What?? Risto. is the only player with grit on the team and you want to trade him for another soft player, I went to the game how about teaching #9 to backcheck like Bergeron.

Risto was one of their best players last night and they have no one to replace him with

Need to score a goal tho

Prolly starts with bringing up nylander. Sobotka might be hurt. Granted housley will just slot in Elie instead.

Alexander Nylander? Because that looks weird when we're talking about a potential Nylander trade (which probably won't end up happening anyway).

One game guys

They do need to score a goal, but if they trade Risto, they will open up a massive hole, unless the plan is to trade for Nylander in your scenario and then acquire a defenseman by moving out another forward on the roster.

But if the Sabres trade Ristolainen, that is basically a bukkake to the Sabres blueline by our front office.

It's not just one game, it's the last 5 years.
