We don't know who will be on the team by then, but that duo could be a good mismatch. Speedy with elements of playmaking and finish

Rodrigues is a good 4th line player that can play on the 3rd line

VO hopefully he’s with Casey or jack or Karlsson

Botts preaches patience but we’ll find out if he is. I agree as I’d rather wait to make sure he’s ready then bring him up too soon
Hopefully he shows he’s ready in camp as we will need him but if he’s not, they can’t force it.

Don’t worry usually people that do good in camp don’t make the team lol

Tage really should start the season in Roch

I wouldn’t be surprised if he was in a trade package

As a UConn alum I am really rooting for Tage and glad they got him. I just hope he can fill out and take the next steps. He should have been sent to the A much earlier and should be down there for at least the 1st half of this season. Hope he puts in the work this summer.

KHL please

JB won't pull the rip cord on him. That's part of a package he's getting tons of heat for. It's the same reason TT made the team over Nylander

Like many prospects, we see improvement and we get our hopes up and they don’t take that next step and sometimes regress. The organ-eye-zation needs to make sure they are developing properly. It very concerning that it happens so much with the Sabres.
- sabrerob

Botts has said on numerous occasions that he's all about development. The way he kept Pilut, Olofsson et al in Rochester last season seems to back that up

This GM is one of, if not the most patient GM we've had when it comes to prospect development.

I still don't get the TT anomaly. Every other prospect sat in Rochester until they were definitely ready, yet he never did. His flashes were enough to keep him here. Botts continues to defend the decision, but no one's convinced about him earning his spot here. Every other prospect needed to labor in the AHL.

Is our Blues pick the -1st pick of the 2nd round?

I still can’t understand what was going through his mind last year with that dumbass move ..

Two factors imo-

JB wanted Berglund, Sobotka and TT in the lineup to show how his trade madeover the roster

And

TT had played in the NHL the year before

But no one can tell me that he was better in the preseason than Nylander. It's just not true

If the 34th pick it’s basically a late first

Then that means the 30th first is basically a late 20th pick in the round

The truth will set you free.

Now back to Ristolainen to Chicago if the goal is the 3rd pick I wonder what the package could look like.

Or we might just trade Ristolainen for dylan strome and we cry a little inside

they would probably make you take one of their bad D contracts for that to happen..

I'm not a card carrying member of the Alex Nylander fan club, but that was some BS.

I also think that after VO won the player of the month in October, they should have swapped VO and TT. If Olofsson struggled, they could have just swapped him back
