Dahlin becomes Sabres’ highest-paid player
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin skates with the puck during the second period of the team's NHL hockey game against the Carolina Hurricanes in Buffalo, N.Y., on Feb. 1.Sabres defenceman Rasmus Dahlin arrived in Buffalo from his native Sweden as a raw 18-year-old who could barely speak English, had little experience living away from home, and who was unprepared for the growing pains he’d face in maturing into a full-rounded player.
“We know we have a player in Rasmus Dahlin that we think will continue to get better for at least the next nine years,” Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams said. “And I think it sends a big statement to our team, our fans, of the commitment made, and what he means to this organization.” It’s a group made up of centres Tage Thompson, who last year signed seven-year, US$50-million contract, and Dylan Cozens and defenceman Mattias Samuelsson . And it’s expected to eventually include defenceman Owen Power, the first player drafted in 2021.
Upon arriving at training camp, Dahlin voiced his confidence in believing the Sabres are ready to become contenders by saying: “It’s go time. I mean, we don’t have excuses any more.” Overall, Dahlin’s 232 career points ranked ninth on the NHL list among defencemen before their 23rd birthday.
