<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>The problem isn't his offense, it's that he doesn't do any of the stuff you listed, but he gets all the credit for the work of whatever pair he's on. Like for some reason, its impossible for Sabres fans (not saying you just generalizing a sample on say twitter) to attribute defensive work to Power, because he doesnt hit. Or Dahlin, because he turns the puck over a lot. But in game, he's consistently torched for speed by the opposing teams top players. And his skill with the puck is unfortunately abysmal. I don't even mean offensively, like the puck skills you'd want a defensive d-man to have (stretch pass, d to d etc.) . Dahlin's expected goals against per 60 both last year and this year were noticeably better with Jokiharju than Samuelsson. Which doesn't say much other than it's pretty clear that the top pair will go as far as Dahlin takes it, regardless of the perceived reputation his partner has.

There are probably little things he does well but not enough to make up for everything else and not enough to warrant his cap hit. Smart teams are able to add defense only players pretty regularly at bargain prices through free agency or trade. Dedicating a long term contract to one never made any sense and if they can find someone who would take him off their hands, and send someone/thing helpful back, that would be very ideal.</div></div>

Idk who writes these scouting reports but I'm not the only one who sees his value.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pocke</b></div><div>It's just the caliber of prospect he is. He was drafted 6OA, had an absolutely outstanding D+1 and has had flashes of an insane ceiling in the NHL in his D+2.

His defensive numbers on CBJ are good and his scoring output is similar to Power's with 0.92 points/60 against Power's 1.01 Points/60.

Here are some hand-tracked metrics that are important for defensemen. First, both are already excellent puck movers.

Second, Jiricek is a fantastic neutral zone defenseman whereas Power is more absorb focused.

In terms of HockeyViz's predictive analytics, they both grade out quite similarly.

Interesting charts and I see what point you are making. However I'll just point out something you already know. Jiricek has 40 career NHL games under his belt with an average TOI of 15:07. Power has 138 career games with an average TOI of 23:12. That's a significant difference in sample size and playing time. I'm not disagreeing that Jiricek is a very valuable prospect or that his ceiling isn't high. But to suggest that it would cost Cozens or Power is what I disagreed with.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>squashmaple</b></div><div>You cannot possibly be this dumb, but I guess your username does imply that numbers and charts scare you. SkyRaider claimed that Jiricek wasn’t worth anything and pocke very clearly demonstrated that that was incorrect because the numbers show he is comparable to Power despite Power being a lofty first overall and Jiricek being clearly much less than that (even though weirdly your whole fanbase on this website is desperate to acquire him). Power is just older and came into a team with no one ahead of him at his position since he and Dahlin can both play both sides.</div></div>

You can read my above comment if you'd like to know what I was actually saying ☺

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>How much for Alex Tuch?</div></div>

Not available but his value is equivalent to 3 1sts I'd guess

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fail4Nail</b></div><div>I think Andersson is good, but I think you can get a better RH dman if you're offering that much.</div></div>

Like whom? Andersson is a beast he's exactly what we could use in the top 4

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>The value here is probably close on all of it but like none of those guys are getting moved for a combo of NTC and team timeline (Andersson is probably Calgary’s next captain)

The Sabres need to stockpile some picks and start adding some high upside d-men, like buium or parekh. The trade route isn’t viable for them and free agency seldom bears fruit</div></div>

Plenty of targets that meet our needs that don't have NTC. Agree we need to draft high level D men but that doesn't help the team for many years and we need to be improving the NHL roster right now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrakBirds23</b></div><div>There's not really much incentive for Seattle to trade players with term for players in contract years. The pieces could have more potential but overall trade looks really lopsided in Buffalo's favor.</div></div>

Gourde, Tanev, and Borgen are both UFAs after 2024-2025 they don't have term. All three players I traded to them are younger, team controlled (RFAs), and have higher ceilings. No way Seattle would decline that lol
