Description
BUFFALO DEAL:
What say you, Buffalo? Would a Freddy for Risto framework make sense? I'm not sure I like it myself but it buys you another year to nurture UPL without committing starters $$ to Ullmark. Could also leave Ullmark out of the deal and Leafs hunt a G in free agency instead.
--------------
CAROLINA DEAL:
Maybe those 2 seconds need to be the 15th overall this year for the Pesce deal. Or maybe that one is way off all together. I thought Lilly would be a top RHD prospect they could have in the system and ready to go for next year if they let Dougie walk.

Carolina laugh hard. They counter with McKeown, Foegele and 2 2nds for Nylander, because that's roughly what you're giving.

Risto was the Green Jacket Winner a couple of seasons ago for being the worst defenseman in the league. He's another offensive minded guy that can't defend. Sure he can hit, and hits hard, and might spark the Leafs into sticking up for one another, but to lose your Starter, a solid 3C and a #4-5 defenseman to get Risto and a backup goalie isn't something that I'd personally sign up for..

Also for the Canes deal, it doesn't matter what you throw in. Everyone on the site wants Nylander+ for Pesce

I personally disagree...and that's fine, to each their own.

If the offer changes from the two 2nds to the 15th OA like the description suggests...you're looking at a top 6 young winger, top prospect and solid 1st rounder which it a very respectable haul for a very good defensive d-man.

If Andersen had more term than I think it would be a great idea on a sabres perspective. But they probably can’t take that risk because they have Dahlin to pay next offseason. And I doubt UPL will be ready for the NHL in the 2021-2022 season I’m hoping he develops quickly like Carter Hart.

Completely fair comments all around. It seems like kyle is shopping all three of Freddy, Kerfoot and Dermott. I love Freddy but they must know his # to re-sign is more than they can afford and it's a buyer's market on goaltending this offseason. My guess is Kyle doesn't want to have anyone over $3m on the bottom 6 given how much is spent on the top 6....and Dermott I also like...but with Muzz locked in and Sandin looking capable of taking on 3rd pairing minutes, he's expendable vs trying to jam in on the right side.

I'd personally rather see them land a top 4 RHD man versus a handful of 2nd-4th round picks. Risto definitely has his warts but that's what also makes him potentially available....and I'm thinking having guys like him and Perry give us the serviceable a-holes we could use in the playoffs.

Just my 2 cents. Certainly not the best d-man they can target, but a fit could be there.
