Thread: Sabres offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DickFoligno</b></div><div>Ristolainen is not as bad as people make him out to be, and.yes the hole doesn’t exist now but it will if Pietro walks. The problem in Buffalo is he’s asked to anchor the defense and play in every situation including the pk and he’s had to do it in buffalo where he’s never had an elite partner like a Parayko on that top pair, he has had success with Marco Scandella who is also on the Blues now. He actually had a bettter year defensively under Kreuger last year than people realize and I’m sure he’d do fine in St. Louis, especially considering he’s going to be half the cost of most workhorse defenseman they can get if Peitro leaves, and plus if he does, they will have a gaping hole on the right side of guys who can play 20 minutes a night, as well as the power play and he has also been one of the best power play defenseman in the league over the past five years

For a third line grinder and a draft pick or two, it’s a reasonable offer if the need is there and I think it could be. And If he does leave I almost gaurentee the Blues call us</div></div>

the hole doesnt exist because risto would still be a third pairing RD behind parayko and faulk. I can find someone for way cheaper in FA to fill that hole.
