Spend right, not like a drunken sailor.

I don’t think getting a marginal (if lucky ) #4 that is overpaid is improving. We need to spend money on improving the top end, not over pay on the bottom end

I think you're really under valuing him. Risto played way to much in buffalo. That wouldn't happen here..

Russia doing that, as a non combatant in that war, is a very big deal. Trump is the Commander-in-Chief. He is ultimately responsible for the well-being of those troops. He professes to have a positive personal relationship with Putin that could actually be put to good use.

Radcliffe could very well be lying. (His earlier nomination for the job was withdrawn because he was caught inflating his resume.)

The intelligence could be in the Daily Briefing Book but he wasn’t actually briefed. (He hates to be told anything bad about Vlad and if his name isn’t in every paragraph he doesn’t read it.

No matter how you cut it, he failure to take action against Russia - statement, sanctions, anything is a slap to everyone serving in the US forces. It’s disgusting.

According to reports he personally briefed Boris Johnson. According to his own tweet he knows it happened and hasnt condemned it anyway (his tweet saying the attacks were "not that many")


trump is routinely contradicting himself, his staffers, and his own press releases and his base just gobble it up too stupid to see the contradictions.

Rielly is on an excellent contract. We can't compare them. Plus I don't think Ristolainen would play well with Rielly. I think he's better suited to play with Muzzin. I'd rather have Ristolainen instead of Barrie and Ceci.
- PatC80


We can compare them, though. Especially since Rielly will be needing a new contract.

Even putting aside the fact that Ristolainen isn't good, there just straight up isn't any room for his contract.

cannot go backwards from #7 tonight. Kevyn Adams needs a top four draft pick where he must get himself a game changing forward

If he sucks he sucks.

Under valuing him how? He's been nothing but terrible, he's got an overpaid contract and we have to trade value for him?

I don't way the leafs to trade legit assets for a bad player on a bad contract. That doesn't help them improve and it doesn't the cap.

Considering the costs in doing the trade and cap, you gotta be pretty sure about the guy. Explaining away his play because he played on a bad team doesn’t cut it. Cause and effect at play.

Good player will still look somewhat good on bad teams, we've seen it all the time.

He's been awful, and his stats show that he's bad on a bad team.

Agreed.

Obviously there's players that play on bad teams that are good, but you can see it in their play. Ristolainen isn't that, though. Watch him and you see exactly how bad he is.

Good player on bad team typically have bad numbers but are better in comparison to the rest of their team. Ristolienen is worst on his team

Pretty scary thought for a team that has failed to make the playoffs for a decade.

Exactly. And it's not like it's only a little worse or anything. They're monumentally worse.

We all would agree that Ceci is a pretty bad d-man. He's a minus 53 playing the majority of his career on a sh!t Ottawa team. Over the same period Ristolainen is a -145. Why would any team give up any value for such a player? And he's making $5.4 million for two more years. Sabres would be lucky if he was exposed in the Seattle draft and they lost him without giving anything up.

Your assessment of Risto:





Put this guy on a solid team and he's going to be solid.
