Yeah if Dahlin trends the way he has post ASG I can't see him not making 10, full well knowing Makar makes 9.

Dahlin is not a 10 mill a year player, the Sabres "cap" will stay at 62-65 and that's if they even go to 65.

tage is not exactly an iron man either though

Good point , but being a 1C NHL player is different than olo.

Those guys get paid, tage will be getting a ror type deal
7 x 7 . If he takes the contract this offseason.

Next year after another 30+ goals 8 x 8.

Identify your talent and pay them

Cap's not going up, not now anyway and no chance in hell he makes more then Makar.
- SABRES 89


Nurse, Jones, Mcavoy, Werwenski all make more than Makar. Dahlin is better than all 4

Unfortunately it doesnt open. Tried earlier as well.

Those are just opinions correct?

Some people just underappreciate certain players

Dahlin will get what he wants from us or he'll get it in FA. I don't see him taking a pay cut unless we start winning now.

I know we rip on the Peguals quite often, but in all seriousness I hope she is okay with whatever is going on.

Hm.. I mean they're different. I'd trade Power for him right now. McAvoy is one of if not the best true defenders in the league.

Absolutely dirty d, and if we somehow fall back to a lottery team again...... or even pick 9th again with 77 points and no forward direction

No way dahlin stays...


Big season in many ways....

I can't see how that is even a thought... Power could very well be the best D man in the chel in the future. He could also not be. But the potential outweighs that IMO

Opinions vary. But McAvoy IS one of the best, Power could be. It's a trade I'd personally make, full well knowing Power's potential.

Ok thank you

As much as I have been an olo fan since Rochester, he has serious size and soft play liabilities.

He could fit into a team like Florida, as did Sam.

We are missing all that toughness and once the playoffs start playing , he's gonna be an easy target.
Especially if he gets scoring early..

third liner got 14 more points then him in 21-22 season


jokes aside, his face off percentage is brutal and he has done this over a small sample size


he could be the next tim connolly or he could be a centerpiece for this franchise

tough call

I think he is. Imagine him playing with Drais and Mcjesus or the Pasta line... He'd blow the pt totals outta the water.

His defensive game took off after those horendous first 20-25 games and it will only get better imo
