The Buffalo Sabres have signed defenseman Owen Power to a seven-year, $58.45 million contract extension, the team announced on Wednesday night. The deal is worth an average annual value of $8.35 million.
This is a second monster signing in Buffalo in the past few days as defenseman Rasmus Dahlin signed an eight-year deal on the heels of a terrific 2022-23 campaign. The deal carries an average annual value of $11 million beginning in the 2024-25 season, which will tie him with Los Angeles Kings’ Drew Doughty as the second-highest-paid blue liner in the league.
The Sabres now have five core players under the age of 26 on long-term contracts. In addition to Dahlin and Power, forwards Tage Thompson and Dylan Cozens and defenseman Mattias Samuelsson all signed seven-year extensions last season.
Power recorded four goals and added 31 assists in 79 games last season for the Sabres. And a monster deal on Wednesday night.
