Yes, Jokiharju is playing good hockey. Hanilin is LHD, means Power would have to go to RHD to play with him. And there is a reason Dahlin switched, Power is playing with natural RHD. So, I am not sure if Hanifin - Power would be better pair than Power - Jokiharju.

maybe an upgrade??? Joki playing great??? this websites lack of hockey knowledge amazes me
Yup, "lack of hockey knowledge" fits your comment perfectly.
While it is early in the season, ONLY Power has a better +/- and only Dahlin has more assists among the Sabre Defensemen than Henri.
He achieved those stats while having the lowest OZ% among Sabre defensemen and ONLY getting 0:06 PPTOI/GM
Hanifin on the other hand is a LHD, plays 2:52 PPTOI/GM and has one less pt than Jokihaju while Henri is +4 and Noah is -7.
Furthermore, Noah is two years older at double the salary.
Now go ahead and make your case that Buffalo should give up a first, a decent prospect (3 goals and 5 pts in 5 AHL games as a 20 yo) while weakening their Right side defense.
It would be difficult to make a case that Noah is an upgrade actually.
