> Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power will both be eligible for extensions this offseason. The Sabres will certainly be proactive with those players. Dahlin put himself in the Norris Trophy conversation with the way he played this season. Power has a chance to win the Calder as rookie of the year and already looks like a fixture on Buffalo’s top two defensive pairs. The sooner the Sabres get those players locked up, the better. Dahlin could command $10 million per year, and Power already has a case to be paid north of $7 million per season. Those prices are likely only going to go up the more those two play.
No idea where Fairburn is getting those numbers but if Adams can lock up Dahlin and Power long term for less than $18M they need to do that now.
