Sabres lock up top young defensemen Dahlin and Power to lucrative long-term deals

The Buffalo Sabres signed Rasmus Dahlin to a 7-year, $70 million contract extension on October 9, 2023.
Just three days later, the Sabres signed 2021 first overall pick Owen Power to a 7-year, $58.45 million extension.
Dahlin and Power represent the Sabres' young defensive core and hopes for ending their 12-year playoff drought.
Power led all rookie NHL defensemen in scoring last season and is known for his strong skating ability.
The deals suggest the Sabres are confident in building around Dahlin and Power for the long-term future.
