10:59 you say its a bargain
11:00 - its a good deal
11:02 - .5 over



All his comps have playoff and Stanley cup experience prior to signing monster deals.

You’re such a crybaby, what a glorious day to be a Sabres fan

Overpaying a Norris Candidate by 500K a year to have him under contract for the next 9 seasons is being bent over the table ?

Is the shtick going to get old eventually ? Common my guy it’s been months on end of this, surely therapy can’t be that expensive for a guy who lives in the big city

Revolutionary GMing

Like the 8 years. Did what they had to do, no complaints.

Let's not call it a bargain with comps in the 9-9.5 range. This one is in no way team friendly.

Good post

I’m excited for Thursday and the next 8 years

Dahlin is the 7th highest paid nhl player I believe

I’m good with it

They are paying Dahlin full market value on a max term deal.

Bargain? How?

Also upped the market for Power, as #1 OA D.

Could have been 12 million

Used the $ they saved on tage and cozens

Aren’t you thrilled as a Sabres fan?

I had him at 10.5 or so

Power puff isn’t dahlin

Power had his rookie season in the league while Dahlin has had multiple seasons.

They are not comparable based on their NHL experience levels.

Lot's of money locked up for a core with 0 playoff experience. Let's see how this plays out...

Yeah, it's a little worrisome, but time will tell. Would you have traded Dahlin over giving him the big check ooc?

You have Power at 10.5m? Little higher than I'd like, but the market might be there next summer.

Power isn’t dahlin, not even close

Power signs the unconventional 3 year 6.5 per imo

How was London and the game, aside from the result?

Unconventional, when Dahlin is coming off that same deal...?

In about the same amount of games played and Dahlin being a year younger at that point. They are separated by 6pts in scoring and Power is blowing Dahlin's Total Icetime out by 3 min a night. Give Power another year and that contract could get very interesting.

I just explained why a 4x7m makes sense. What's unconventional about that?

im a little curious if kevo was waiting for the projected cap increases from the owners meeting was before he signed dal.

also, he mentioned "next few weeks" in his training camp presser. so this to me was kind of expected. i assume theyll get power too.

also, i told you it was 8 years.

Missed your post

You said dahlin 3 year deal was not a usual type deal, now 4 isn’t unconventional?

3x5-6 gets him paid for work not yet performed and gives him an almost max amount of time under team control. 31 years old until ufa.

I think his deal is a lot easier. With 5 years to UFA, only an 8 year long term deal makes sense.

8.5 is the bare minimum. 9.5 is probably the max. 8x9.25m sounds good to me.

- QuinnFan

Probably not, depends how the negotiations went. If he stuck to this and wouldn't budge while I'm publicly preaching vibes and want to be here, this contract doesn't help that.

Dahlin is obviously a top talent in the game, he is not Cale Makar. To me this puts the vibes train back in the yard for maintenance, this was a for him contract (more power to him).

If they do get Power to sign a 4 year bridge at a $7M AAV, it had better be go time, big time as soon as he signs it, as they should be maximizing the bargain that deal will almost immediately be against their cap.

In other words, stop slow playing poop.

The 20 year old defenseman that can’t play physical or actually play defense despite his giant range, is gonna outplay a contract ?


Good one

- TheSabresTaco

He's in a slightly different situation, with a potentially exploding cap.

As a first overall defenseman, $5M would shock me.

Can't play D? Are you daft?
