Almost every trade involving the Sabres I see Risto and our first going out...I don't see it happening. We have no forward prospects to speak of in the system other than Cozens so we need to build the system up which Botterill has stated he wants to do. As for Risto I don't think he gets traded unless it's his contract year and what he is going to ask for doesn't fall into the cap budget of Botterill.
As for this trade Montreal would be nuts not to take it. As reported today from Spectors Hockey "Domi’s name has surfaced a couple of times in recent speculation. While there’s been some grumbling in the Montreal media over his temper, consistency, and supposedly selfish play, the 24-year-old reached a career-high 72 points last season and is on pace for a respectable 55 points. If this is the case I don't see Domi as the type of player that Botterill or Krueger would want, It's either buy into the system or else as evidenced by the benching at times of Miller and Rodrigues. I should say point wise would not be the problem but still think it's a gross over payment JMO
