I’m trying to figure out how adding an 8 mil 2C with term, who’s hasn’t been that good in a few years, is a good idea. I just don’t see it.
I’d rather try to buy low on Arvidsson after a down year but he’s probably not available - sbroads24
Well Marcus Johansson had 30 points this year. So anything above that is an upgrade |

Ryjo is a set up center man. Skinner needs that.
2021 First, Mitts and Okposo for Ryjo
I'd rather have an overpaid 2C than an overpaid 4RW. Preds get the futures they want.

I don’t have a huge issue with the player, but that contract is brutal.
Adding him is basically the last large contract they can give a forward if Reinhart gets 7 mil.

of more importance to me is how this deteriorated from some simple jabs to me being called a racist...
dude, that's f^cked up...some people can see it, some can't...

The more I think about it, I dont know that I'd do it unless Okposo is involved. At the very least, Risto. But if theyre getting Mitts without taking Okposo, I'd want a good sweetener |

Johansen has 5 more years left on his deal and that could really put them in a bind if Cozens and the pick this year are as good as we all hope they are. |

Why are we giving up so much ? Nashville is trying to unload him if anything you could get him cheap

The more that I think about it, I wonder if someone like Reinhart would be involved if another top 6 winger comes this way from what that guy on the other board said.
Johansen and Arvidsson for Reinhart, B prospect and pick? |

2 quick takes on the Ryan Johansen bashing
take 1, they play a defensive first game and their first line players put up second line numbers due to this. Look at the team numbers over the years. There is a reason why Josi led them in scoring, by a mile.
take 2 Johanson is durable, a true play making center and even in this defense first system, put up 249 points in 351 games with the preds - homiedclown
Their 3rd line Center in Bonino outscored him 5v5 with worse wingers against tougher competition,
with heavy Def zone starts vs RyJo’s heavy offensive starts
And it’s not just points
The guy’s effort & attitude is questioned bc he routinely disappears
Do u really wanna bring an $8mil per year guy onto this team who doesn’t try hard?
That’s the last thing we need
All the talent in the world doesn’t matter if u don’t have heart

A horrific idea is doing nothing to lift the burden off Cozens for next year - jcragcrumple
A more horrific idea is to worry about next year vs the 5yrs of garbage we’ll get from RyJo
Did we not learn our lesson with Okposo?? |

That's over $12M in salary coming back for each of the next 4 years for a little more than half that going out (assuming Reinhart is between $6M-$7M on his next deal).
That's a lot of $$$. |

I'm not tied to the Ryjo idea, but the worst thing the Sabres could do this summer is nothing. Then Eichel demands a trade when we suck again next year.
If i can get Ryjo and lose Okposo in the same trade, sign me up. Ryjo is exactly what Skinner needs.
I'll take 5 years of Ryjo over 3 more of Okposo |

It is. just trying to think of what other scenario makes sense of what that dude posted.
Tolvanen isn’t an established top 6 winger, Forsberg is out of the question.

He's a 55+ point center with Skinner. Guaranteed.
He's hit 60p 4 times. He could even hit 70 again. |

The 2021 1st round pick and Mittelstadt.
If theyre actually going to blow it up, they're not gonna do any better for RyJo with his salary.
Okposo's contract ends in 3 years, which should be around the time theyre trying to contend again and come out of a rebuild.
It makes sense if theyre going to do a rebuild |

And Nashville isn’t gonna do that
And the worst we we can do is NOT nothing
The worst thing we can do is make a desperate trade for a bad contract that we’ll be stuck with for 5yrs

Is Skinner better than Forsberg or Arvidsson?
It’s not like RyJo was playing with Sobotka |

I highly doubt they’d be willing to take back Okposo
And we shouldn’t be willing to give up that much just to get rid of one bad contract & bring back another
No bad contracts, period
No guys with effort/attitude issues, period

Ryjo is at least a 55p 2C with Skinner. 15+40 is right in his wheelhouse.
The Sabres could do a lot worse |
