An already important week for the Buffalo Sabres' long-term plans became even more paramount Wednesday with the club announcing they signed defenseman Owen Power to a seven-year extension.

Signing Power, 20, to a seven-year deal worth $8.35 million annually comes two days after the club announced they signed fellow defenseman Rasmus Dahlin to an eight-year pact worth $11 million annually. Both the Dahlin and Power contracts would start at the beginning of the 2024-25 season.
