Thread: So many moves - Vancouver gets Risto

even with the trades the lack of picks left over the next three years is concerning. Botts wont do any of that as he sees the farm club as to important to give away to many picks. No one wants Bogo as he is injury prone. We keep him this year and then let him go.

Thread: Likely Lineup

I think that they will hang onto Risto until the trade deadline. With next year bringing more cap space to the Sabres I feel we can get more for him then and spend more next year. I would just hope they are a bubble team this year and then keep building. I don't see Mitts as a #2 center yet. He needs more time but with with what we have I think they may move Johansson to center and bump mitts to third line. Move Vesey to second line with Olofson and keep SER on first. Move Erod to wing on the third line with Mitts and Sheary. Just my thoughts.

No way Marner is taking just over 7 mill. You better figure at least ten mill or they would have signed him already.

Thread: Backes to Buffalo

That will never happen. Even if Boston wants Backes contract gone they are not giving up 2nd rounders plus players for two fourth liners

Thread: Good dreams

Edm struggles with fourth line. Girgensons can add to their team and they need an offensive dman who could still be a better shut down defender and is physical. Benning is not your third RHD. Risto would bring more effectiveness than him and Persson.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Csick123</b></div><div>Gardiner-Risto will give up 200 goals for the season</div></div>

I agree. Put Risto on third pair with Pilut and miller with Gardiner. That may save you some poor D play for one pairing.

You would be in a better situation if you just offer sheeted Marner. You only lose the 4 first rounders and have a solid young core.

Thread: Fake JB

Vesey didn't want to come to Buffalo in the first place. I know there are rumors that he is a possible trade here but why would you want to bring someone in who a few years ago basically said F you in going somewhere else. If this trade materializes for real Botts has to go.

I agree here 100%. We have always rushed our prospects too quickly and they never truly developed into what they could have. Let the young kids become men and bring in some bottom 6 forwards that are capable of filling the needs of the team until the young prospects are ready. Whats is another year of development for them going to hurt. We are not cup contenders with them in the lineup this year anyway.

You don't have to like the trades. We have seen many times trades where we think the value is off and may not be. These trades were actually proposed on another site I was reading and I figured I would put them in and see.

Thread: Our 2C was here all along

I believe it will take more than a mid to lower level prospect and a late first to get Zucker. He was reportedly involved in the Kessel deal which of course fell through but Minn will want more.

Who knows who will ever be traded or not. No one thought we would get Skinner for what we did either. So to say someone is ever off the trade block is an uncertainty. Heiskenen on a better team than the sabres did not put up the numbers that Dahlin did and to put them as equals is downgrading the value of Dahlin.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DH28Hockey</b></div><div>Nolan Patrick is untouchable</div></div>

Patrick has not lived up to expectations and is not untouchable. I still wouldn't go after him when there are other players the same age putting up better numbers. The Ghost isn't fairing well either and to give up Risto for him is not a good trade. And swapping 1st rounders is bad for the Sabres. This trade is skewed towards Philly for sure.

I like the lineup minus Ullmark. I am not impressed with him so far and for a few years you could sign Mrazek with better stats until UPL is ready for the jump to the big leagues.

Thread: who knows

Vegas will shed salary and other teams will take there players. But when its all said and done they will still need veteran leadership and youth to add. O'Regan needs a better place to find his spot and Okposo is a quality third or fourth liner. I mean he had 14 goals last year playing limited minutes and on a fourth line on a horrible team.

Thread: Hmmmmm

Well the draft picks were supposed to go the other way with Calgary getting a third and Buffalo the 6th. Im editing, but that is a fair trade for Risto who on a bad team hits over 40 points. On a better team he could hit 50 to 60.

Why trade for Kapanen when you can offer sheet him and only lose a second round pick for a 4.2 mil salary.
