In another groundbreaking move that proves the team is going all-in on their young stars, the Buffalo Sabres have inked a monumental deal. The new contract secures their defensive powerhouse Owen Power for a seven-year stretch until 2030-31. The contract, boasting an impressive average annual value of $8.35 million, solidifies Power’s role as a linchpin in the Sabres’ defense strategy.
Pierre LeBrun reports: “Power’s agent Pat Brisson says both sides had been talking for a while but things got accelerated over last few days with a mutual desire to get it done before opening night. Kevyn Adams is on a roll.”
The Sabres have masterfully locked in their entire young core, heralding a new era of unstoppable talent on the ice. Rasmus Dahin, the defensive maestro, is now on board until 2031-32, joined by Tage Thompson, Dylan Cozens, and Mattias Samuelsson, all signed through 2029-30. With this dream team set in stone, Buffalo’s hockey future has never looked brighter.
Dahlin, the other big-name defenseman for the Sabres said of Power, “He does so much out there that he doesn’t get credit for.” He added, “He’s always at the right spot at the right time. He barely makes any mistakes. He never gets tired playing that way. It just looks like he’s floating around there but he’s so smart. He’s always at the right spot.”
Power, who showcased his prowess with four goals and 31 assists in 79 games last season, is poised to take the league by storm. Experts predict that this strategic move will not only pay off in the short term but also yield incredible dividends as Power enters his prime. The Sabres are gearing up for a victorious journey, and fans can expect nothing short of electrifying performances as these young stars shine brightly on the ice.
