I can't fathom a world where people think he is an offensive defenseman. He is awful with breakout passes and he is not a driver of play in the offensive zone. How often do you say to yourself "look at that pass Risto made for the goal"? There is a reason that they got him off pp1 in favor of Dahlin - Dahlin is a driver of play. - Slump Buster
Offensive defenseman = (3) time 40 point defenseman
Dahlin = most touted defenseman in the the modern draft era. Maybe he forced his way to pp1?
I know you're convinced of this, but you should really take a closer look at just how little he's done it and low little he's produced there. - Lunaion
Sheary?
I know it was for 1.5 seasons really
So no, not long
But more than any of the other options
If u have links to what you’re referring to though,
I’d definitely take a look
I’m going off memory

I don't claim to have inside information. I just mean, he is awful. I watch him and can see it with the naked eye. If you take away all the upside and potential of being better, we have been watching a really bad defenseman the last few years. And if the eye test says that, the stats say he is even worse.
We all know it. That's why everyone in Buffalo wants him gone (most everyone). I have a hard time believing GM's don't know it. Their players target him when he is on the ice to force bade turnovers. They have to all know he sucks. And even if a few are dumb enough to want him, they know the other twenty something GM's don't. So they aren't going to offer something good.
Like, in what world is the defenseman who leads the league in Minus, can't pass out of his own end, and has terrible possession numbers going to get you a 50 point forward? - matty12345
It is my belief that everyone who posts here has no value and will be stuck in their ways for forever with no upside and therefore, no redeeming social value. Please do not try to better yourself because everyone's opinion of you will never change and you are who you are, even if you take classes or read or perform a task with better direction.
It is my belief that the team and this blog should be nuked.

I'm not going to dive into this little discussion here.. but.. these are pretty weak examples when it comes to any kind of legitimate breakout passing skill.
Check out the German series Dark on Netflix if you haven't already. Real mind-bending sh!t I think you two would appreciate. I burned through its two seasons in less than a week.
Plus it doesn't have the propaganda, misinformation, and agenda pushing that you find in basically every Netflix production.

Why do they have to be breakout passes? Again, I'm advocating for giving the guy 65% o zone starts. He is good in the offensive zone

I fully recognize his specialty lies in the ozone. In fact, he should never leave the ozone. Unless it's against 3rd and 4th lines. I still don't know why I made the previous comment.
He has his uses. It's too bad he's been used so poorly his entire career.

Ya know, for a know-it-all douche, this is kinda good. - TheSabresTaco
It was all very disappointing in actuality,
I worked very hard to be a Know-it-all Douche-Bag.
To be slighted by not having Bag included was, well rather demoralizing.
I need to be better, and it starts with me.
