The Daily: Does Sanderson Pact Set Bar For Young D Like Seider & Power? Former Red Wings D Bowey Moving to KHL
By giving defenseman Jake Sanderson an eight-year deal worth $64.4 million, have the Ottawa Senators set a bar for their Atlantic Division rivals the Detroit Red Wings and Buffalo Sabres?
Detroit Hockey Now’s Kevin Allen discussed how the Sanderson pact could be impacting the upcoming contract negotiations between the Red Wings and 2021-22 Calder Trophy winner Moritz Seider. The German defender will be a restricted free agent at the end of the 2023-24 NHL season if an extension isn’t in place prior to then.

Meanwhile, Mike Augello of Buffalo Hockey Now was looking at a similar scenario involving young Buffalo Sabres defenseman Owen Power. The Sabres have two years before the entry-level contract of 2022-23 Calder finalist Power is set to expire.
