Saw Kassian listed at 214lbs, but mind you this is at age 23.

Nick Ritchie is only 18yrs old and is pushing 230lbs. And he could still be growing!

This dude is a heavyweight!



I'd love to see him parked in the slot!

I'd rather not waste a top 10 pick on a guy who you can get like Maroon.

Ekblad and go Ritchie at 8

I think 8 has to be included in the package JVR alone doesn't get you 1

Hearing Panthers seriously considering an offer from the Maple Leafs for the #1 overall pick. JVR centerpiece with others going to FLA
That's the tweet

Maloney said this move was purely about behavioral issues and not cost-saving move. Ribeiro has been seeking help this summer, Maloney said.

Ribeiro was bought out solely due to behavior issues. That's not a guy you want in a young locker room.

Pass.

Washington didnt sign him, Coyotes buying him out after a year. Smells fishy...

Depends on what the issue is. If it's a distaste for the coach, maybe Nolan can straighten him out.

I'm thinking "seeking help this summer" means he went outside the team for psychological help. That's some serious stuff. Especially since I believe most teams employee psychologists/therapists.

My guess would be something white and powdery

My guess is alcohol.


If I remember correctly that is why Montreal 86'd him.

Blue, chrystalline, and TIGHT!

That's true, but if it's a family issue or something like that it could be less impactful on his game.

It's hard to speculate what the issue could be. Seeking personal help is a good sign that he wants to get better. I don't think he signs here. Probably wants to go to a contender anyway.

My guess would be he's got hobbies that align with a certain sabres fan on these blogs....

He isn't to bad and I wouldn't mind him if he can sort out whatever it is that ails him.

He's not even that good, problems or not, he's not worth the conversation.

34 yrs old

Coming off his lowest point total in over a decade.

Has issue's that has cost him to be moved before.

IMO not the "Leader" you put on a rebuilding team. He needs to go to a team that has strong leadership in place.

If it is substance abuse , you want no part of it . Dealt with enough hooked rock stars over the years.

Benning is wheeling and dealing.

If they trade Myers, I hope they go after Yandle.

If the Sabres get what we want for Myers imagine what it would take to get Yandle
