Description

Just spitballing here.

Buffalo wants to win. Eichel wants to win. They need to retool.

I have seen Tierney to Buffalo for Miller/Montour. Risto is better than those two, but the general D for Tierney trade is what im looking at. Risto has been rumoured on the block for a while and he carries a moderate cap hit.

Okposo is a ****ing anchor. 3 more years @ 6M. Buffalo and Toronto paid firsts to get rid of 1 year @ 6M.

Hutton is old and bad. Nilson is aging, but he is better and a touch cheaper. He is also swedish for a Swedish goalie tandem for Buffalo with Linus.

Mike Reilly is a warm body to fill the spot for Buffalo, they can shift him and recoup a bit of value

Buffalo gives up the 8OA for 15OA, and the 38OA for the 45OA

-----------------------------------

Obviously this many pieces make the trade unrealistic, but how does the community feel value wise?

This helps Ottawa reach the floor, this helps Buffalo make a UFA swing on players like Hall/Pietrangelo.

Buffalo can retool without losing their 1st or 2nd.

I would just do Risto for Tierney and be okay as a Buffalo fan.

Im surprised to hear it, but I would do it.

I like the fact he is locked into 2 years. I thought buffalo fans ranked Risto > Miller > Montour

I hate this so much.

Ristolainen is easily the least appealing of the three RHD in Buffalo. He's a good hand on the PP, but he's a very weak defender, which is terrible for Ottawa. Sens have options for the power play on the Blueline (Chabot, Wolanin, Brannstrom) what they need is defensive stability.

Okposo is terrible and they don't need his money to hit the floor. I'm not a fan of adding a big term (3+ years) contract at this stage.

Swapping Nilsson for Hutton is a really really bad idea. Hogberg needs a goalie he can lean on next year. He's not ready for a 50+ game workload, and Hutton is not a goalie who can take those starts away.

If you want their 2020 first you're going to have to do a lot better than Nilsson and Reilly, Okposo is still useful to Buffalo and I have 0 need to give up on Hutton, so they arent justifiable enough cap dumps to even come close. Its workable, but the Sabres are in need of that top 7 pick more than anything else, and a middle 6 center isnt going to change that

Depends most will say Montour > Miller > Risto. Montour is the easiest to trade though
