You can believe what you want but ristolainen has been shopped ..

Hate to break it to you

Again, how do you know? Where is this information coming from? Being asked about, which is what every GM form every team gets asked, is much different than cold calling and shopping.

Where do you get your information? Ek?

Someone said earlier that Risto WAS being shopped..


Never was being shopped and isn't being shopped now.

No wonder he can't find a trade partner.

or just find a way to bury hutton in rochester next season

ullmark was fine

- homiedclown

Goaltending hurt a lot of teams this year including Montreal,Toronto, Florida, Nashville, Ottawa, Pittsburg, New York, and more. Some teams that got hurt the most had the high priced 8 to 10 mil stoppers. Before you start to bury anyone in Rochester you better know who is coming in. If Ullmark is what everyone on the site says is the answer then leave this like it is till he either proves that by a full year as number 1. He’s going to want a lot more coin just to prove it.

you really need to read what 89 and myself have been saying

I will keep it brief and simple for you


1. botts has never shopped risto


2. teams have asked about risto, many


3. botts only had 1 offer that was close, tampa, and they did not want give up a certain player that was necessary for there to be serious talks about moving risto




4. again botts has NEVER shopped risto

- homiedclown


This is a no-win situation for Sabres fans.

Either you're wrong, and Botterill is too incompetent to pull off a trade.

Or you're right, and Botterill has no clue how to build a good team.

There is no scenario where the Buffalo Sabres are a good team and Ristolainen is on it at the same time. None.

nhl average tenure for gm is 4 years

if botts gets a 4th year, joker, casey and cozens will determine his long term fate

If botts is counting on Casey and Cozens, he won’t make it to 2021....

the lack of effort from this team the last 3 games, does not bold well for Ralph
- homiedclown

Said it before. Ralph is a great coach. Effort may not be there anymore cause The ship is going down this year and there is no stopping it from a coaching side. The players with little or no jump now will have the same effort when they face any type of adversity.
The GM can make notes now on who really wants to be in Buffalo next year.

He's had 3 years to make this assessment. The #1 reason we know that he is incapable of this is that Ristolainen is still here. He's publicly stated he's wanted out for 2 years, and he isn't very good. Yet, Botterill has kept him here.
