Value of: Owen Power

[Howie Hodge]

Trading Powers is not a quick fix here.

The failings of this team is not all on the players, but rather incompetant Management to find The Right mix of players. If Powers had, say Radko Gudas skating next thim, he'd be braver.

And Powers will improve defensively once he grows into his height - hopefully.

Again, if someone makes an offer that we can't refuse, no one is untouchable. Not happening in today's NHL.

Seems like a luxury to have Dahlin, Power, and Byram. With the holes they have in the lineup one needs to go. Dahlin isn't going anywhere so it comes down to the other two. Power probably has the most trade value. Could get a good forward for him.

 

[TageGod]

Byram was just worth a top 6 C in Mitts (at the time). Power has more value. It is a top line player or Power stays.

This can't be... A Buffalo fan just told me a few weeks ago that he's already better than Mo Seider!

Are you ok? Seems to have had a lasting affect on you.

The lie detector determined it was a lie.

Ok .. A Detroit fan said he wouldn't trade ASP for McDavid...

Don't see me busting in on Red Wing threads laying snark for no reason.

You will be ok.

Maybe this partner will beat him up during training. You need to provoke him. Turn off the lights in the house, throw a couple of eggs at the car, this will awaken the beast in him and he will go on a rampage.

Doubt it. I feel like if I saw Power walking down the street, I could demand his wallet with just a stern voice and he would give it to me with no hesitation.

Who knows what's hidden behind the curtain, at least you can check.

hurts to see a Wings fan made this



still wouldnt do it

See above.

Moving on.

Fair play that it apparently was said, but considering that guy also said this:

ASP is the best defenseman in the world but since he's not in the NHL, baby I guess

I figure we can distinguish somebody who's being completely batshit insane from a guy who is seriously suggesting that Power is better than Seider.

 

[tabness]

don't bring me into your guys shit lol im just here to fanboy for ASP

How do we differentiate who is or is not sane? But if you want to hold on to a singular outlier, sure. Outliers happen. It's pretty easy to ignore them.

I feel the same way. And afterward he'll go home and pray for you.

Haha; granted, it won't make him Chris Pronger!

But it would help.

What would it take from Blackhawks to acquire Powers? Just curious if Sabres are looking for picks/prospects or more veteran types? Blackhawks could make something around Korchinski/Toronto 2025 21st and vet like Connor Murphy at 50% retained.

The Sabres need to get better and futures doesn't do that. They've got too many of those anyway. There is only one player on the Blackhawks that would be attractive I'd say and that's the one guy the Blackhawks will not be trading.

fair enough

 

[RedHawkDown]

Buyer beware on this guy man. Every single BUF game I've seen he looks truly lost out there.

 

[5 Minute Major]

I know some Sabre fans will be against trading

That’s all I needed to read. As a Sabres fan I will listen to offers for anyone on the roster.

Could do the old PK for Weber trick and trade Power for Seth Jones. Would let Power be the #1 in Chicago with Bedard and Seth Jones can finally stop pretending he's a #1 dman.

Hell no. Jones is terrible, probably washed. Blackhawks don't have the pieces for Power, even though he'd probably be a good fit there.
