So I'm held to higher standards?
- Boss34

Nobody should dumb here.

Nothing wrong with a joke.

I think Mitts will be. And Benn or being able to move a good FWD with him will help
- sbroads24

Benn might be the perfect addition
*depending on the price

He can play 2C now,
moving Mitts down to 3C

And when Mitts is ready for 2C duty,
He can switch back to LW

I'm all on board now trying some form of the following:

Sheary - Eichel - Thompson
Skinner - Mittelstadt - Reinhart
- kingcong39

I suggested similar the other day.


I don't get why they are setting up 37 to fail

He can't

The perpetual frustration of a bar-back who never gets laid
- BeadyEyedDouche

Stop giving me a RAW DEAL

RNH would be one of the better 2C's for he next couple years while Mitts developes here or in Roch.
In another year or 2 if necessary Mitts is then ready for full time 2C.
Puting up 36 points this year between Lucic and Puljujarvi is quite the feat...he is driving ghat line, not complimenting it.
But whatever.
- IonSabres

But why are we giving up any assets for a 2-year stop-gap that will demand the exact contract we want to avoid right now?

Grigostats.

You wish you got a "raw" deal once in a while

Don’t dumb here.

There is no “I” in team. Jack was on the 31st overall team too. And the Living Legend didn’t make a big difference.
- Der Kaiser

Even if we pick top10...

You’re acting like we will definitely get high impact player

No one picked around 10 in last year’s draft is doing anything yet
Even Mitts, picked 2 years ago is struggling

Heck,
we could just as easily get a Nylander who we are still unsure about 3 years later

Let’s make the playoffs & still have a chance to draft & develop a player picked around 18th into a good one

Even the difference between 8 & 18 isn’t as big sometimes as you’d think
*i haven’t done a ton of research on this draft yet to know where the prospect groupings are though
- jdfitz77

You have your opinion, I have mine. I don’t think either of us are wrong. Neither of us will know who is right till 5 years from now. I like our chances of finding a core player in the 10-13 range then I do in the 15-18 range. There could be a few studs that get picked in the latter half of the first round or in the rounds after that. You also never know if your numbers get called in the lottery and a man can dream for a top 3 pick.

I agree with your earlier post about risto being an offensive defenseman that hits.

Thing is:
He is on pace for 50 points and we lack scoring bigtime
He is leading the league in hits. We lack toughness
He is leading the team in blocked shots
He plays half the game. Dahlin can play half as well

He is probably well desired among gms
- Boss34

Your last sentence is dead on.

I view Risto as this era's Dion Phanuef.

Very good when the puck is already in the O-zone, and is a physical player. It's the actual playing of defense and transition game that isn't great.

He's a fine player, just over rated because of a few highlight reel plays a year and padded PP stats.

If we kept him I'm absolutely fine. If we traded him I think we could wind up banking a win

I had the sex once

I'm all on board now trying some form of the following:

Sheary - Eichel - Thompson
Skinner - Mittelstadt - Reinhart
- kingcong39

I don’t see why not?

I said we should break up the top line over 2 weeks ago

I have said this exact thing numerous times over the past 2 years

Completely agree. Trade him while his value is highest and his contract is a bargain.

what was it like?

asking for a friend

well

not a friend but he needs to know

I heard it's all slippery and stuff

but that was in a movie

If you don’t use lube your ass will probably bleed.

Let’s have it both ways

Sabres make the playoffs
Win the lotto with the StL pick
*just need them to go on a little run so they miss the playoffs but still make it out of the top10

If you don’t use lube your ass will probably bleed.

You’re making sense
But that’s not something that computes for him

RNH (at the right price) would be a very nice addition for us

Probably.

I like those chances.

I was kidding as well 🙂

You obviously have a thing for me
Why don’t u come pick me up & we can visit that bar in Lockport I’ve been hearing about?

I suggested similar the other day.

Could any of this be part of a contract ploy?

Last year Sam at center?
This year mitts at center?

But why are we giving up any assets for a 2-year stop-gap that will demand the exact contract we want to avoid right now?
- BeadyEyedDouche

Trade him then, get something back.

You ain't getting Seguin for Risto....need to ship another $4m out that the Stars want.
How, are you fitting in a $9.85m cap hit?
He is an unbelieveable talent no doubt, trouble does seem to follow him though.
As soon as Risto is gone, we'll be back to female doging about our D.
