Vancouver can keep Pettersson as far as I'm concerned. Sabres already have enough soft, overpaid, underperforming players who don't hit. Sabres need grit, get a guy like Mathieu Olivier or Tanner Jeannot. Having guys like that make everyone else play a meaner game, and that's what this team needs. I'd stick with Power for now unless the return is impossible to deny. He's only 22.
@@TheDarthmalstrom For 20 bazillion dollars, I'd sign with Buffalo. Of course, I'm old, can't skate very well, and couldn't score a goal if the net was as big as a barn door. Hey...other than the "old" part...I COULD play on the Sabres!
I know stinky Joe isn’t a big hockey guy more a RUclips guy but a little research shows that EP wasn’t signing his extension so the Canucks shopped him so he couldn’t just walk away for free like Sam and Matt Tkachuk.
If Byram agreed to stay id be okay with giving Power. Rather give Power than an extended Byram. I dont think Power has showed the potential Byram has imo.
can we get info on Pettersson's defensive and face-off numbers? Cozens has become weak. I remember when he would be willing to fight anyone and stick up for his team mates and you don't see that from him anymore. Powers problems can be fixed you just don't know if he will ever do it. He doesn't battle in front of the net let alone tie up a man, he doesn't hit, he can't shoot a one timer. But the first 2 are huge factors for a D-man. So, I'd say do it if you can get Myers and a 2nd/3rd round pick back as well. Be nice to get your thoughts on what the Sabres do to the D pairs if this were to happen.
Thats a lot of moves for one player. I like EP as a player but man do we realy want this? Over pay, over trade, mayb extra bonus money, move Tage to 2nd line? How does that work in the locker room? Is EP realy the magic guy that brings us play-off hockey or a starting piece we can build around in the next year? Fingers crossed!
Joe, I get what you're saying about the bonus but the Sabres know this already so if they are in it and want him that bad than they are willing to pay it. I prefer Byram, slightly better skater and I think he thinks the game faster. What I don't like about Power is he shows no emotion, I'd like to see him break a stick over the crossbar because a goal scored was his fault instead of putting his head down and skating to the bench
I would like to see is a opposing player just keep getting into Powers face, shift after shift. How would he handle it ? I would do it if I was a team mate
Why is every podcaster, youtuber, radio person, analyst in love with power? Dudes a pylon who constantly makes defensive mistakes. We dont need a defensemen that puts up points. Give up Power, sign Byram to powers contract. Give up cozens and power for petterson and one of their bigger more physical defensemen who can actually play some defense. Watching the Sabres score 3-4 goals a game and lose each game because they allowed 4-5 goals is super frustrating to watch. If you score 3-4 goals in a game you should be winning that game 75% of the time.
because of his potential..he is still a kid at 22 years old..most blueliners do not hit their stride till 25..what will Power become by then is the reason..giving up on a 22 year old kid cause he is developing is nuts to do
Honestly, my comment. Make the deal even if it costs a Byram/Power. This isn’t a matter of trying to rush something, this is a matter of getting a top line playmaking center for another 6-7 years. Who cares if his cap is 11-14 mill. He’s a player that will help now and in the future, as he will help bring a more winning atmosphere into this team, coming from one. He is also a player that will help the centre prospects that we have develop the way we need them to, and become better. Along with this, next season, regardless of anything, they were going to need to rely on one or two prospects coming up and making the jump to full time NHLer. Too many contracts and you can’t resign them all. Honestly my comment is, why is there a wait at all? Pull the trigger.
Buffalo’s rebuild is lasting forever. lol They’ve been scraping the bottom of the standings since Eichel. They need proven players at this point to mesh with their best drafted ones.
The Canucks aren’t going to settle for a 40 point player likeCozens. Doesn’t matter who you throw in, because Center is their focus. To get a player like this, you have to think the Canucks are targeting Thompson.
I am with you. I will only trade Power if Byram is signing with Buffalo. Yes he can sign a deal right now because he is an RFA in the summer so he can sign if there is a deal in front of him. If Byram is signed for 8 years. Send Cozens and Power for Pettersson.
Here’s why it would be Byram and not Power. Byram is set to become an RFA at the end of the season and will likely only sign a 1yr deal and hold out for UFA status the next season, where Power is locked up long term. If they trade away Power, they’re looking at having NEITHER of them at the end of next season. It’s a VERY shortsighted move if they do.
