It's just in the phone tag stage.

No reason to get all riled up. What if he performs real well and we flip him because Casey is ready?

That's a positive spin.
- thatsapickle

I'm not riled up.

I just think it's a huge mistake If we trade for him.

And if they DO trade for him, it better not be anything of significance going the other way, and if it is, they'd better be eating some big celery.

All this being said, if he ends up a Sabre, after my initial bout of projectile vomiting, I WILL pull for him to succeed here.

Turris is a 55 point player in an upbeat offensive system

Which I'm ok with IF Nsh retains to 4M. The 6M would be tough and would require a significant, really significant add, if not just a deal breaker all together (most likely the second one)

That’s one Haulava sentence
- sbroads24

You can Haula that one to the bank!

It would be nice if we could package Risto with Okposo+

Marcus Johansson said he wants 5 mill a year, or that's what his agent is looking for.

Why do that? no need to rush him, big mistake if they do.
- SABRES 89

Just saying, if he's ready. I agree to no rushing. But, I'm sure it's likely he's not totally ready.

He is a lanky no talent (frank)stain after all.

I've wasted everyone's time here and I sincerely apologize, you can throw this idea in the garbage can out in the Haula

I find it funny when people post on here that Okposo can maybe get us 20-25 next year, you have to be kidding me.
- SABRES 89

He's only hit 25 goals once. 3 concussions ago

Huge mistake moving Risto

- SABRES 89

I would pay that all day!!!! Even with some term. If Casey ever becomes what we hope, then he can slot in as an above average 3C

- TheSabresTaco

Will Haula at you later
Haula when you're ready
What a Haula
Haula it around

I now see why everyone wanted him

The puns are endless....

Risto, Bogo, Nylander and the Sabres next 6 6th’s for Caufield and Drouin.

- jcragcrumple

He might see 25 pucks flying around over his head if he gets knocked out again, but that's about it.

Hey, I'm not on the GET TURRIS AT ALL COSTS wagon. I'm just telling you now I'm not gonna lose my mind if he comes here at 4ish. I'm also fine with you disagreeing. Just hope you weren't wanting Haula. Because they're near the same player.
- SDSabre

No, wasn't me. I don't fall in love with prospects or NHL players that look good on paper but I've never really seen.

If Turris is good it doesn't matter how much he is paid - we would be happy. If he is bad.... that 4 mill a year is a crusher.

Don't know how we'll recover. Was said it was the worst day since 07. I'd say the worst day since "foot in the crease"

He's stuck here, might as well hope for the best.

I guess we will just have to wait and see how things work out.

HE'S NOT COLE CAUFIELD I AM SORRY FRIEND
- TheSabresTaco

He’s too skinny to be in the nhl let him develop

I see we are still blaming everything on coaching.

Is it possible that some of the players were just plain bad as well? Or they were/are not as good as some fans thought.

Were you not the leader of the crusade that it was not all Bylsmas fault and the roster was very bad?

Add - I believe it was you and I that were on this, because I know I was. Blaming coaching consistently is a cop out.

I may be completely etly wrong and Mitts May come out and put up 60 points next year. I’m not banking on it though.
- ImThatGuy

You seem to be hoping our young developing talent will fail

Anyone see what Gronkowski looks like without steroids

Huge mistake moving Risto
- SABRES 89

Have you heard anything that supports the rumors that Risto asked for a trade?

Do you think he gets moved, whether its a good idea or not?

Risto, Bogo, Nylander and the Sabres next 6 6th’s for Caufield and Drouin.

pass

Risto, Bogo, Nylander and the Sabres next 6 6th’s for Caufield and Drouin.
- washedup20

Yes

Risto, Bogo, Nylander and the Sabres next 6 6th’s for Caufield and Drouin.
- washedup20

Ha, We could have had Caufield or even traded up with our 31st. Dont think Botts or scouts are big on him but I like your thinking

I guess we will just have to wait and see how things work out.
- SABRES 89

There are still quite a few reasonably good UFA's....I wonder what the hold up is...

- Shadman306

I didn't hear if he asked for a trade but our fiend on here Boss34 said that he heard Risto wants out. If Botterill wantd to move him, he would be gone by now but it's still early.
