24 year old RHD that can really move and has good offensive instinct. A good 2nd pair RHD for the new NHL. I think he can be our Gardiner minus the bonehead turnovers (at least not as many).

He said it was worth around 3 wins on average during that span.

Which is significant. We’d still be in the hunt with legit average goaltending.

Average goaltending + in the hunt in March is not that bad for what expectations were to start the season.

I truly believe with some tweaks and a good “core player” added this team can start to really contend.

Seriously, a Huberdeau for Risto trade + some development from Mitts and Dahlin plus adding another goalie and I think we’re a playoff team

Hope he doesn't turn out to be great 5-10 games than disappears

Risto? . Hmmmm seems he is becoming expendable . Might be better to off him before his value really drops

He looks like a Cali kid, and with him playing in Anaheim it’s really weird for some reason he’s from Ontario

Risto and the SJS 1st for Trouba in a sign and trade Still holding out hope we get the Blues’ pick top 20 and keep it. Unless there is a move on the draft floor we can’t refuse.

He’s from Oshwegan. A native reserve outside of Brantford Ontario. It explains the dark complexion.

If by some miracle Botts can move both Bogosian and Scandella this offseason. Trade Risto for Best Player offered and sign Karlsson to whatever the hell he wants, I dont care if its 12.5 to 13.5 million a year.

Start the D with Karlsson, Dahlin, Montour, Pilut, Nelson, and McCabe next year.

Casey Nelson had a 82% CF last night..... This guy has been a healthy f***ing scratch the last few weeks so Bogo and Scandella can suck. Viva la top 10 pick.

I’m a full believer in the tank, but at least play the right guys. Pilut and Nelson should be in the lineup regularaly. At least Pilut is getting tons of minutes back down in Rochester again.

At some point, we really need to play better defense.

Lots of Skinner talk today
Imo, Botts should go to him with 8x8.25per
That’s 66mil total
I can’t see anyone else going above 9mil
So the most he could get is 63mil

8.25per should hopefully get it done
If he really has to go to 9mil per,
then so be it i guess

Don’t think we can afford to lose Skinner

Good line would be . What would it cost to replace him? we have him for now . Don;t have to look for a player like him.

I'm not a fan personally, but no way he isnt here for a few years at the price we paid for him.
