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

How will the college prospects feel about this?

What could this possibly have to do with college prospects?

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.

- Boss34

OK he was touted, still doesn't mean he brought it out the 1st few seasons, especially like we see know. Not trying to say they will be anything alike in the physical part, but as the ? Was asked will Power ever turn into that over time. Once Power matures and grows into that body he won't have to throw hits just stick that big butt out and that will do plenty.

The discussion is around the 2nd contract that a guy gets. It doesn't matter where the guy came from.

Power might not have been the most physical D, but also don't recall him ever getting targeted or bullied. Dahlin is still dealing with that.

Power is just big, he has a Brett Murray frame just taller, once he fills out he gonna be a handful, players will just bounce of him once his core has developed fully.

You know what is gonna be a huge thing for Power that Dahlin never had. A guy that will watch your back. If Clifton can keep up with Power, Power won't have to deal with half the dirty poop Dahlin did as Girgensons was skating away. Clifton will allow Power the freedom to just play and learn the game. Be huge in Powers development.

Please stop using the "?" Mark, it's hard to follow along as it is.

Dahlin was touted as a complete player. He came in and was young but gritty to some degree. Stick his face into situations. He's evolved and now is older and tougher.

He had that in him from the beginning.
Power doesnt have that.

All nhl superstars get bullied and targeted.

Dahlin is a superstar, power a tall rookie prospect.

You must be a blond or you just didn't comprehend what was said! It has nothing to do what was said on a Scouting Report. And stop acting stupid its hard to follow along. Yes he evolved, can Power evolve as he matures.

Been an issue for Dahlin his entire time here. How many big hits did Power take last year?

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

I love how your heart example couldn’t make it in the nhl.

Wait, Nathan Gerbe didn't make it in the NHL? He scored 151 points over 435 games over 11 years while earning over $12M. Was he a star? No, but he certainly "made it".
