I hope not, Danny D is an average middle of the road 2nd pairing Dman. He got over paid big time

ken holland has jumped off a cliff into the bottom of the league as a GM with his track record the last 2 years

He's better than that, he has an amazing last name, and Risto hasn't proven himself to be anything more so far. If he wants a long term deal its based on performance not potential.

Potential is a bridge.


Also, 5 mill per is the going rate these days.

the vanek signing could be a grand slam or a missed layup.. depends on which version shows up.. but just like semen i have a feeling it will be a terrible signing.

i felt it was an overpayment.. i think it is a little better than average 2nd pairing guy.. but i don't think he has the potential that risto shows

The other pic
watched it for 10 minutes running around the patio. It disappeared behind the tree. Came back dragging the spider. Dragged it 10' across the patio then up the side.

He really isnt, its very vanilla, not overally offensive and not very good in his own end. In fancy stats talk he doesnt drive offense or the play, scores like a 2nd pairing guy, and is very underwhelming in terms of shot suppression ability.

He got overpaid to be a meh number 4 guy

I think its called "Duel of the Fates" and of course its another epic score by John Williams

I don't understand why the Sabres never made a play on Star Wars at the arena. Imagine pumping that scene with Obi Wan and Darth Maul on the scoreboard right before a big PP in the 3rd period. Crowd would love it.

Hes just not anything special to be locking up 5mx6 years for a 27 year old Dman. Hes not going to get magically better when hes 30.

Its a pretty bad signing now and long term. too much cash and term. I dont mind the player, just not at that price

not really, Risto is 21 vs Dekyser who is 27. They paid full UFA value in that contract to him, Risto you are still buying up most of his RFA years, and depenidng on how many UFA years you buy up will really determine his value.

They're called Sider Hawks or something like that. They kill the spider and like eat out its insides so they can lay their eggs inside the spider's exoskeleton.
