Value of: Owen Power

[Fjordy]

Utah?

Could be interesting trading partners, but not sure for Power.

Power will never be as good as Dahlin, and he's worth so much more than Byram - it just makes the most sense for it to be him IMO. Obviously depends on the return. Gotta think a lot of teams would call and the return would be a good 'hockey trade'. Buffalo's depth chart needs a retool, and this would be a big one.

It's not even that he won't be as good as Dahlin, we need two PMDs in the top 4 anyway, but only two, the question is who to trade Power or Byram. We need to know if Byram wants to stay in Buffalo, if he's willing to be a second-pair guy, what kind of contract he's looking for. I'd listen to offers on both players and see what we can get.

There are a few posts about Power’s youth and that the Sabres need to be patient as he will get better, etc. and I am not arguing that but the Sabres cannot afford to be patient.

The playoff drought hangs over this franchise like a black cloud.

If he is playing like this next year, and there is little indication that he won’t, they will not make the playoffs again next season.

Power was proposed because of his salary, his potential but also because him playing 22 minutes a night hurts this team more than it helps them.

Jones for Power is a ridiculous offer, but Chicago definitely has the pieces for Power, its just that the mutual fit isn't there.

Then they simply don't have the pieces. Unless the would make Bedard available.

I could easily see the Jackets ponying up a big offer for Power but the contents would depend on what direction Buffalo wants to go. If they are looking for High Ceiling its probably around Lindstrom. If its current help i would expect it to be around Sillinger. Throw in our unprotected 1st and Proverov going back as well. I could see another young player like LDBB or even Chinakov as well, but I don't see the Jackets being willing to include guys like Fantilli, Marchenko, Vronk and KJ if that is what Buffalo demands.

Columbus isn’t trading what it would take and buffalo isn’t trading a 21 for futures/ magic beans.

By that standard, Buffalo doesn't have the pieces to land Bedard.

Is this a "value of: Bedard" thread?

Power for Mcavoy if the bruins decide to rebuild

By that standard, Buffalo doesn't have the pieces to land Bedard.

Not one they would trade, no. But that's not really the subject of this thread. Which is Owen Power.

Nobody, we don't need Miller and especially for Power. But if you want to talk about EP40, we can discuss it.

 

[KapG]

He's not getting better at defence I tell you that much.

Once again, he’s 21

You think a last place team is going to trade a 21 yr old former #1 pick for a 32 year old headcase?

Not happening.

I do not disagree with your statement above, but I am pretty sure you misread what I wrote. My take was that *if* Power were made available, his value would be deemed very high by some GMs in the league, despite him not m being a legitimate #1 D, *yet*. I believe someone would trade for his potential and pay a high price.

Ahh, yes there would be lots of interest.
