People really need to stop discrediting Risto like this... my god. The only defensemen on this roster right now that is UNDOUBTEDLY better than Risto is Dahlin.
- JVince11

Miller, Montour and joker If we’re looking at those fancy stats

Saved .. 6 years in the NHL he’s a vet
4 NHL coaches and every time he does his own thing .. don’t give me this “ Phil stuff” When the guy doesn’t even listen to any coach or the Sabres coaching staff or the Sabres In general about his off-season training
- gerbe75pts

This is the least of our worries about him. Dude is a tank, and is in better condition then most, if not all, of the team.

Dude is never hurt and he's built like a brick poop house.

Why are they mad about that?

I feel like you take Risto personally... You ghost me now because you know I am a Risto supporter.

smh.

kid is gonna freak out when risto plays 25 minutes for the sabres opening night

like a fake tough guy

Scandella has to be getting waived.

Bogosian will be on IR.

Montour Miller Dahlin McCabe Risto will be top 5

three of Hunwick Nelson Pilut and Joker will make the team as 6-8. The other two are in rodchester.
- matty12345

Scandella isn't getting waived - one year left on his contract and he'd still count vs the cap if waived.

I can see a case where cozens plays on jack's line opening night
- homiedclown

You spelled Ristolainin wrong..

I also might have, but I'm too lazy to look and tired of the short hand Risto

The HOCKEY TRADE that happened yesterday supports what I actually said.
#insufferable
- Der Kaiser

Ok.
In reality, that trade was about prospects, as were the vast majority of the trades made from 7/05 forward.
I LOVE the trade, but let's not act like it was a hockey trade of NHL roster players of significance.
Carry on.

6'4" 215 says different. Bet you wouldn't say that to his face.

- gerbe75pts

Oh come the (frank) on.

He hits and he fights. Guys don't want to (frank) with him. You can rag on Risto for a lot, but this is silly imo

He’s going to be a top 4 NHLer.

If he reaches his potential he’s a top 2 defenseman.


Nylander has to be a top 6 NHL winger or he’s nothing more than Jody Gage.


That said imo Nylander has the higher ceiling. This a boom or bust deal for Chicago but they did turn around Stromes career if he continues the way he seems to be trending.

All and all I think this is a great move for Buffalo regardless of what Nylander does.
- dadeadhead

Savage but prob true

24 year old d man
gets 40-45 points a year
cap friendly contract

sabres brass realized housley had no clue what he is doing


centers in the pipeline


risto is going nowhere in the next 4 months
- homiedclown

You've been saying this for a while. Makes sense in that he brings a toughness we don't otherwise have. Doesn't make sense looking at Jbotts moves and listening to Jbotts interviews. I believe he's holding out for the right deal. We'll see, the leaks with this GM have been non-existent

If LA would add, I would do Scandells + for Carter. Doubt Carter would waive to come here.
- SABRES 89

I think he would. He's a pretty unwanted commodity.

Oh come the (frank) on.

- jcragcrumple

I guess the only thing he's good at is passing the puck to Jack on the PP and exploding sticks. But seriously, get this guy a stick that doesn't explode. Bet he loses 5/10 points a year.

What about his "lost the love of the game" moment when he liked a trade proposal on Twitter?

Bring back the Titan Hockey sticks Risto would have a hard time breaking one of those bad boys.

Well we all know you have the access. And I'm sure you could get someone to record it. Time to put up. If you say you'll do something, you better do it.
