Without Ristolainen what is our team looking like game 1? Assuming ROR and Okposo play:

Ennis-ROR-Okposo
Kane-Eichel-Reinhart
Moulson-Girgensons-Grant
Foligno-Larsson-Gionta

Kulikov-Nelson
McCabe-Bogosian
Gorges-Franson
(No particular order on the pairings, just replacing Risto with Nelson)

Guhle might stay up, has what, 9 games before he has to go back down? Risto's absence could give him some time to try and prove he belongs in the NHL.

Guhle probably needs to go back to Jrs. and i would like to see nelson in roch.

but i almost wonder if that is what they do.. they probably don't want to break up McCabe Bogo..

Risto is greedy and sits out the year. Murray is a terrible GM. Lehner will get hurt in the second game of the season. ROR will have back surgery in early November. Jack and Samson will have sophomore slumps. In an act of desperation, we trade Nylander, Bailey and Peterson to the Jets for Tyler Myers. There is a good chance we'll finish last in the league because we are "One Buffalo".

I think that's it.

That's a steal.

OK maybe not a steal, but a fair contract for both sides. Solid work.

I was hoping for $5.5 or less. Well done GMTM! Also, well done Risto. Lace em' up and get back on the ice. This is a fair deal for both parties.

I figure he would move on his price, 6 or more was to much. 5-5.75 is where the Sabres were.
