21-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

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.
