Maybe we get a PC windows cover, like they stopped releasing in 2008.I mean, it's EA. That's what we're getting, unfortunately.
not looking like an extension this year
Not really a reason for Dahlin to sign one. He has all the leverage if he has another Norris caliber season this year. If Sabres do not meet his demand, he can sign a QO after next year and then go UFA
I do not see him signing for less than 12 if he has another Norris season

Why do you think that? The Dahlin extension is like the worst kept secret in Buffalo sports.

Because there is no reason for him to sign. He makes 2 mil more per year if he waits to sign until next year

I mean, yeah sure he could wait until next year. But it’s way too soon to be saying “not looking like an extension this year”. Afaik He’s only been able to sign an extension for just over a month now (July 1st). Training camp didn’t even start yet. How many players with 1 year to UFA have signed extensions yet (like Matthews, Nylander, Guentzel, etc)? How many prominent RFA’s next year have signed extensions so far this summer? Doesn’t seem like very many yet in either group.
Looking at when we have seen other young Sabres players sign their contract extensions:
Thompson signed Aug. 30th
Samuelsson signed in October.
Cozens didn’t sign his until February
I’d say it’s far too soon to say.
I don’t get why EA doesn’t change the model to a sports subscription service. You don’t buy a new game each year, you pay to play a game that is constantly tweaked and improved.I mean, it's EA. That's what we're getting, unfortunately.

Dahlin has a very good reason to sign an extension this summer: insurance against injury. The amount extra he could squeeze out by doing what you suggest is probably 1-1.5M a year maybe. When you're already going to be making 10M, I think the risk outweighs the benefit. Take the guaranteed deal and term.
There's been zero reports that the team and Dahlin are far away or anything. It'll happen, it's just a matter of when.
I think it can be 2-4M more per year if he bets on himself
If he puts up 100+ points and wins the Hart, Dahlin could even get a max contract as a RFA

Dahlin putting up 100 points and contending for the Hart is most certainly a reasonable scenario. Are you not seeing that from him?
