Im with ya 100%

If they knew power and dahlin were already their pocket im still confused by the offseason

Im not convinced they are a playoff lock this year

The Power contract would piss me off if I was Tage.
- Mentalorgasm5

He should be pissed at this own agent, not another player or their agent.

They have their cap #'s now which is big to make a good moves for the future.

Nows the time to make your trades and such. .
- DirtyDan

the only difference is they locked power and dahlin up long term, which was expected 4 months ago

The Sanderson deal
- TheSabresTaco

Basically the going rate. Which is fine.

stop


you will be outcasted if you say this

Because it only buys 2 UFA years. I think the 8th was important.

I like it, don't make too much out of my initial reaction.
- Lunaion

Truly nitpicking with the above.

The deal will be bargain by the end of the upcoming season.

I'm in shock he signed it.

So much for a $5M bridge 😅🤣

8 years vs 7

EJ is a veteran upgrade on d and a winner / experienced defensemen

Clifton will be a 2nd or 3rd pairing d. My buddy who is a bruins fan loved him.


Upgraded the defense big time

I want to be wrong

They should be going for it already

8 years vs 7
- homiedclown

Their window will be closed by then so who cares

Dang it Adams. He sucks

Was it? No one knew whether Power was bridging like Dahlin or what. Cap goes next year apparently. They didn't get word on that till like last week. Nothing happend this summer.

I'm fine with the offseason.

Actually, you’re an outcast if you’re not a total fraud of a fan.

- Sabretooth9

Ill believe it when I see it

EJ has never played 82 and Clifton is a question mark as to where he really slots in. Nothing in his career suggests he is a 2nd pair dman

The team as a whole playing a 200ft game will make a bigger difference than those 2 will

Wonder if an 8x9m was ever on the table, and who said no.

Why not have a positive outlook on the eve of the season?

Probably was but then seravalli tweeted his comparison of the two d-men and after dahlin got 11, there was no way power could sign for 9.

Stole Benson at 13
Extended Dahlin and Power long term.

Take a bow GMKA.
- Swedish_Jesus

It is nice knowing all our horses are here longterm. All at good term through their whole prime

Their window will be closed by then so who cares
- Michael Ghofrani

Don't worry there's no windows in buffalo

Actually, you’re an outcast if you’re not a total fraud of a fan.
- Hatboro_Swords

Oh my

Joker, UPL, Mitts
Levi, Quinn, JJ, Krebs

Maybe you don't go long term on any immediately.
- Lunaion

Why would any of the players listed above merit a long term deal?

Overall, the core has been set.

All the rest are ultimately expendable.

I would have loved 8x9m.

We have a 7 year window.

What a time to be alive.

All in all despite my criticism of the offseason i am excited for sabres hockey to start up

Part of the reason I am critical is because I have experienced excitement which turned to expectation for the first time since myers rookie season

They are my favorite team of my favorite sport and it feels good to care again
