Ristolainen is not very good at hockey
Thank you for your comment. He does eat up a lot of minutes, he does provide decent offensive numbers, he is right handed, and he is VERY weak in his own end, but neither is Krug from what I understand

TROLLING
Sort of, I thought 1) that the Bruins window is closing, 2) Krug is a possible trade candidate, 3) Ristolainen balances the RHD with the LHD, 4) Pominville would give the Bruins good RW who is very responsible in the defensive zone. I was wondering what the reaction would be to this trade. It appears both Bruin and Sabre fans hate it. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for responding, so is this trash for the Bruins or trash for the Sabres.

Why would buffalo do this? Trade a winger who’s playing quite well and arguably their top dman for Krug? It could even be argued that they lose a trade of just Risto for Krug
Thank you for your comment, Krug's offense is a bit better than Ristolainen's and Pominville is a UFA, you did notice that this was a dead line deal..

i see no balance just a waeker lhd just NO
Thank you for your comment, Krug's offense is a bit better than Ristolainen's.
Thank you all for your comments. So both Bruins and Sabre fans say no. IMO, this could work really well for both teams. Boston fills two needs a RHD and top 6 RW and Buffalo gets a very good offensive defenseman (among top 10 NHL scoring defensemen the past 2 seasons). But I will succumb to the consensus and presume this is a bad deal.
