Anyone who watches Power will clearly see how passive he is in his own end. He's really bad when he has any pressure at all. He really has a ton of growing up to do for the NHL game. Not that the coaches aren't trying, but he really appears to be a slow learner. Nice guy, but paid way too early in hopes of developing quickly. We would do better with Benson on dee actually lmao. Now Benson is amazing! Smallest guy on the ice with the most energy and the biggest heart. FEARLESS
It suck’s but you have to be patient with a young 6-6, mobile defensemen. The mistake was not doing a nice bridge deal for him. If you decide to trade him you are gonna come to regret it.
Respectfully, Owen power was drafted 1st overall, and got paid like it. He shouldn’t need a dad to pair with. There is a highlight reel of 100 goals against with Power having a dumb look on his face looking at the man he should’ve checked. He hasn’t missed one game in 200 due to injury because he has never touched another human. On MOST of our wimpy kids who make us lose. I would agree. Not the giant man who plays weak.
Respectfully, even Rasmus Dahlin had aged veterans around him with the youngest guy he played with being 6 years older then him when he played. Most minutes being the guy who spent 10 years in the league. He had Brandon Montour, Casey Nelson and Colin Miller around him, with Zach Bogosian and Rasmus Ristolainen around him when he was in his first year. Bogosian and Dahlin had a total of 600 minutes together. Quality of veterans around him ignored, he was around guys who had been in the league for a minimum of 6 years and average of 300 games and average age difference between the players he was playing with is 8. Power's oldest guy when he first started was Ilya Lybushkin, of which he had just over 100 minutes with. The youngest 2 he had when he was 19/20 were Mattias Samuelsson at the age of 21/22 what was essentially his second season with him and Henri Jokiharju who was 22/23 with him. And those two were who he spent the most minutes with. Samuelsson being over 600 and Jokiharju being over 700 in his first actual season. The average experience within the NHL with Power was 200 games and average age difference with the player is 4 years. Yes there are a lot of problems with how Power plays, but this is a bit of a problem here. Part of the final part of developing your top talent is to help put them into a position so they can adjust into the league. Cause regardless of where you're coming from, it's always going to be a big jump, and having the experience and age around your top talent helps do this. And quite frankly I think they've failed Dahlin, Cozens, Eichel and Reinhart for similar reasons.
He plays soft, but the Sabres having the worst PP & trying to play perimiter hockey has been the worst part of this slide. Watch them next time you will see how they know they are covered and not move to open themselves up or create an opportunity. They are top 10 in the league for Offensive zone time, but poorly utilize it.
Power's always been overrated. This is exactly what I expected he'd become when he was a prospect. He's always been a strong offensive player who is a great passer and really good transitioning the puck up the ice. He's also always been very lackluster defensively but his defensive was overrated cause he's 6 foot 6 every time he steps foot on the ice
Also I missed a spot. Owen has played 200 games. Lindy Ruff in the last 30 of them in no way is coaching him to let passes across on 2 on 1s and never take a body ever. Maybe he makes the Hall of Fame when he plays for another team. But I’m not blaming the Sabres for the fact that he stinks on the Sabres now. Other players yes. Him no.
The problem with the team is that all of the “core” players aren’t playing to their potential. Quinn and Cozens have been horrible. Peterka and Power have both taken steps backwards when we needed them to really take a step forward. Thompson is a turn over machine and simply just not a number one center. The Sabres best players have been McLeod, Benson, and Zucker which are all bottom 6 players.
If the sabres had a hallway competent GM, Power would have spent a year or two in Rochester along with other players. Number of AHL games: Power - 0 Cozens - 0 Benson - 0 Dahlin - 0 Samuelson - 45 Paterka - 70 Quinn - 60 Even Levi went right to the NHL
I've said it once I'll say it again. The Buffalo Sabres have been the best professional NHL hockey team, bar none. I mean the best NHL team that supplies top notch players to other NHL teams so that they can help that team win the Stanley Cup.
Another problem with power is that he spends too much time on the ice. He doesn't understand when to come off the ice, and he gets tired and trapped. Top 3 d-men average 24, 23, and 22 minutes. Over the game, they're going up against fresher opponents.
power should never be killing penalties...not only that, they fire granato but keep his assistant coach who happens to be the defensive coach...why wouldn't they bring in an ex NHL defenseman to teach/coach these young guys? it's a head scratcher. Adam's had zero experience as a GM and this is a job that you can't learn on the fly...a lot the blame should be put on Pegula...
Kevin Adams is way out of his depth. He makes pathetic excuses for players not signing. He also offers young guys huge contracts off the back of a half decent season. Nothing will change whilst he's at the helm.
Adams blew it again getting rid of Mitts and Skinny and doing nothing. Should have kept Skinny around one more year. Sabres sinking and again Adams does nothing. Missed it by one point a couple years ago bc Adams did nothing. Terry has everyone on a leash it’s a gd joke.

He’s like Nathan Gerbe combined with Tyler Ennis with a touch of Marchand

Powers is just not a bad man. No true grit. Not a hockey monster

He'll be fine. He's never been a defensive defender, his offensive underlyings are fine. His defense can be developed.
The problem with the team is that all of the “core” players aren’t playing to their potential. Quinn and Cozens have been horrible. Peterka and Power have both taken steps backwards when we needed them to really take a step forward. Thompson is a turn over machine and simply just not a number one center.

Dude does not hit.

Dahlin was the same way. Power will get better but needs support
Another problem with power is that he spends too much time on the ice. He doesn't understand when to come off the ice, and he gets tired and trapped. Top 3 d-men average 24, 23, and 22 minutes. Over the game, they're going up against fresher opponents.

Wow love the set guys, looks amazing!
I would love to know who was the player Adams said they were trying so hard to get during summer but failed.
Rumored to be Marty Necas
