So now Risto isn't playing up to standards now ? christ it never ends on this site.
- SABRES 89

No no no no lol

Why don't we have this conversation in a few years? 13 games in one season do not make a career.

You need to settle down. I can't imagine what your blood pressure looks like most of the time.

no wonder it takes him 15 minutes to order a sub

I'm actually a really really happy person Lol

4 even strength points in 10 games already. Positive possession numbers.

Remember when he and Bogo were a "swap"?

ok, so myers is playing better than ekblad


all the more reason not to trade risto and a lottery ticket for ekblad

Yes but you're getting a future Noris trophy winner IMO and is going to be one of the top elite defenseman in the league for many years

It's a huge price but Worth it

Dream scenario lol
- GERBE!!!75PTS

So you'd rather have a guy that's on what should be a better team currently than the Sabres and only has 2 points, is a -7, and costs more than a guy that has 8 points, is only a -1 and is cheaper?

Your logic skills appall me.

(this is in no way a diss on Ekblad, because I like him, just don't think trading Risto AND a 1st would be wise in this instance)

Him and Draisaitl have 1 point difference...and they were in the same draft...

Just pointing it out because you keep crying about how all the other guys in the draft are producing so much more than him...
- HonkFortheGoose

And people aren't that happy with Draisaitl's play as of late.

This is what I expected Reinhart to do, because I didn't think he was all that impressive last year. He's a good player. Just not much more

right now, with the 2 mil difference on contracts

I am not sure I would swap them w/o a first pick in the deal

Whatttttttt??? You do know who ekblad is right

It's a dream scenario it's never gonna happen Anyway lol

reinhart is a set up man

it was a fluke IMO he had more goals than helpers last year, or a reality of how bad our top 9 was


this season, he is playing with less talent, so the helpers are going down as well

I think Risto has been a beast this year. I didn't really think he was an issue in the first place, but I feel like he's taken his game to a whole new level this year so far.

Whether he can keep it up with the minutes he's getting for the whole year is beyond me, but I dare say he's been the best player on the team for the year.

I wish msnbc would tell that to rachel

You apparently missed the part at the bottom.

I like Ekblad. I think he's a good player. But he's having a not so great start to the year.

How many games did ROR go pointless last season on that streak ? Seems We have a whole roster doing that early . Hope it ends soon.

Bet money the guy with the "Not my president" sign did not vote.
- CoHo_to_B-Lo

Yeah but you know in your head that he's going to be one of the top elite defenseman's in the league

Risto is a maybe

But it's A dream scenario your basically just getting a better defenseman
