I've always said if you can get a first rounder for him or a prospect who projects as a good top six forward, I do that. Anyone trading for Risto probably wants some offense, and I can't see giving up a top six in that situation.

But a high pick or good prospect and 5.5 mil in cap space would be a really nice get Imo. Botts could go out and then flip the asset for a middle six forward maybe.

Yes. Trade all our players for picks and prospects. Some guy ranked our prospect pool bad, so it must be true. Maybe we should all get really worked up about it and complain about it for another two days.

Risto sucks - trade him for a 2c or 2 winger.

How can it be both?

Flacco looked decent btw đź‘Ť

Our O-Line will be imperative this year. Fangio will have this defense in the top 5 this year no doubt. If we can run the ball well and Flacco doesn’t turn the ball over we can surprise some people.

Who is Fangio and when did Josh Allen change his name? Other than that, right on!

Trouba got a second round pick. Miller got a second and a fifth. I think if we get a first for Risto we will have done really well. It's sort of irrelevant if our farm system is bare or full.

It's a lot easier to trade a good player for picks and then use those picks to get another good player than it is to make a straight swap. That's all I'm saying. We have a log jam on defense, so convert Risto into an asset and then use that asset at some point to buy a forward.

I think they should have tanked for another year to stockpile more high-end talent. Their window opens in 2021

My wife finished this puzzle we've had around the house. It took her 4 months of nearly every spare moment she had, and she is so proud because on the box it says "2-4 years".

So basically a 2nd without being a 2nd, more like a 1st but a crazy 1st and a donut.

I would not be upset to see them try this for a game, if all our RHD are healthy:

Skinner - Eichel - Risto
MoJo - Mitts - Rhino
VO - Erod - Vesey
Sheary - Girgs - Okposo
