They are looking for depth on D and at possibly Wing or C
- SABRES 89

So basically everything but goalie? lol

When Boston traded Hamilton to Calgary he had three seasons under his belt with 42 gp 5g 11a, 64 gp 7g 18a, 72 gp 10g 32a.
Boston got a 1st and two 2nds (15, 45, 52 OA)

Risto with arguably better numbers to start his career and the ability to play big minutes isn't worth more than just the #10 pick?

I would argue that just as many people here undervalue our players as they do overvalue them.

Risto is not getting traded. Common sense here, WE HAVE NO RHD behind him. Bogo - ha..... Risto will be much better, with reduced minutes.

O'Reilly is definitely a possibility, but you better get a scoring winger for Jack back for him. You'd then have to sign a stopgap center to take pressure of Mitts, or Tavares would work (one can dream)

3 more days til ROR isn't traded

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it's post July 1.

Wow hot damn San Jose done Ottawa dirty with that quick trade n' flip.

We don't have to trade Ristolainen. He can stay and be a top 4 D man for the remaining 4 years of his deal.

If a GM values him as a 1 or 2, JB should make the move.

Risto isn't a #1 and won't be our #1.

And I'd bet $$ Guhle is the better player by midseason.

It's the same scenario as ROR. Guys are waiting to take their minutes. Cash in now

Too much logic in this post.

So depth means everything but a goalie in your eyes ?

I think a 3rd line center, and a second pr RD gets you ror

I am not convinced a winger is essential to come back

we are hoarding a lot of left d men right now

I'd be a little surprised. Trades after the draft are relatively rare

Girgensons, McCabe, 2nd rounder in 2019, 3rd rounder in 2019 for Kessel.

Huh??

You said they are looking for depth D and a winger or center. You listed every other position on the ice but goalie.

Ristolainen for #10 from EDM

Pick 10 plus ROR for pick 3 and Jeff Petry

Sabres add

Petry
Zadina

For

Risto
ROR
- sbroads24

This is a unicorn....a 3 team deal (kind of) that is balanced and makes sense for all 3 teams.

- JVince11

Swap the 2nd rounder for SJS 1st then and add Baptiste

Bogosian for the rights to Cody Ceci!

not really

esp when bonuses are involved

ROR becomes about 5,000,000 X more valuable on July 2nd.

I have a feeling we're gonna be having this conversation for another year. I'm not hearing anything that would knock Bott's socks off, and I don't see him trading ror for a 3rd line center and a 2RD. That's the opposite of what he said about having good center depth

Bwahaha

Mike Vellucci: Andrei (Svechnikov) is an elite player and hopefully he'll still be there when we pick.

If Tim Murray didn't say this before picking Eichel , he should have

This is ignorance talking. But is there any way we could make a trade before July 1 and still agree to pay the bonus ?
