Lets all remember the best player since Lemieux is a nasty "little" 5'11 guy

Claude?

So the data is wrong and Power has no ability to learn how to utilize his body to improve his game - another gem Slump.
- washedup20

"utilizing his body to improve his game" is not within 100 miles of what you were talking about

"Fine" if power is soft according to you.

Now you care?
- Boss34

He isn't soft. "Soft" is shying away from giving and receiving hits. Again, I don't know how we got here.

Soft = not a knuckle dragger.

I don’t care if Power ever has more than 50 hits a season.

That’s not why he’s here. Here here for elite level offense and defense.

Same goes for Dahlin, Thompson, Tuch, Skinner etc.

Give me elite level offense and good defense and I’m good.

Ryan Johnson. Bigger Stronger less skilled. Got out manned by the smaller not as strong more skilled Benson.

Yes, but that wasn't the ? asked again.

Soft is more about an attitude.

If there's one knock on great28, he needs to drop the mittens for a teammate. Not necessarily be a face puncher, but if something cheap happens to dahlin when he's on the ice. He needs to seek and destroy, not wrestler and dance around. Actually be pissed. It's your superstar and brother.....

Dahlin is the total all around package.

Power is going to be a good defensman and a huge point producer.

Dahlin has always played with a little edge IMO.

Power wouldnt punk anyone at camp or in the nhl.
- Boss34

Dahlin has turned into the total package, but that wasn't the ?.

Thankfully they only got rid of Montour can you imagine if they dealt Dahling too because of Ralph

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. The same could be said about any of the kids. As much as people are impatient with where things are (NOT TRYING TO OPEN THAT CAN OF WORMS), it could have been 1,000 times worse.

Its confusing when you use the question mark , instead of writing question.

He was touted as the total package (including toughness)
Power was/is/will not be tough like dahlin. He's a cream puff in a big body. Very skilled offensively and hopefully defensively.

It's bad. Could be a lot worse. Bad is then good. Got it.

No, it really isn't, but I am not going to litigate that again.

I would say Power is going to be a great defenseman and a good point producer. Not sure he's a 65 point/year guy, but maybe consistently 50+

possibly do the long term deal next summer as well
- Lunaion

Bingo!
-Cap goes up significantly by comparison to last several years
-Presumptively his play improves being year 2, and playing g with a better partner
-sign 5 or 6 year deal, so he has another swing for another deal with term

That's interesting, I feel like power is going to get all the pp time ect., 3rd highest scoring team in the league, with an offensive minded head coach.

I think he gets 50-60 next year and is close to a ppg player in his prime.

I respect your opinion

- IndianaSabresFan

You know exactly what I mean

Having heart is a big deal

Derek plante
No heart

Nathan gerbe
All heart

Has to be in the equation

- IonSabres

Well, he'll be 5 years from UFA, so I wouldn't do 5 or 6.

Why would he want to bridge this summer?
- Lunaion

adams overpays

3 years 21 mil

then the big deal

dahlin had no problem with a bridge, and he was much better

21 mil for 87 nhl games is pretty good security if an injury happens
