I wouldn't do Bratt thats just desperate .. i remember when risto could get ehlers now Bratt is the prize ... sad

It's also quite likely a reality regarding Ristolainen.

If the return is Bratt, who would positively impact the roster at a reduced cost, it also allows you to spend more money on better players as well.

It's never about one move in a vacuum. It's how one move can turn into additional moves.

He be out of the west and in a soft east for his injuries to go down

That would be great, would like to see what the kid could do in a full season. And would take him on the Sabres, but his injury history bothers me. If he's not on the ice, he can't help us.

So what you're actually saying is you need 1.3 players to replace one, if one player won't be playing 16 games each season?
- kingcong39


If you believe brock is " injury prone"

Dude's 23 years old with a couple injuries.

Eichel has been hurt frequently, do the Sabres currently plan for an extra .33 player?

Believe me I’m with you. They shouldn’t be involved period and their track record proves it. The only problem is they hold all the cards and they have a vote each and we have none.

As it should be. This board has become an insufferable cesspool.

Benning seems like the type who would like Risto.

Risto, Mitts, 2021 first rounder for Boeser

Well if we were to get him, hopefully he isn't injury prone, but for the last 3 years he has missed 13 games or more each season.

How good is Boeser? Serious question.
- kingcong39


Averages 55pts in 67games over his 3 seasons in the league
Might be injury prone?
Has the ability to score 30+ goals

Apparently they need back end help
Risto/Montour + could interest them
I’d want that + to be more like Tage/Asplund, not Mitts & a 1st like Pegs suggested
I could add a pick that’s not a 1st & be ok with it still

He’d be a great fit
We need another good RW

That's about the size of it. He plays with Pettersson, so the points will always be there.

His defensive play is surprisingly good, but if you wanted a player with mediocre on ice impacts and good defensive impacts, you'd just re-sign Girgensons (im not comparing the two just making a point about what he brings)

- Michael Ghofrani


U left out the ability to SCORE 30+ goals
And don’t we DESPERATELY need secondary scoring???

Canada might be the safest place for these guys.
