I think Risto is still available. Sabres still need scoring. Krueger has been running 7d and 11f, and that's with Dahlin hurt.

We have so many defensemen, with more capable bodies in the minors. What the Sabres dont have is scoring. Risto's minutes are down somewhat which is helping his numbers. He's actually a + player this year and he's still producing offensively

Risto is back on the PP due to Dahlin's injury

Honestly can't see the Canucks doing that much this year revamping anything. They had a big offseason with all the FA they signed... plus, the guys in the minors are ready to get those 5/6/7 minutes in the next year. But adding a young D to the roster wouldn't hurt, depending on the price.

I like your team and see good things about them. I see quite a few similarities between the two teams .

Your team has had better lotto luck but we are very excited abut some of our draft picks.

We seem to be on the same trajectory so I wish you luck.

I am a Risto fan . Don't know why but I just am. I also liked Nino Niederietter and I don't know why? Maybe it is just a thing for players with same first and last name initials

I agree . Risto was a summer wish before Myers. I think we are pretty set now.

The problem with Risto as I see it is that every single sabres coach since teddy nolan has looked at Risto and said "He's big and he's tough so he must be a defensive defenseman." He's not. He's very much an offensive defenseman, but being miscast screwed up his +/- something fierce, not to mention that he played over 25 minutes a game for a lot of years. He's now "only" 29th in the league in ATOI instead of 4th or 5th like he was for so many years.

I think he'll be traded because of the sheer number of defensemen the sabres have, but it seems like his value is pretty well tanked, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You guys seem to be heading in the right direction as well. Expansion cousins, unite. Enjoy the game

Wow that’s great production.

We are nearing the point or maybe there where we can entertain a big trade. Idk if prudent this season but next offseason could be exciting. I can see this group being much better with this season under their belt for big expectations next year.

Wondering who is available to go for?
RFA or UFA or a key upgrade trade?

I guess to each their own, but I do not find this funny at all. Poor little kids, could be traumatized and adults are laughing...no sarcasm here.

Eh, the page is user submissions so the parents usually write that the kid is A-okay. Also, if you could remember all the times you hurt yourself in some dumb way as a kid, it'd probably be much the same as the page (with the parents laughing). Only difference is now parents have a video recorder in their pockets
