I would shit my pants daily for a month just for some good news for a change
Silver lining: We’re right at the off-season anyway, games missed won’t be that bad. And now Adams will be forced to address an area that was probably in the “answer is in the room” bucket. Go trade for or land a UFA defenseman, then it’ll be a bonus when Power comes back.
This means Adams is gonna sign byram for sure now lol
Clearest ACL tear I’ve ever seen
Hat Salesman Chad now moonlighting as a medical insider?
Adams really bet the farm on this guy specifically being a high end second pair D next year. He’s not coming back from an injury like this until end of the year/year after and it’s gonna hurt one of the things he was genuinely pretty good at for longer than that.
I guess plan A is win the lotto and draft another D first overall?
The “owen power is terrible” crowd has fucked around and is about to find out.
Place him on LTIR and use the money plus cap to sign Ekbald, Pionk, Boeser or Nelson?? We need D to help out Dahlin and Byrum, and a center, drafting isn’t working…
Adams just got his excuse for year 15
A silver lining could be Adams has no choice now but to get a top 4 d man. The bad news tho is he’s gonna be dumb and give Byram a big contract…
This is such bullshit statement. Just tell if he tore ACL/MCL or not . In NBA they disclose every single details, and noone complains.
Only possible upside to this is a smart GM could plan on spending like $30M on the back end next season because we can simply LTIR power if it’s worst case scenario. Then we could end up with a situation where he comes back late next year giving us a truly stacked defense core in the short term.
Unfortunately we do not have a good GM who cares about winning so we’re only gonna resign Byram, not get a longterm power partner, and sign another free agent 5-7D for one year.
Excuses begin for 15 year drought now
Holy speculation Batman. Why does the NHL report injuries like this. Horribly frustrating.
Until I’ve heard he had surgery, and what exactly that was, I’m not believing shit from these worthless reports.
See you in October 2026 Owen
Perfectly vague.
Should I get ready for a Quinn-esk regression for an entire season before Power is back to his old self? These injuries for players getting ready to really make the next jump is a fucking death sentence for this team. An offseason of recovering instead of training is going to really set Power back. I’m hoping for him that it isn’t as bad as it sounds.
If this does wind up being significant, I bet they still lie about it so they can dupe a few STH holders.
To me it looked like a torn knee ligament. If it’s an ACL, that’s a 6-9month injury for most athletes.
Team will improve without Owen noPower
Power was a liability against the Blue Jackets and Panthers. He needs time off to reflect on consequences.
Can we send bettman an edible arrangement so he gets the sabres the #1 pick?
