How so?

If Tampa has been calling about Risto they much really want him.

If Tampa wants to shed salary they better pony up.

It is probably not enough to get their first but I think it's closer than you think.

I’m with everyone else here Stripes

Break down the trade

We get a late 1st for taking on Callahan
*slightly in our favor

Then we give up Risto for Tyler Johnson
*heavily in their favor

So it’s already balanced in their favor
Then we give up Tage as well?

Just doesn’t make sense to me

Then no Ristolainen .. next

they ain't moving him, sorry to say

Simpsons episode tonight is all in Buffalo.

You don't say

Whatever team loses, their goalie is going to win the Conn Smyth. Both of them deserve it as a loser. As weird as that sounds.
- BeadyEyedDouche

Binnington absolutely does not deserve it. He has a .913 2.46. Rask has a .937 1.97. Binnington has allowed 15 more goals too.

I still think JT Miller and Callahan ends up Sabres

It’s just a cop out.

How did Sam improve under Phil?

How did Skinner have a career year under Phil?

How did Dahlin have one of the best rookie years an 18 yo D man has ever had under Phil?
- sbroads24

Maybe:
Sam was a year older, and made a jump? He was 2oa.
Its not like he put up McDavid numbers

Skinner played with eichel for the first time in his career

Dahlin was touted as the best defenseman to ever be drafted. He didnt put up those numbers right?


Phail lousley got fired. Right?

Typical ROR special.

Give the B’s their 1-0 lead with a penalty, flub a breakaway, score when his team is out of it, get endless praise
- sbroads24

Will you just STFU???

Holy sh!t dude
Get a freaking life

Phil sucked. But Ristolainen was the same guy under DB

I'd love him but Tampa isn't moving him
- Stripes77

nope
Miller, Johnson or Palat

Johnson is a 25 goal scorer.

This team needs more scoring.

A 2nd liner who can pot 25 and put up close to 50 points.

He scored 23 of his 29 goals at 5 on 5, 27 of those at even strength

Will you just STFU???

Holy sh!t dude
Get a freaking life
- jdfitz77

Took 10 minutes for you to take the bait

I’m getting good

Dude you really need to understand the sarcasm there

I thought Beaulieu was fine with Phil, FWIW

How was scandella?

How was scandella?
- Boss34

Old, slow, and bad

Phil sucked. But Ristolainen was the same guy under DB
- sbroads24

and nolan
and rolston

If I’m moving Ristolainen I want a up and coming center like Cirelli and if we’re talking Ryan Callahan then they have to add something more

I like Johnson a lot but we’re giving up way too much for him in my opinion
- gerbe75pts

If I'm moving Risto I want an established center. If I have to add I have to add, but I'm not taking futures. I'm done with that.

I would do Risto and a 2nd for Trocheck. Pending a really through physical, yeah, he played 55 games last year, but that was a very nasty injury.

tennyson bad

Phil sucked. But Ristolainen was the same guy under DB
- sbroads24

Just an opinion, but risto looked terrible last year.

He has been one of my favorite players.

Only this past season has he been disappointing to me


Checks all the boxes.

-hockey dad approved
-guys in my section like him


🤔

We do not want Callahan.....


Use that 6 million on a player that can actually play.

Took 10 minutes for you to take the bait

I’m getting good
- sbroads24

At baiting me?
Congrats on your accomplishments
You’re a real winner...
just like the speedy Berglund

It’s just a cop out.

How did Sam improve under Phil?

How did Skinner have a career year under Jack?

How did Dahlin have one of the best rookie years an 18 yo D man has ever had under Phil?
- sbroads24

FIFY

And yeah, let's keep comparing the most hyped D-man to come into the league in 40 years to a random 8th overall.

Yeah I don’t want EK for 12m a year

Ristolainen can be replaced maybe sign Petrovic or Stralman for 2m
- gerbe75pts

Ristolainen produced at the 22nd best ppg for defensemen last year. He’s paid as the 44th highest.

This dude named Petro or Stralman... LMFAOO Go have a happy meal and play in the ball pit.

If I'm moving Risto I want an established center. If I have to add I have to add, but I'm not taking futures. I'm done with that.

- Wetbandit1

Hamonic got a mid first and 2 seconds

Risto is as good as Hamonic

and I doubt the sabres move Risto

We do not want Callahan.....

If it gets you Miller for pennies
