So if he makes another bad trade you don’t want him gone ? Sorry but I thought the goal is to win the cup

Trading Ristolainen for AC and a cap dump is a bad move, if botts is gonna move Ristolainen he needs to bring in a huberdeau type player, need a bonafied top six guy coming back.

preach on

We should go back to Black, White and Red with the Sabres logo. My opinion. Someone posted a picture of Eichel on the ice with jersey on, it looked good.

Seattle is going to be red white and black.

Botts literally cant (frank) up again like the ROR trade.

The Skinner trade helped but its looking less and less like he is going to be here long term.

where's the damn royal blue

I do agree with Button here below though:

“I’ll tell you what will happen the minute you trade Rasmus Ristolainen: you’ll be looking for a player like Rasmus Ristolainen,” TSN analyst Craig Button, a former NHL general manager, said during a phone interview. “You’re going to go try to replace a top-three defenseman that can do a lot of different things with a winger?

“That winger better be an elite winger then because that’s the only justification I would have for making it.”

Same thing happened to us with you know who...

Wasn't the deal Sergachev Cirelli and Callahan for Risto?
- mattmoulson

i'd take that

Agree he’s our best trade chip, botts needs to maximize value in any deal. I don’t want to see Ristolainen dealt for prospects and picks we need an established nhl player that can contribute meaningfully to the lineup.

Queue everyone taking this as gospel then spewing ridiculous trade proposals

thx for using 'queue' and not 'cue'

I really wish we had kept ROR and Kane

They’ve combined for 5 goals in 38 playoff games this postseason

I’d pay 14.5 mil towards the cap for that production in a heartbeat

Cirelli is the truth man you want a young Bergeron type player he’s your guy I’m telling you next year he will not be available
He will go 30-30 and be in the selke trophy Conversation and only 22

He seems to be on the cusp.

There is only one Bergeron, but I get your point.

capfriendly has bolts with 17 contracts at $74.4m and point will probably take up most, if not all of their space...

got some serious work to do...risto for salary cap dump Callahan and the two entry-level contracts of cirelli and sergachev don't do much for them cap-wise

Yuck
I hated that color scheme
Stick to some shades of blue & gold imo

He seems to be on the cusp.

This is the opportunity to get that superstar trade he becomes the 2nd line center or we sign Matt Duchene and he goes to the 3rd with Casey you could have 3 deep lines if everything works out

But Cirelli could just jump in the 2nd line center and there be no worries

- mattmoulson

Idk that we heard a definitive rumor on who would be involved?

That seems close though
Maybe we’d have to add a small piece?

If Tampa makes that trade, they’re still looking to make other moves for Cap relief

There is only one Bergeron, but I get your point.
- Pegullaville

Lol yeah he’s not Bergeron ..

Just in that tier

not sold on Duchene...his price I gonna be high and I doubt he'll live up to it...

can you imagine sabreland if he signs in buffalo for, say, $8.5-9m and puts up 25 goals and 55 points?
