30 in 22 games), the Sabres have the next-highest scoring trio at the position in the League (47 points).”

My hot take is this is what KA envisioned when he moved Mitts. Being offensively elite at the blue line and driving offense from the D. This is how Buffalo can be a problem for the league.  
And the best part is Dahlin is only 24, Power is only 22, and Byram is just 23. These guys haven’t even fully matured yet.
