What’s the odds Okposo retires? Maybe they are loading up on 4th liners with this knowledge.

Maybe he is going to opt out of the next season due to COVID?

Montour was hot garbage as an LHD, and the majority of the time he spent at LHD was with Ristolainen as his RHD. They were a god awful pair, and were a big reason the Sabres cratered in defensive metrics as a team by the end of the season.

So I did remember right. Lol. They have some work to do there and I don’t see the two new defensive Larrys as the answer.

So with new Larrys....

Dahlin. Miller.
McCabe. Risto
Larryson. Joker.
Monte
Irwarry.

Risto is just the right guy to move in this. He just doesn’t fit with his contract coming up and his frustrations with the team. How do pay Dahlin, Joker, Risto... etc...

But they LOVE Risto. Sssoooooo fustercluck

It shows you who the real GM is, and it isn't Adams.
- kingcong39

Yep, it's Krueger, said that when they hired Adams, nobody is going to tell Pegula what to do. This ass clown thinks he known's it all considering how good the Bills are doing. He got lucky with Beane because Beane is no dummy.

1. You tracking the jet again

2. Great another LW! Makes sssssoooo much sense. LW and RD! It’s the Botts way!!!

3. The trip probably gets him closer to where he will end up. Free flight on the pegs dime! Lean indeed.

Ristolainen had a solid start and a horrible finish, ending up with worse numbers than under Housley.

Interesting post :

I guess I'm using the "eye test" and old school stats.

-2 +/-
40 point pace in a real season. 33 in 69 games
Physical

Can playing for a coach/system for a 2nd year help analytics? He is only 25 years old still.

Pietrangelo didn't just fly here today for 1 day, he will be here the weekend. They don't plan on letting him leave unsigned.

89 has said several times they love Risto

My guess is Miller or maybe even Montour

TBN said that Ralph loves him too Mike Harrington to be exact

😀

I had to look twice. 25 years old , defenseman can still get better.

Wonder if risto stayed in Rochester, might have helped work out some of the kinks?

I’d be OK with it on the condition that Reinhart is being dealt for Kuemper or they found a team dumb enough to take Skinner’s contract.

That’s right! Sorry. That’s ok though! We should try and thieve someone from
Vegas then!

Mark Pysyk has agreed to a one-year, $750,000 contract with the Dallas Stars.
Pysyk had nine goals and 18 points in 58 contests with the Florida Panthers in 2019-20. He'll likely serve as a third-pairing or seventh defenseman with the Stars. "Mark is a solid, puck-moving defenseman and gives us another right-handed shot on the backend," said Stars GM Jim Nill. "We feel that his skillset lends itself to how we ask our defensemen to activate and he will be a good fit."

If he could still stop pucks he would still be the starter. They should have never given an old goalie that contract. Unusually foolish for them.
