Let me guess. If the previous posts are right then the trade will be Risto and Hutton for Schenn and Binnington Done

And he clarified on the Instigators and said his value isn't as much down as it is Buffalo is asking too much for him.

Trades are out there. Botts missed out on the low price for julien Gauthier. Young 22 year old goal scoring RW traded for a 3rd round defensemen. Maybe Botts thinks we are weak in defense prospects 🙄

Or, it was not offered to Botts.

There are other possibilities than Botts being an idiot, sucking, sitting on his hands.

He traded ROR for something he thought was right but was not. Perhaps he has learned from his mistake?

There just could be other reasons that NONE of know of.

he can't run the second or third line

how can he run the franchise?

- homiedclown


Krueger cant make a 2c out of thin air.
Moving Johansson to center was the best he could do with what talent he was given.

If skinner isnt playing his system, he should be in Krueger's dog house.

Finally a coach that has benched veterans.

I also see your side, this season has hardly been a success. Injuries have been an issue.

Hutton's play isn't on the head coach is it?

More projected points than the last coaching regime

Jack Hughes (7-13-20) and Kaapo Kakko (8-12-20) have the same amount of points and are both -22.

Fun.

Maybe I'm wrong but I honestly don't get the Risto hate. Yes, he's had bad analytics for years because he's been on poopty teams but he's been better this year.

Which is why, if you don't get what you want, you do not trade him right now

I struggle to believe that he is better at defense than those two.

Really!
Said the same in July.
Glad Botts is catching up.
Slow learner, horrible talent evaluator.

They both seem to have better numbers than him right now. Jokiharju has definitely lapped him, they see similar usage and Jokiharju sees less time with the top line than Ristolainen does.
