I strongly suspect that the sabres will not trade ristolainen and expose borgen as a consequence. You could probably draw straws to see which two forwards - out of bjork, asplund, and thompson- they choose to protect. If i was gm of seattle, i would take borgen, and say thank you very much. I feel like adams is still green, and if the market is at all soft for ristolainen, the optics of a bad trade would be just awful, plus our gms and coaches over the years seem to love ol'55 for better or worse.
