Seems reasonable. I couldn’t fathom having Ristolainen that low, but I only watch a half dozen Sabres games all year (and a dozen Rochester games, being as much an AHL fan based in TO as a NHL fan).

Always hard comparing Fwds & D-Men, even Centres & Wingers can be tricky. Gotta consider special teams and ToI and all that.

I’d say the Top 5 is pretty unassailable (the Montour trade was sublime - as I have been hoping the Leafs would make a play for him for well over 2 years - guess that ship sailed). After that, I would go as follows. Also added select Americans who’ve impressed me when I’ve seen them.

Overall, the Sabres organization has an abundance of Left shots up front and Right shots on the blue line. I could see them going after a middle-6 right winger to improve there, possibly deal some more from the solid crop of AHL D-Men (esp Dougherty) and perhaps Ristolainen (if he’s not liked in the the organization) to help them with their depth after the top line.
6. RD Ristolainen (+8)
7. C Mittelstadt (-)
8. LW/C Rodrigues (-2)
9. LD McCabe (+1)
10. W Sheary (-1)
11. RW Nylander (+1)
12. LD Pilut (NR)
13. W Pominville (-1)
14. C Thompson (+3)
15. RD Bogosian (-4)
16. C/LW Larsson (-3)
17. LD Hunwick (+3)
18. W Olofsson (NR)
19. W Okposo (-4)
20. LD Scandella (+1)
21. RD Nelson (-5)
22. LW Smith (NR)
23. C/LW Girgensons (-5)
24. RD Dougherty (NR)
25. C Sobotka (-3)
26. LW Elie (NR)
29. LW Wilson (-10)
I’d flip 7&8 if Rodrigues is playing C more - where is he playing most these days? Think he has a fiture up the middle in the NHL? Wonder what he’ll get on his next contract?
