Sounds like the talk on Ristolainen is picking up. Nothing is imminent at this point, but TB still feels like the most likely landing spot if a trade happens. VAN and FLA have been in the mix as well.


Does this guy have sources? Or is he just an analytic guy?

Like I said before.

We get Pk and then ship Risto out. That is the only logical reasoning behind the Risto rumors.

Botts wouldn’t move Risto without have a replacement.

Because he's made ~83M in just salary over the course of his career, and a lower contract $ prolly puts more suitors out there with the ability to afford them, as the bonuses roll to the next year. Just a thought.

No he has ZERO sources.. he just writes for SB Nation's Die By The Blade and is a known Risto HATTTTEERRRRRRRR. Lol.

Just yesterday it was Kyperos or Friedman said that he is hearing that Risto is pretty safe now and the plan is to see him under Krueger for at least the time til the trade deadline.

I posted the twitter exchange on here but it was the text from Kyperos on a radio show... I think it was either with WGR or one that WGR just played over the waves.

They said it seemed less likely but after thinking about it some more I think that is just posturing. Whenever there is this much smoke around a player he almost always ends up being traded soon. As always, consider how these guys know this information and who it would benefit.

He's neither. His analytics stuff comes from one of his twitter followers.

I just see the part where he says they may want to hang on to him cause of Kreuger. Sounds more like a guess than actual knowledge.

They are comparable only in the sense of their placement in the lineup.

Subban is unquestionably worth more than Bogosian. But that contract is woof central, and may hinder us in building a balanced roster. Dahlin is about to surpass Subban's offense for 8M less.

I'm simply against paying another guy who can't defend and is injury prone 9M. That's all. That's exactly what Nashville is thinking too. And they need a buyer.

People here always forget about cap hits here. A player can be good but if he’s overpaid he is a negative to the makeup of a team. We all cheer how Tampa and Toronto might lose a good player because of cap but then want to trade for overpaid players. That will be us in a couple years then, unable to pay mitts because we have boat anchor contracts with minimal value

Might be a good time for Doug Armstrong to FLEECE Botterill again! He would be happy to trade a young Defenseman and Forward for another disappointment of the Sabres!

Risto is paid like a 2nd pairing D-man.

He needs to be used as such.

The Sabres need to get him a good partner. (Krug cough)

Krug-Risto as your 2nd pair is pretty damn good IMO.

These are sort of how I’ve been explaining it to people (pants and gloves white too). Vegas gold and Sabres Navy Blue. Not exact but close to the design
