How much snow did you get , heard there was some .

As far as total or now?

Because the grass is greenish here.

BUT if the guy eating all those minutes isn't good...

Good time to see what we have in Roch . No room now to see them play ATM.

@andystrickland

Speculation of Rasmus Ristolainen to Tampa Bay won’t seem to go away. #Sabres #gobolts
- GilPerreault11

How the hell are they gonna afford Risto?
They need to move out salary

I’m assuming that Point isn’t coming this way
Jt Miller? Tyler Johnson?
Good players...
but RH defensemen are a premium in the league
So if we are getting 1 of those guys,
there better be a major “+” coming our way as well

And when u consider we need an upgrade over Bogo in our top4...
trading Risto leaves us with ZERO right handed defensemen for the top4

Sis in law had snow in AZ . Near apache junction.

Fat, drunk, and stupid.......

Keep up the good work

Those were trades made by the SAME gm.

That's my point. Give the guy a (frank)ing chance.
- Powerslave

Ohhhhhhh

Well sure... it’s not like I’m saying we should fire Botts

But it’s fair to criticize him for a bad trade in hopes it doesn’t happen again

Someone said Cernak and Miller is the offer?
- Powerslave

If thats it then thats a hard pass and not even worth taking the call.

It's fair to criticize him, sure, but some on here act like he'll never complete a good trade.

If thats it then thats a hard pass and not even worth taking the call.
- dadeadhead

Agreed.

Someone said Cernak and Miller is the offer?
- Powerslave

Not enough
And Botts better have a replacement for top4 RH defenseman in mind

Someone said Cernak and Miller is the offer?
- Powerslave

That would be a combined $6M coming back, with JT Miller turning 26 in 2 weeks and having his deal going for 4 more years at $5.25M. Erik Cernak is an RHD who will be 22 in May and will be an RFA after next season.

It's fair to criticize him, sure, but some on here act like he'll never complete a good trade.

Lots of overreacting on here

Ppl are frustrated

If they trade Risto they can't trade for crap, overpaid veterans, a pretty good prospect and a 1st. They better get a premium top 6 + and depending how premium maybe +

- jdfitz77

Cheking out Tampa roster I know he's LH but get me Sergachev. Callahan has another year left on his deal I wonder what we could do with him included

- jdfitz77

Agreed.

Actually, I wouldn't even want them to add to this. I'd want different players.

BUT if the guy eating all those minutes isn't good...
- mattmoulson

Come on let's not be silly. A physical 50 point defenceman and a good player


Let's hope Botts doesn't run the the like you want.

But if he's overrated, how big a return are we supposed to realistically expect?

TB has $1.7m in cap space and Risto's remaining cap hit is just over $1.2m.

Lots of overreacting on here

- jdfitz77

I get the frustration.

If he ends up trading Risto for that crap, I'll be on board with Gordong.

Maybe risto’s abnormally high effort level the other day was because he knew he was auditioning.

Unless there's a third team involved, I just don't see it.

- mattmoulson

Interesting thoughts
But yeah... we have so many LH guys now

I guess Miller + Cernak is interesting if Botts feels Cernak can be a legit top4 guy
I thought he was more of a 3rd pair type,
but also don’t watch him much

They need to trade Callahan badly
I’d take him for 1 season if it means we get a good bonus from them

- Shadman306

We could use a few players that have abnormally high effort EVERY night. Not expected with this team we have now
