Also Datsyuk is eyeing a return to the NHL (Supposedly)

There is a guy I'd go after hard.

Speaking to the Free Press on Thursday, Dan Milstein, who has represented Datsyuk as his sole agent since 2014, said Datsyuk might consider returning to the NHL three years after leaving. If so, the agent believes there’d only be one club in the mix: the Detroit Red Wings.

Milstein said he has not spoken to any NHL executives about Datsyuk and won’t until “he tells me he is considering coming back to the NHL."

“I believe if he wants to come back he would consider only one club," Milstein said.

"He spent entire career in Detroit. If he wants to come back, I believe he would only consider the Red Wings.”

I think his contract runs out this year. If he does come back, he's gonna be a 42-year old good 4th line center

The only thing consoling me in everyone that wants to trade Ristolainen is that it wont happen.

The OP is atrocious asset management and goes against the team's desire to actually win.

Keep one of Bogo or Scandella then?

They are just more expensive.

Sign Myers to a 2-3 year deal as a 4-6 Dman

Bogo and Risto are actually doing things. Scandella is actually succeeding on the PK, but is definitely not great overall. Sobotka is Sobotka, but you can't just throw him in the garbage without replacing him.

How many teams are giving up young and promising top 4 dmen? That answer is about zero. So using a 1st and a prospect to get one will likely not be beneficial to the team, because of who he'd replace, plus the value of the pick and prospect, long term. If you want Seth Jones, you need to trade Ryan Johansen. If you want Ryan McDonagh, you need to trade a bundle of 1st round picks and prospects.

The Sabres are not structured for this kind of trade today. You find yourself a Chiarelli trading Drai for Risto and a 1st, by all means. But good luck.

Oh, god.

So you forgot one of the ducks dmen.
You are keeping both bogo and Scandella
Myers is a good 4-6 dman. He is not a 5MM d man.

Not to mention the Sabres would have a 2nd line center worth a damn that is able to put up more than 14 points in 50 games........

That's not a second pair. Bogo's passing is really bad

The idea of trading for a Ducks D, and flipping Risto for a top 2 C, along w dealing Bogo and/or Scandella is fine.

Clearly we would have to pick another D up.

Or, you hang on to Bogo next year for some insurance, and hopefully Guhle is ready for next year and Borgen the following year.



Dahlin/Ducks' D
Bogo/Pilut
Guhle/McCabe

Or insert FA D somewhere in there.

Kadri

Obviously not all equal.

Also apparently Burakovsky is available. See what the cost is

I expected more from casey, tage, okposo, sheary and the pod racer


and e rod



this season's failure totally falls on the second and third line IMO and I expected them to be more credible than anemic

That's where risto comes in.
Where are we going to replace his 50 point scoring pace, from a defenseman?


Just grab 1 of 4 guys from the ducks? That guy will do it.
