Owen Power, D

Buffalo Bills Equivalent: Tremaine Edmunds, LB

Power is the hottest commodity in the eyes in some of the Buffalo Sabres faithful. And I wanted to compare him to another upstart player on the Buffalo Bills who was also a first round draft pick. Edmunds was just 19 years old (turned 20 on May 2nd, 2018) when the Bills drafted him, the second 19-year-old drafted in NFL history.

Power made his NHL debut at 19, and like Edmunds, he impressed from the get-go. Edmunds has since earned two Pro Bowl appearances, and Power can be on his way to earning annual trips to the NHL All-Star Game in his future.

Another reason I compared Edmunds to Power is the fact that they both possess sheer size. Power stands at 6’6 and is still growing into his frame while Edmunds is 6’5; tall for an inside linebacker.

And just as Edmunds has become a fixture on the Bills defense, I fully expect Power to become a staple in the Sabres defensive rotation. It’s going to be fun to watch these two play in their respective games this season.