If I’m Vancouver I’m definitely trading for one or two of the young veterans on the Sabres. Cozens, Power? Both? Why not? They’ve never won their first Cup, and adding a good young Sabres veteran has become the last step needed for franchises to win their first championship over the past five years or so.
14 years ago... they also had Ryan Miller... UPL has reverted back to the goalie he was in the minors... and he's not good enough to carry Millers gear...Petterson for either power or Cozens 1 for 1 is lopsided... for both power and Cozens flipps things but still lopsided. If Pettey came with a top level prospect... I could do it.. really, Byrum vs Power I see them as pretty even... Power is younger... Bo is more established....
The Sabres are badly in need of a legitimate Number 1 center. They don't have one now. Tage Thompson is not a Number 1 center. He can't win faceoffs, he can't stickhandle and he can be rather irresponsible defensively in his own end. What he is is a winger with a howitzer for a shot. He should be getting into the "soft" areas in the O-zone to set up for one-time bazooka shots on goal. Seems that someone asked him what he played...he said "center"...and no one has bothered to tell him he's wrong. Hey, I'm not saying he's a next generation Brett Hull, but The Golden Brett scored a lot of his goals in that exact manner. If the Sabres played him as a wing, he could be an absolute terror to goalies. He just needs someone who can carry and dish the puck like a Number 1 center to set him up.
Yes let's trade a 22yr old defenseman because impatience. Everyone called for them to trade Dahlin and look what he's become but yes lets give up on Power so we can all kick ourselves when he becomes a Norris winner.
yup, the fans dont get when Power is 27-28 and filled out, experienced, groomed..what he could become..they look at a kid learning and just give up..and we all know blueliners take longer to develop..if we trade him with Cozens?? it will come back as potentially the worst trade in our history when we look back at it in like 5 years from now
Maybe Buffalo could reaquire Tyler Myers too, if canuck fans are lucky? Myers, with his sparkling 2 game-winning clutch assists in overtime this month.....oh wait....those for the other teams` goals don`t count, right?........
Goodbye owen power ..a big flake ..fyi EP is not a superstar ..he may think that when he in the dressung room and last year was benched as an under performer. Sabres have plenty of underperforming players
Any team taking Pettersson off of the Canucks' hands is doing them a favor. He is not worth the $11.6 million as he is not the 100-point player that is claimed by some (he did it once). Good player? Yes, but not quite elite. Also, I doubt that he would sign with Buffalo as he would probably prefer to test the FA market when the time comes. The return for Pettersson will not be what some believe unless the Canucks retain a significant amount of salary.
EP is not going anywhere unless there is a boatload coming back!. Keep dreaming ! Just check and see what our GM got for Bo Horvat from the Islanders. And EP is in a different league from Bo who was much older and not capable of 100 points. But at least you have a topic to fill up your shows!
What have Power and Cousins Done to make them Wanted ? What ?? Teams know that Buffalo has to Overpay for anyone !! Blame the Owner for Lame Choices for GM and Coach over all these years. I Love the Lindy Hiring,but it’s not enough. Adams as nice as he is, is not a Strong enough GM with Experience. We need Clout at this Position and haven’t had it in Years.
Pettersson is declining . I wouldn't be trading Power and Cozens for him. Maybe Power + Ostlund for Pettersson, Vancouver retains $3 million of P's contract.
@@thewolfdoctor761naw they don’t have to move anyone. They can just keep them both if there isn’t a really good offer. You think they are the first teammates who don’t get along!
Not happening. Im using a black sharpie not a pencil or pen. No thanks to EP & his contract & bonus structure. We need Sam Bennett or Zucker-ish type players. Soild veteran leadership in the locker room and on the ice.

I don't think the #Canucks would actually trade Pettersson!! But JT Miller! Absolutely because of his age! Plus if you read the reports that the #Canucks are looking for another top line center in return that's is from 20 to 28 and Cousins ain't a "Top Line Center" the Canucks would want Tage Thomson plus Byram and a pick

so...lets get another cream puff??..cause Pettersson is super soft and is one dimensional and this fanbase will turn on him inside of 10 games..and lets pay him more than any other Sabre in Buffalo Sabres history at an insane 11.6M per season..and at the same time give up way to soon on 2 major pieces in our rebuild in Power and Cozens?? ya, I could see the Sabres doing that in this era right about now lol
