22-Year-Old DefensemanD
Buffalo Sabres
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Although Power was taken with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, he's more of a two-way defenseman rather than an offensive blueliner, and he consequently doesn't have the same level of fantasy appeal as other top picks. That's especially true in Buffalo, where Power's power-play ice time is limited by the presence of defensemen Rasmus Dahlin and Bowen Byram. The 21-year-old Power is still good for 30-40 points, though, and he's also likely to block over 100 shots for the second straight campaign. Just don't expect him to see a massive jump in offensive production during his third full NHL season. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a seven-year, $58.45 million contract with the Sabres in October of 2023.
Assists in consecutive contests
DBuffalo Sabres
March 30, 2025
Power logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Flyers.
ANALYSIS
Power has three helpers over six games since his three-point effort in Boston on March 17. The 22-year-old defenseman continues to chip in decent offense in a top-four role after shaking off a slump in early March. For the season, he's at a career-high 38 points with 131 shots on net, 103 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 72 appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Power entered his first full season in the NHL amid the high expectations that come with being a No. 1 overall pick, and he played well under that pressure, recording four goals, 35 points, a plus-10 rating, 27 hits and 86 blocked shots in 79 contests while averaging 23:48 of ice time. Power still has plenty of growing to do, but that's a point of optimism rather than condemnation when discussing a defenseman who is just 20 years old. He's a lock to serve in a top-four spot, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him push past the 40-point mark in 2023-24. The only limiting factor is the presence of Rasmus Dahlin, which might keep Power off the top power-play unit most nights.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft, Power completed his sophomore season at the University of Michigan before stepping right into the Sabres' lineup in mid-April. He played the final eight games for the club, posting two goals and three points while averaging 22:05 of ice time per game. Power is a legitimate two-way horse who should be an impact player in all three zones, perhaps as soon as this coming year. He may never post more than 40-plus points in any single season, but the all-around package here should be enough for Power to carve out some fantasy value, especially as Buffalo improves as a team in coming seasons.
