I like Ristolainen . The guy is a hit machine . Big boy. He is a very good player, I can't believe people here this summer didn't like him

Hit the glass, hit the netting, hit his teammates. He’s a regular Juri Slegr.

I just flagged this you piece of shit. No more magma.

Jk, I didn’t actually flag it, but you know you should probably flag it yourself.

I like his bad aim and 40 Pts a year.

Hard to believe he had stats that bad on such a powerhouse team.

Sabres as a team the last four years -45 -81-61 -21

I don’t really care about his minuses, as long as we’re not giving up more than a first and a B+ prospect to get him.

Ooh. I love these subjective rankings.

Give us names!
Who is a B+ Prospect that you’d move??
And who is an A- prospect that is too valuable to give up?

Funny how this guy is so desirable, analytical experts hate him, BUF is asking for the moon. Interesting to see how it shakes out. I would go after him just not in a bidding war.

We are both big boys we can handle it .

He runs to the principle every day. It must be frustrating for him when nothing happens even though he is a chronic flagger. Remember, he and NuckFU went crying to CaptEO trying to get Malita canned. Ball-less snitch.

I would suggest everyone stop looking at the stat sheets and watch him play. He does everything . He has some Jordie Benn and Alex Edler in his game. Every game that I have seen him play I think I would gladly take him.

I think he is off the table now . Last summer Buffalo had a desire to move him but now he is playing top PP so I think they changed their minds.

They have 13 D men? Looking for forwards?

@VHG

I know you want some trade action. I love a good ol trade too but I want to see the team healthy first.

We were starting to get momentum when Ferland and Motte went down. Ferland was just starting to have big hits and get involved with the scoring . Motte is a guy who attacks.

I think the one area I would want to improve is a Motte upgrade. A bigger harder hitting energy guy. Minivan suggested a player or two from CBJ and Nashville. That is where I would like to see the upgrade/trade.

I feel with a healthy team this is a very good team.

Buffalo ( like us ) should just keep going forward. They are building a really good team.

I'm not sure how durable Ferland is going to be when the stakes get high. But you're bang on with the hitting and energy. Roussel can't do it all.

Lind plays a lot like Roussel but as far as a high energy big hits guy, both players they have are on AHL contracts , so they do need to find them somewhere else.
