Toronto-Buffalo Setting Risto Free

Created by: GiantBoots
Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 8, 2020
Published: Feb. 8, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Would both teams make this deal? It may hurt to trade in-division, but Toronto needs an RHD cheap. And Buffalo needs forwards, and to get something long-term for Ristolainen.

Yet somehow I don’t like it either. We need someone more reliable. I like risto’s physical play. We need a top pair guy (obviously it would cost more than this) Risto just isn’t it.

LOl Kadri wouldn't want that. He has had a lot of fights on Buffalo. They don't like him

Gonna be interesting how the Leafs handle the RHD with Ceci injured. They can't be running Barrie and Holl out playing 23 minutes a night. Is it sink for swim with Liljjegren or do the Leafs actually acquire another Dman or put Marincin or Dermot on the right side?

I'd do it without retention and without bracco

What's stopping the Leafs from flipping Risto to Anaheim for Manson after?

With the way that Barrie is getting undeservedly crucified by Leaf fans this year, I can't see them liking Ristolainen. I wouldn't touch this trade with a 10 foot pole

Probably not
But Buffalo was looking for a 2C and the Leafs looking for a RD

IF they were ever gonna trade with each other (which i doubt),
then that would’ve been the perfect scenario to do so
